Academic interests

My main fields of interests are the mix design and investigation on the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete, Portland cement concrete, innovative cementitious materials, Energy efficiency improvement in building materials, Rheology of building materials, Phase change materials, computer simulation. I am currently working on a project in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) where we are developing geopolymer concrete for lunar construction.
