Nanocharacterization of Cementitious Composites

Wengui Li is Scientia Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia. He earned a joint doctoral degree from Tongji University and Northwestern University in 2013. From 2010 to 2013, he was Predoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Advanced Cement-Based Materials (ACBM) at Northwestern University, USA. With expertise in linking the material properties of concrete to structural responses across multiple scales, he founded the “Intelligent Concrete and Infrastructure Materials” (ICIM) research group within the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Safety (CIES) at UNSW.Hanbing Zhao received his Ph.D. from University of Technology Sydney in 2024, and he currently works at the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Safety (CIES) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia. His research interests cover sustainable construction materials, nanocharacterization, and nanomodification.Kejin Wang is currently Willison Engineering Professor at Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering in Iowa State University (ISU). She received her Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley, USA, in 1994. After her Ph.D. graduation, she joined the NSF Center for Advanced Cement-Based Building Materials (ACBM) at Northwestern University, Illinois, USA, as Research Fellow and then Director of the educational program.
