Benjamin Kromoser

Benjamin Kromoser is a Professor for Resource Efficient Structural Engineering at the Institute of Green Civil Engineering (BOKU Vienna). He leads research projects on sustainable construction methods, including additive manufacturing of biobased materials, timber-concrete composites, and topology optimization of structural elements. His work bridges digital fabrication, circular economy principles, and industry 4.0 in civil engineering.

• Head of Institute of Green Civil Engineering (2022–present)
• Speaker of Doctoral School Build.Nature (2021–2022)
• University Professor for Biobased Design (2018–2022)

His research focuses on reducing environmental impacts through automated design, 3D printing of concrete, and non-metallic reinforcement. Recent projects include 3DP Biowalls (biobased recyclable walls) and prestressed carbon-UHPC elements.

Scientific awards include the fib Achievement Award (2019), Inits Award (2016), and Bundespreis für Ecodesign (2016).
