Research Focus

The deterioration of concrete and metallic structures presents a significant challenge for global infrastructure. Climate change is expected to cause more extreme events, and the increasing use of low-carbon sustainable materials also introduces difficulties in applying existing standards. My research addresses these issues by developing integrated computational modelling and innovative field-sensing technologies to accurately predict deterioration processes.

My current work focuses on highly aggressive environments—such as potash mining, which presents unique thermal and chemical challenges, particularly in Saskatchewan. I study electrochemical processes of metals in solutions and porous media relevant to mining, with emphasis on corrosion mitigation, material selection, and numerical modelling.

Ultimately, my work aims to extend the service life of critical infrastructures and guide the implementation of adaptive, proactive maintenance strategies that align with evolving sustainability standards.
