Research Title: Development of Thermal Mass Concrete Using Construction and Demolition Waste.
Research Overview: The primary aim of my research is to recycle major construction and demolition waste (C&D) streams, such as waste timber, concrete, plasterboard, and cleanfill soil to produce new, fully recycled concrete mixes. Instead of paying to send C&D waste to landfills, construction and demolition companies will be able to use my research to produce value-added concrete products for applications such as thermal mass slabs in new residential construction. Ultimately, the methods and recycled materials studied and developed during this research will reduce C&D waste and associated emissions while improving energy efficiency in future housing.
Main Supervisor: Dr. Giuseppe Loporcaro
Co-supervisor: Professor Allan Scott
Research interests: My research interests include concrete technology, sustainable infrastructure, and all things structural concrete.
Personal interests: Outside of my studies, I enjoy cooking, swimming, music (especially singing), reading philosophy, and having a pint at the UC Staff Club with my friends!
