Konstantin Sobolev

Konstantin Sobolev is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's College of Engineering & Applied Science, holding the Lawrence E. Sivak '71 Faculty Fellowship in Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on nanotechnology applications in construction materials, superhydrophobic surfaces, and sustainable composites.

Key research areas include:

• Development of nano-engineered superhydrophobic concrete
• Photocatalytic coatings for environmental applications
• Ultra-high-performance cement-based composites
• Computational modeling of particle packing

Recent publications demonstrate innovations in nano-modified construction materials, with applications ranging from self-cleaning surfaces to high-strength composites. Sobolev has led numerous projects on sustainable infrastructure materials, including NSF-funded initiatives on nanotechnology in construction. His work has resulted in advanced materials with improved durability and functionality.

Professor Sobolev serves on editorial boards including Scientific Reports and has co-authored influential reviews on nanotechnology in concrete. He collaborates internationally on sustainable material development and functional surface engineering.
