Overview

The main goal of Advanced and Sustainable Infrastructure Materials (ASIM) research group is to integrate materials science, advanced characterization techniques, and civil engineering (1) to develop advanced and sustainable materials for infrastructure, buildings, and structures, and (2) to assess/improve the service life of concrete infrastructure. We are particularly interested in developing advanced and sustainable materials for civil engineering applications such as high performance cementitious materials (sustainable and durable concrete, ultra-high performance concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, and self-consolidating concrete), thermal energy storage materials (phase change materials), and eco-friendly construction materials (carbonated calcium silicate concrete). 

Research Interests
