We presented a poster & paper on our work with Omar Matar, Petit Materials Lab, Andrius Patapas & Jason Stafford at the IOM3’s 43rd Cement & Concrete Science Conference at Queen's University Belfast 🎓. Alperen's presentation received significant interest & we look forward to presenting more in the future.

Great to be interviewed among prominent scientists & engineers🧑‍🔬👷this week The Naked Scientists. Really enjoyed discussing the different ways engineers are tackling the climate crisis & how our Resilient Sustainable Infrastructure Group puddle-free pavement research can play a part in addressing this challenge.
