Shishir Mundra

Dr. Shishir Mundra is a Researcher affiliated with the Professorship for Durability of Engineering Materials at ETH Zürich's Institut für Baustoffe (IfB). His work focuses on corrosion mechanisms in cementitious materials, particularly steel-concrete interfaces. He employs advanced analytical techniques like microscale chemical imaging, X-ray computed tomography, and electrochemical methods to study material degradation processes.

Key research themes include carbonation-induced corrosion, chloride binding in alkali-activated materials, and redox interactions in aqueous systems. His studies bridge fundamental material science with practical applications in infrastructure durability, emphasizing sustainable concrete solutions and environmental interactions.

Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, integrating chemistry, civil engineering, and materials science to address challenges in corrosion protection and material longevity. Collaborations with RILEM TC committees underscore his engagement in standard-setting research for construction materials.
