    E6 - Davide Lo Presti, Associate Professor @ University of Palermo
    May 13 2026
    Davide Lo Presti started his career with a bag of crumb rubber and a PhD question: could waste tyre material be meaningfully integrated into asphalt? Twenty years later, he is leading the SMARTI Lab at the University of Palermo, chairing RoadLCA — the International Symposium on Pavement and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment — and watching the research he began in Nottingham become mandatory in Italian procurement law. This episode covers the full arc: what it takes to move sustainable materials research into industry practice, why road authorities are the real lever of change, how to train engineers who think in lifecycles from day one, and what comes after carbon accounting. One honest takeaway: the tipping point is not a moment. It is a generation.

    In this episode of Sustainable Infrastructure, we sit down with Marta Bouchard, Sustainability Solutions Director at Autodesk. Marta shares her journey from sustainability consultant to technology leader, and why she made the switch: impact at scale. We explore how Autodesk built an open partner ecosystem to bring carbon measurement directly into the tools engineers already use, and why no single company can solve infrastructure decarbonization alone. Marta breaks down the real barriers to adoption, the 33% variation problem in carbon calculations across the industry, and what comes after carbon. Whether you work in design, sustainability, or strategy, this episode will change how you think about the role platforms play in driving industry-wide change.
