Research Areas
Nano-reinforced cementitious composites
CNT/CNF-modified binders and hybrid fiber systems to enhance tensile strength, toughness, and post-crack energy absorption.
Low-embodied-carbon & COâ‚‚-utilizing concretes
SCMs (calcined clays, slag, fly ash), biochar, and mineralization strategies to reduce cement-related emissions.
Concrete rheology & early-age behavior
Tailoring fresh-state rheology for pumpability, workability, and advanced applications such as 3D printing.
ASR mitigation & durability
Metakaolin–CNT blends and microstructural engineering to control expansion and preserve mechanical performance.
