Maria Konsta Gdoutos

Dr. Maria Konsta Gdoutos is a Professor of Civil Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington. She serves as the co-founder and Associate Director of the Center for Advanced Construction Materials (CACM), a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary center advancing smart materials for infrastructure. Her research focuses on sustainable concrete, nanotechnology, and multifunctional cement-based composites, with emphasis on CO2 sequestration, renewable energy integration, and infrastructure durability.

• Affiliations: CACM Director, ACI 241 Committee Chair, RILEM Technical Committee member, and Associate Editor of Cement and Concrete Composites.
• Leadership: UTC Director of the $10M DuRe-Transp Center, NSF PIRE grant recipient, and recipient of international awards including Fellowships from European and Russian Academies.

Research interests span advanced nanocomposites, smart concrete for real-time monitoring, and eco-efficient materials. Her work addresses societal needs through nanotechnology-enabled solutions for construction sustainability and resilience. Over 150 peer-reviewed publications and patents on CNT-reinforced concrete and smart materials highlight her contributions.

Grants include NSF PIRE (#2230747) for CO2 sequestration and a DOT Tier 1 UTC. Awards include Empirikion (2017) and Fulbright (2005). She advises multiple PhD and MS students, leading projects on carbon-negative concrete and waste material utilization.

Labs/Teams: CACM, where interdisciplinary teams develop nanoengineered materials for infrastructure. Current projects include thermoelectric concrete for anti-icing and additive manufacturing of cementitious materials.
