报告题目：
Concrete like all other building materials, made of earth, is for the people, and should be locally sourced from their own land. For a truly circular economy in the concrete industry, we must first define the loops, and then plan how to close them. In this talk, I will present genuine pathways for a sustainable future and show you that supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), although needed in the short term, are actually poisoning our building stock – causing more problems for future generations to solve.
We live in unfortunate times of wars and disasters; but through this talk (that I dedicate to the many lost innocent lives and homes), we will discuss hope, and perhaps give some consolation to those people whose homes have become rubble, that their loss may inspire, educate, and bring positive change to our world: enabling us to close the concrete loop.
For those coming to the talk, some homework! Please think before coming, 1) do we need monopolies in this industry? and 2) is “economies of scale” appropriate in a circular economy?

And for the formalities: Theo has 2 undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from the University of Balamand in Lebanon; then, he graduated from the University of Manchester (2012) with a Masters in Advanced Process Design and Integration and then from the University of Aberdeen (2016) with a PhD in Cement/Clinker Thermochemistry. Following, he began working at Sheffield (until March 2024), where he was promoted twice from postdoc to assistant professor and then associate professor. He is Vice President of the board of ISCOWA, and Associate Editor of the journals Advances in Cement Research and Materials Reports: Solidwaste and Ecomaterials.
期刊介绍
Low-carbon Materials and Green Construction （LMGC）是土木工程领域第一本交叉融合材料、建造、环境、能源四个相关学科的国际学术期刊，由同济大学肖绪文院士和美国Surendra P. Shah院士共同担任主编，同济大学肖建庄教授担任执行主编。LMGC在国家实施“双碳”目标、“一带一路”等重大战略背景下创办，以土木工程中的低碳材料和绿色建造为立足点，重点关注材料性能、结构性能和结构—环境共生中碳排放的时空动态演变，以及相关的碳减排和可持续性问题，引领土木工程领域低碳前沿发展。成功入选2022年度中国科技期刊卓越行动计划高起点新刊。2024年4月获批国内统一出版物号CN31-2203/TU。
