Seemab Tayyab is a PhD candidate in Civil Engineering at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), Australia, and a member of the Centre for Future Materials. His research focuses on sustainable construction materials, with particular emphasis on one-part geopolymer composites, waste-derived alkaline activators, industrial and agricultural waste utilisation, and low-carbon cementitious materials. His work also involves the mechanical, microstructural, environmental, and economic assessment of geopolymer systems. He has published research on waste-derived activators and sustainable geopolymer materials and is actively involved in developing practical low-carbon alternatives for construction applications.
