Paulo T Cunha

Paulo T Cunha serves as Professor in the Department of Business Sciences at University of Maia (Portugal) since June 2021. His academic foundation includes a Physics degree from Universidade do Porto's Faculty of Sciences (1985-1990), establishing strong theoretical grounding for his engineering research career.

Professor Cunha's research centers on concrete corrosion monitoring systems and sustainable engineering applications, with recent expansion into circular economy implementation. His work bridges fundamental materials science (e.g., electrochemical corrosion behavior in fly ash concrete) with practical infrastructure solutions (e.g., Monicorr monitoring system validation). The 2022-2021 publications demonstrate strategic pivot toward sustainability, analyzing circular economy adoption in Iberian companies and developing campus emissions offsetting frameworks.

His publication record reveals consistent research activity since 2002 across multiple domains:

• Structural Engineering: Corrosion monitoring for railway infrastructure (2009), expansion joint detection systems (2013)
• Environmental Engineering: Wastewater treatment plant corrosion (2005), CO2 emissions reduction (2021)
• Materials Science: Accelerated degradation testing (2004), chloride/carbonate corrosion mechanisms (2002, 2017)

Professor Cunha maintains active international collaborations, particularly with Brazilian institutions (evident in 2014 conference papers), and publishes in high-impact sustainability journals. His research methodology emphasizes practical case studies and field validation, translating laboratory findings into infrastructure management solutions.
