Profile

I am a PhD researcher working on the upcycling of alkaline wastes through CO₂ mineralization, with a particular focus on controlling metastable phases in carbonated cementitious systems.

My academic and industrial background bridges polymer engineering, cement-based composites, and low-carbon cementitious materials, including the development of hybrid cementitious composites.

Through my work, I aim to contribute to the design of sustainable, durable, and high-performance construction materials for practical engineering applications.

Research

My current research focuses on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies and the development of sustainable cementitious materials. I investigate how chemical additives, particularly polymers, influence the formation, stability, and transformation of crystalline phases in carbonated cement-based systems.

By combining phase analysis, microstructural characterization, and materials design, my work aims to advance low-carbon construction materials with improved performance, durability, and environmental value.
