These include alkali-activated binders, alternative supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and high-performance fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (UHPC and ECC). We are also committed to assessing the behaviour of structural concrete elements in shear and studying design and assessment methods for strengthening concrete structures.<\/p>\n<p>The research group is led by Dr. Teo Wee, an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering at the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure, and Society (EGIS) at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia (HWUM) since August 2016. Prior to joining HWUM, Dr. Teo was a Senior Lecturer at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. He holds a Ph.D. and a B.Eng. in Civil Engineering with First Class Honours from The Queen&#8217;s University of Belfast, UK. He is a corporate member of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (MIEM), the Institute of Concrete Technology UK (MICT) and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science &amp; Technology UK (MIMarEST). He is also a registered Professional Engineer (PE) with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and a Chartered Engineer (CEng) with the Engineering Council UK.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in joining our team or would like to discuss a research area in more detail, please contact Dr. Teo Wee at t.wee@hw.ac.uk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sustainable Concrete Research Group (SCRG) is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of concrete infrastructure by focusing on low-carbon and energy-efficient materials.
