Dr Laura Gutierrez-Bucheli is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Future Building Initiative, Monash University, and a Project Lead at the Building 4.0 CRC, working at the intersection of built-environment innovation, education research, and workforce transformation. Her research is unified by a focus on building the knowledge, skills, and systems needed for a more sustainable, productive, and equitable built environment. This focus connects inquiry across engineering education, curriculum design, Industry 5.0 transition, construction productivity, and teacher knowledge, approached as an integrated whole, where technological and environmental transitions in the construction sector are inseparable from questions of how people learn, how workforces adapt, and how education systems respond. Drawing on a background in civil engineering and a PhD in Education, Laura brings a transdisciplinary lens spanning STEM and the social sciences. Her publications span engineering education, environmental education, teacher knowledge, construction management, and workforce development. Current projects include investigating the skills and training implications of MMC adoption across Australia's construction sector and exploring how qualification frameworks can better support workforce transitions driven by digitalisation and sustainability imperatives. Laura has held research and teaching roles at Monash University and previously served as a full-time lecturer at Universidad de los Andes.
