Blessing Adeleke

Blessing Adeleke is a Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of South Wales, affiliated with the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science. Her research focuses on sustainable construction materials, geopolymer concrete, low-carbon infrastructure, and soil stabilization. She holds a prominent role in advancing eco-friendly solutions for civil engineering challenges.

Her work emphasizes the utilization of recycled waste materials (plastics, industrial by-products) in concrete production and explores innovative methods to reduce the carbon footprint of construction practices. Key areas include geopolymer chemistry, thermal performance of building systems, and soil stabilization techniques for road construction.

Recent publications highlight advancements in low-carbon permeable pavements, mechanical properties of recycled-aggregate concrete, and the optimization of MgO-GGBS cementitious systems using thermo-chemical approaches. Her research bridges material science and environmental sustainability, addressing global challenges in infrastructure development.

• Publications span 2019–2025, focusing on geopolymer concrete, recycled materials, and sustainable engineering solutions.
• Active in both academic and applied research, with a focus on practical implementation of low-carbon technologies.
