Abstract: The innovative design and preparation of low-carbon cement materials play an important role in the carbon reduction process in construction industry. This report discusses the latest research progress of Dr. Ke’s research group in the design and preparation process of novel low-carbon cement-based materials and the utilization of CO2. It includes three main technical directions, namely the co-utilization of thermodynamic modeling and machine learning models, mechanochemical processing process of materials, and carbonization utilization technology of waste minerals.

Brief Introduction: Dr. Ke Xinyuan, Lecturer/Assistant Professor, PhD supervisor, in Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Bath,UK. She have been studied in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Sheffield from 2013 to 2017, and her doctoral thesis won the Excellent Paper Award (2017). Her research interests include characterization and mechanism of inorganic silicate materials, chemical reaction kinetics simulation of cement-based materials, solidification of hazardous solid/liquid wastes by geopolymers, carbon storage and functionalization of cement-based materials,etc. She has published more than 30 academic papers as the first author/corresponding author in Cement and Concrete Research, ACS Sustainable Chem.Eng. and other journals, and has hosted (PI) four research projects funded by EPSRC, Royal Society, and Innovate UK.
