Dr. Ning Li
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Ning Li has recently joined the Cement Science Group as a Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Fellow, funded by the European Research Executive Agency (REA).
Over the next two years, Dr. Ning will work on his beneficiary project Syn4WCO2-Cem under the supervision of Prof. M. A. Aranda. The project aligns closely with the European Green Deal, aiming to advance a circular economy within the construction sector.
The core objective of Syn4WCO2-Cem is to treat recycled concrete powder (RCP) through CO₂ capture from cement plant flue gases and to develop low-carbon cement composites using carbonated RCP (CRCP). The research will leverage advanced X-ray characterization techniques, including laboratory-based and synchrotron-based in situ X-ray imaging and diffraction, enabling direct observation and quantitative analysis of hydration processes in this emerging family of sustainable cements.
As part of this work, Dr. Ning will collaborate closely with CemSciG-UMA, particularly with researchers involved in the ERC Advanced Grant Syn4Cem and the EIC Pathfinder Horizon Europe project X-SeeO2.
The GCCA - Global Cement and Concrete Association awarded syn4cem postdoc Shiva the Innovandi Nanocem PhD prize. Shiva won with her thesis ‘Advanced quantitative synchrotron x-ray imaging of cement micro- and meso-structures.’ She brings this ground-breaking expertise to syn4cem.
Behind the Science interview with Miguel explaining the motivation and passion for this project - how syn4cem came to be.
Get Behind the Science with Professor Miguel Angel García Aranda to learn what it takes to develop low-carbon cement. As Professor of Chemistry at the University of Malaga, Miguel and his team take on the challenge to keep improving cements and concretes to be able to eventually bring it to the market and contribute to a more sustainable future.
