I am a civil engineer and a building material scientist.
My research interest is focusing on the development, characterisation and optimisation of advanced high-performance composite building materials (primarily cement-based) with enhanced environmental sustainability, circular-based design approach and improved durability toward their application in civil engineering structures.
My goal is to understand the complex relationships between the microstructure of the material, the interaction between the constituents at mesoscale and the influence on the final macroscopic properties of the material by a holistic approach considering the entire lifecycle of the material.
