Name Ms. Lin Ying      
Designation Ph.D. student
Department Department of Civil Engineering
Email linyingstudy66@gmail.com
Research Topic   I focus on studying the supplementary cementing materials 
on concrete and mortar in construction and infrastructure, 
such as fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), and ground granulated 
blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), etc. My research aims to solve 
the environmental problem in producing cement by reducing 
carbon dioxide emission and developing sustainable high 
strength and durability concrete and mortar.
