He Zhou

He Zhou is a Doctor of Philosophy student and casual teaching staff member in the School of Engineering at The University of Western Australia. His research focuses on life cycle assessment and the recycling of mineral processing by-products, contributing to sustainable development in mining and construction industries.

His educational qualifications are:

• Master of Civil Engineering, The University of Western Australia, 2020
• Master of Geotechnical Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, 2021

He specializes in life cycle assessment of industrial by-product recycling, particularly copper slag, lithium-ion battery materials, and polyurethane waste. His work integrates geotechnical engineering principles to evaluate recycled materials in construction applications, supporting circular economy goals and UN Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 12 through sustainable resource management and infrastructure innovation.

His 2024-2025 publications reveal a strong focus on applying life cycle assessment to mining and construction waste streams, including copper slag utilization in mine backfill, battery by-product recycling, and offshore polyurethane recovery. His research combines experimental validation with multiscale simulation techniques to address particle breakage mechanics in geotechnical materials.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

As a PhD candidate, He Zhou does not supervise students. His peer review activity for Sustainable Materials and Technologies journal (2023-2024) represents his primary academic service contribution, with no grant funding details disclosed.
