Hobbies: Swimming, Diving, Computer and Reading historical books

Career Plans:

• Choosing the safer and friendly-environment construction and repair materials.

• Advising the construction industry to use one appropriate cement type only in the same structure to reduce corrosion risk occurred by using two different cement types.

• Adopting the reduction of Co₂ gas and the other harmful materials by reduction of Ordinary Portland Cements production and using alternative concrete mixes.

• These blended concretes will be applied by materials replacements e.g. local natural volcanic Pozzolan, or other industrial waste products such as Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) or Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA). Study their implementation on the durability of reinforced concrete structures by reducing corrosion of reinforcing steel.

• Selecting the appropriate corrosion control and corrosion management for preventing materials degradation for the sever environments i.e. marine environment.

• Applying a non-destructive testing of concrete and monitoring corrosion potentials, polarization resistance and currents for different metals.

• Adopting latest technologies for concrete repair materials and structures restoration by using corrosion inhibitors, cathodic protection and/or coating.
