Research

Research Interests

My research interests are centered on the areas of sustainable cement-based materials (e.g., shotcrete and grout) and geothermal modeling. In these areas, all graduate students have been guaranteed research projects with clear scopes and objectives. These projects and related publications can be found on my research website (link), which is regularly updated.
