About

Inês Flores-Colen is a Full Professor at Universidade de Lisboa Instituto Superior Técnico in Portugal. Her research primarily focuses on the durability and performance of building materials, including hydraulic lime-based renders and thermal insulating composite systems. Recent articles explore innovative uses of waste materials in cement-based mortars and the application of machine learning in predicting material properties. She is dedicated to advancing the understanding of hygrothermal behavior in construction materials and their sustainability in changing climates.
