Biography

I am a researcher in the field of sustainable cementitious materials, with an academic background in Chemistry and interdisciplinary experience in materials science and civil engineering. My work focuses on the development and characterization of low-carbon binders and modified cementitious systems, including magnesium-based cements, alkali-activated materials, and matrices incorporating industrial by-products and construction residues. A central research line involves fiber-reinforced cementitious composites, particularly fiber cement systems reinforced with lignocellulosic and synthetic fibers. My studies address fiber dispersion, fiber–matrix interactions, mechanical performance, dimensional stability and durability, supported by microstructural and physicochemical techniques such as XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, TGA and SEM/EDS. Another key area of my research is CO₂ capture and mineralization in cementitious materials, with emphasis on accelerated carbonation curing. I investigate carbonation kinetics, phase transformations, formation of hydrated magnesium carbonates, and the effects of carbonation on microstructure and mechanical performance. Overall, my research aims to contribute to the development of durable, high-performance and environmentally responsible cementitious materials, aligned with decarbonisation strategies in the construction sector.
