Personal profile
Research interests
Passionate about advancing sustainable construction, I specialise in developing innovative structural systems and materials that push the boundaries of sustainability. My research is rooted in concrete science and technology, focusing on low carbon materials and structural health monitoring, integrating machine learning techniques to optimise performance and longevity. With a keen interest in civil and structural engineering, I explore the potential of advanced fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for structural applications.
My work bridges the gap between traditional structural engineering practices and innovations in the built environment. I have a strong focus on recycling, utilizing wastepaper sludge ash (WSA), construction and demolition waste, and other sustainable materials like fly ash, GGBS, and metakaolin to promote eco-friendly solutions.
An advocate for computational techniques, I am dedicated to enhancing construction practices through computational optimization and deep learning, ensuring that our built environment is both resilient and sustainable for future generations.
