I am a materials chemist with interests in sustainable cement chemistry and alternative construction materials. My research concerns the use of X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) for microstructural and mineralogical analysis of clays and cementitious materials. After completing my PhD in 2018, I have been working on a number of consultancy and knowledge exchange projects with cement industry and waste management companies in the UK. Currently, my research is focused on new physical and chemical processing methods for producing highly reactive pozzolanic materials from various types of low-grade clays.
Overview
Currently working on two ERDF funded projects ARENA and ENE, and two consultancy projects with Tarmac Cement Ltd and Augean PLC.
