Research Title
Innovative Calcination Techniques and Sustainable Low-Carbon Cement manufacturing.
Biography
Md Sayeed Faisal is a doctoral student in the Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering program at Arizona State University, focusing on Structural and Materials Engineering. Prior to attending ASU he completed his Master’s in Engineering from Texas State University in 2024. Faisal has expertise in concrete materials research, focusing on the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and waste-based materials in concrete, and the development of low-carbon cementitious systems. He is also skilled in advanced mechanisms, such as carbon sequestration and CO₂ capture within concrete. His proficiency spans a wide array of mechanical and durability assessments, supported by a robust foundation in microstructural analysis techniques crucial for concrete materials research. Now, under the mentorship of Professor Dr. Narayanan Neithalath, he is advancing innovative low-energy calcination techniques to produce low-carbon cement, as an aim to decarbonize cement industry.
