Ali Ghahremaninezhad

Ali Ghahremaninezhad is a Professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Miami's College of Engineering. His research focuses on sustainable cementitious materials, self-healing concrete, and green additives like hydrogels and biochar.

• Current research explores molecular-level interactions between surfactants and cement microstructure to enhance durability.
• Key areas include carbonation curing, freeze-thaw resistance, and organic coatings for marine carbonate minerals.

Recent publications highlight his work on using biochar for internal curing, hydrogels for crack repair, and triblock copolymers to reduce autogenous shrinkage. His studies integrate experimental methods (TGA, FTIR, SEM) and predictive modeling.

• Findings demonstrate improved mechanical strength and reduced water sorption in modified cement systems.
• Applications span marine carbon cycle understanding and sustainable construction practices.
