Areas of expertise: Construction materials, Waste reduction
I am interested in reducing carbon footprint associated with concrete production. The vision is to use industrial and agricultural waste to partly or wholly replace ordinary Portland cement in concrete.
It is important because concrete is the most widely used construction material on earth. Further, it’s production requires Portland cement, which is responsible for about 8% of global CO2 emissions. My work aims to benefit the global construction industry by reducing its carbon footprint.
