Kevin Paine is a Professor and Centre Director of the Centre for Climate Adaptation & Environment Research (CAER) at the University of Bath. He leads research in smart and innovative concrete technologies, including bacteria-based self-healing concrete, self-sensing concrete using graphene, electrically conductive concrete, and nanotechnology-enhanced concrete. His work addresses sustainable construction through recycled aggregates, low carbon cements, and geopolymers.
- University of Bath: Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering
Prof. Paine was the Bath PI for the £5m EPSRC Programme Grant 'Resilient Materials for Life (RM4L)' and its predecessor 'Materials for Life (M4L)', and led the EU FP7 'FIBCEM' project (2011-2014) on nanotechnology-enhanced cement. He has received funding from BBSRC, NERC, Royal Academy of Engineering, British Council, and industry partnerships.
His recent research outputs focus on sustainable materials such as biomass fly ash-based geopolymers and microbially induced calcite formation. He serves on program committees for international conferences on sustainable materials and self-healing materials, and has contributed to media discussions on reducing concrete’s climate impact.
- Fellow of the Institute of Concrete Technology (FICT)
- Chartered Engineer (CEng MICE)
Prof. Paine supervises doctoral students and collaborates with researchers like Emma Denham, Isabel Justo Reinoso, and Susanne Gebhard. His work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly climate action and sustainable cities.
