Haning Zhao is a research assistant in the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Safety, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales as well as a lecture in the School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, recognized for his expertise in developing and characterizing sustainable concrete materials for civil infrastructure applications. His research focuses on recycling and utilizing construction and municipal solid waste as an alternative to traditional aggregates in concrete. This approach ensures the mechanical properties and durability of concrete materials while improving their environmental and economic benefits. Dr. Zhao has employed a range of micro-characterization techniques to deeply investigate the microstructure, micromechanical properties, and chemical element distribution patterns in the interfacial transition zone between cementitious materials and recycled aggregates. Based on this, he has established the connection between the macroscopic mechanical properties of sustainable concrete materials and the micro-performance of the interfacial transition zone under complex aggressive environment conditions. Over the past three years, Dr. Zhao's research has been successively published in journals such as Cement and Concrete Composites, Journal of Cleaner Production, and Construction and Building Materials. His research contributes to promoting the sustainable development of concrete materials.
