Irina Kirchberger

Irina Kirchberger, M.Sc., is a researcher at the Chair of Mineralogy at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), part of the GeoCenter Northern Bavaria. Her work focuses on the reactivity of calcium aluminate and calcium sulfoaluminate phases in cement systems, particularly the influence of additives like triethanolamine and tartaric acid on hydration processes. She is actively involved in publications related to cement chemistry and concrete durability, with recent studies on ettringite stability in blended systems.

Her research is published in journals such as Cement and Concrete Research, and she collaborates with colleagues including Prof. Dr. Friedlinde Götz-Neunhoeffer and Prof. Dr. Jürgen Neubauer. Contact details include her email: irina.kirchberger@fau.de.
