Key Responsibilities:

• Responsible for new carbon material-enhanced concrete by incorporating various carbon materials that are securely stored while improving concrete properties.

• Conduct comprehensive testing on all relevant aspects of the advanced concrete materials developed.

• Perform cost-benefit analysis and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the developed materials.

• Carry out research on carbon material-enhanced concretes using various forms of carbon and demonstrate the developed materials in suitable large-scale applications.

• Collaborate within the PI’s group on related research topics, including self-healing materials, self-sensing materials, sustainable cementless materials using regional waste/by-products, 3D-printable concrete, and low-carbon footprint concretes.

Job Requirements

• Master’s degree in a relevant field, with strong research experience and an excellent journal publication record.

• Prior experience in similar research and a proven track record of journal publications and/or IP generation will be highly reviewed.

• Prior relevant experiment skills such as nano and/or microstructural based material tailoring, novel and sustainable concrete development, geopolymer or other green cement, mechanical testing, thermal and/or electrical conductivity testing, and material chemical and micro-structural analysis.
