Ph.D., NanoGeoScience, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, 2016

Research interest:
My research focuses on creating the bridge to understand the link between glass degradation and precipitation of zeolites. Laboratory experiments at geological storage conditions are designed to study influencing factors that promote zeolite precipitation. I am investigating the thermodynamics and kinetics of zeolite crystallization in complex environments to identify their impact on waste glass alteration and to derive the mechanistic parameters for accurate long-term prediction of nuclear glasses.

Research interest:
My research focuses on “green” building materials, designed by computational methods (DFT, molecular dynamics). Briefly, the new generation of building materials (cement clinkers) are re-designed by atomic doping substitutions in order to (1) reduce sintering temperature/energy consumption, (2) enhance reactivity/product-strength with equivalent material consumption, and (3) reduce heat capacity.
