Juliana Berglund-Brown
PhD researcher
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Juliana Berglund-Brown (she/her) is a PhD researcher in Building Technology advised by Professor John Ochsendorf at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research explores circular strategies to mitigate carbon emissions and new resource extraction in structural systems. She is focused on scaling the reuse of structural steel elements in buildings, through quantitative material, and carbon analyses, and close collaboration with the steel value chain. Currently, she is conducting work to better understand the end-of-life of buildings, building lifetimes, and obsolescence. Her work is supported by the USA EPA, as a part of the low carbon building materials grant program, and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. She currently holds a visiting research position in the Circular Economy for Architecture Group at ETH Zürich.
