معرفی
Kareem Abushama is a Researcher at the University of Bath affiliated with the Centre for Climate Adaptation & Environment Research (CAER) and Centre for Regenerative Design & Engineering for a Net Positive World (RENEW). His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through sustainable engineering research.
His research focuses on embodied carbon optimization in geotechnical systems, particularly pile foundations. Key specialties include:
- Concrete, steel, and timber pile design with carbon footprint reduction
- Deep foundation systems for sustainable construction
- Hybrid genetic algorithms for structural optimization
- Construction cost analysis integrated with environmental impact
His 12 research outputs since 2024 demonstrate strong trends in embodied carbon minimization across pile foundation systems, with particular emphasis on material comparisons (concrete vs. steel vs. timber) and geometric optimization. His work bridges computational methods with practical geotechnical applications.
Award highlights:
- Best presentation award (2023)
He actively contributes to major research initiatives including the EPSRC IAA - Pile Optimisation project (2025) as Researcher CoI, collaborating with Prof. Tim Ibell and Dr. William Hawkins. His conference participation includes the XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (2024).
