Experimental research of concretes, geopolymers, and alkali activated materials based on waste materials is my primary area of study. I perform basic research in material technology to apply industrial waste and by-products as secondary raw materials in construction, as well as applied research to implement high performance and durable low-carbon building materials in collaboration with the construction companies. This also includes life-cycle assessment (LCA) and evaluation of carbon footprint of the developed materials (EPD), as well as overcoming regulatory barriers for more efficient implementation and general acceptance of circular building materials. Additionally, I have distinct interest in investigating composites containing different carbon nanomaterials to develop cementitious materials with multifunctionalities such as self-sensing and self-heating.
