POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW low carbon cement and concrete construction materials

Areas of Research: civil engineering materials, cement and concrete, sustainability, life cycle

assessment, durability, natural and enforced carbonation, greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment &

mitigation

Overview of the position: Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral position in the area of low

carbon cement and concrete construction materials.

 

The research program is led by Prof. Daman Panesar. The objective of the research is to provide a

scientific assessment of the implications of existing and emerging techniques and technologies to

carbonate concrete and its constituents through natural and/or enforced approaches. This research

includes:

  •  Understanding carbonation mechanisms, and critical assessment of CO2 uptake and concrete

performance over various life stages (product, use and end-of-life) in a Canadian context.

  •  Evaluation of implications of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) techniques, and naturally

carbonated concrete on the properties and long-term performance of cement-based materials.

 

The candidate will be the lead contributor to peer reviewed publications, technical reports, and

conference proceedings; assist in the supervision of students; and participate in meetings with

academic, industrial, and government partners.
