    Research Interests

    Hussameldin research is interested in cementitious material durability, early hydration kinetics and smart cementitious materials for self-healing and self-sensing. His research interests extend to include non-destructive testing techniques and structural health monitoring methods for cementitious structures using advanced characterization techniques such as: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Electromechanical impedance (EMI), Active piezoceramic sensing. Hussameldin also interested in geopolymers and low carbon cementitious mixes for pavement
