I was a researcher interested in building materials and how they interact with the environment. During my PhD in ENPC (France), I was interested in cement blended with supplementary cementitious materials to help decrease the total CO2 produced for a given volume of concrete. My area of expertise was centered on the durability of this class of concrete, particularly within regard to carbonation and how to model it via numerical reactive transport model.
