Season 4 - Episode 9 - Can Sustainable Materials Be Beautiful?

Sustainability seems to be discussed in all areas of our lives nowadays. But what does it actually mean for a materials engineer?

In this episode we had a chance to talk to Dr. Tim Huber (LIST) about his multi-disciplinary approach to designing sustainable materials. Tim, who also has extensive experience of teaching design students, is currently trying to convince more people about the necessary dialogue between material engineers and designers. He definitely got us hooked. And you?
