We strive to accelerate the creation and deployment of sustainable technologies that help mitigate the detrimental effects of climate change. We focus on the development of:
Sustainable cements (including alkali-activated materials)
Solid sorbents for CO2 capture and novel regeneration methods
CO2 storage technologies
This research exploits key experimental and computational methods founded in materials science to uncover new fundamental insight on chemical and physical processes that dictate technology performance behavior. A major part of our research centers on manipulating these newly discovered chemical and physical processes to obtain optimal technology performance and/or reduced CO2 emissions.
