Research

I am dedicated to advancing eco-friendly and low-carbon footprint solutions in the field of mining and construction engineering. My work centers on developing high-performance and sustainable cementitious materials for mining and geothermal applications. Additionally, I specialize in leveraging machine learning for materials design, shallow geothermal systems development, and steel fiber-reinforced concrete.
