Overview

I am a geologist specialized in geomaterials characterization, namely in cementitious materials. My main research intererests focus on concrete mineralogy, the interaction of this material with the marine environment and also the deleterious reactions that can affect concrete.

I am also interested in mineralogical studies related to mineral processing.
