Summary

Dr Hammad Anis Khan has over 10 years of experience in the field of structural engineering, with a focus on utilizing sustainable construction practices. He has worked on developing green low-carbon concretes like geopolymer, alkali-activated blends, and blended cement-based concrete. He has a strong background in building design, serviceability assessments, infrastructure service life evaluation, durability design, and forensics assessments of damaged structures. He has investigated concrete problems ranging from high-temperature to freeze-thaw damages, chemical attacks like (ASR, ACR, DEF, Thaumasite Sulfate Attack--TSA) to salt efflorescence, and physical disintegrations to mechanical performance reductions. He has also published multiple research papers in peer-reviewed journals with high citations and h-index. He obtained his Doctorate in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 2019, where he investigated the resilience of low-carbon concretes in aggressive sewage environments. He was also awarded the A.C. Kennett special award for the best paper on the corrosion or degradation of non-metallic materials at the Australasian Corrosion and Prevention Conference in 2018. He holds a Master's degree in Structural Engineering from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), where I graduated with the highest CGPA of 4.0 and a President's Gold Medal in 2015. He also holds a bachelor's degree with Honors in Civil Engineering, where he graduated with a CGPA of 3.90 / 4.0. He is currently doing Postdoctoral Research at the University of Sydney, where he is researching the development of sustainable fit-for-purpose concrete for sewer purposes. This project aligns with his passion for creating low-carbon and durable concrete structures that can withstand severely corrosive environments and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
