About

I am a civil engineering researcher specializing in sustainable construction materials applications in concrete technology. My work focuses on developing eco-friendly geopolymer concretes utilizing industrial by-products. I integrate experimental characterization techniques, including XRD, SEM, EDS, and Raman spectroscopy, with statistical validation to optimize material properties and sustainability performance. My research interests include green concrete development and predictive modeling. I am committed to advancing low-carbon and circular economy solutions in the construction industry.
