How does new experimental method benefit our cement & concrete study?

Prof. Guoqing Geng is currently Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, after being awarded his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley and working as a postdoc at PSI in Switzerland. Thanks to his international experience, Prof. Geng has developed a unique approach involving highly sophisticated techniques, such as synchrotron facilities, to investigate the morphological, physical and crystallochemical properties of cement-based materials at the nano and micrometer scales. His experimental results have provided a long-awaited validation of computational modelling aimed at defining the structure of C-S-H and C-A-S-H. The high level and high impact of his research activities have granted Prof. Geng important awards and recognitions. Prof. Geng is also active in training young talents and several members of his research group have received awards and achievements. In recognition of his involvement in the scientific community, Prof. Geng has recently been appointed as RILEM regional convener of East Asia.
