Overview
The construction industry accounts for 8–10% of global anthropogenic CO₂ emissions and faces significant challenges in achieving NetZero targets by 2050. This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation construction materials that are both low-carbon and climate-resilient. The research will focus on designing and testing functional materials—including alternative binders and aggregates—that incorporate waste-derived and industrial by-product materials while enhancing durability under environmental stressors such as freeze-thaw cycles, chemical exposure, and thermal fluctuations.
