The mission of RISE Infrastructure Materials Laboratory is to develop novel construction materials for next generation infrastructure that withstand deterioration related to extreme loading, environmental conditions, and multi-hazards. The general research topics include the following: 

​

• Multi-scale concrete material design, modeling, and characterization

• Alternative and supplementary cementitious materials with low carbon footprint 

• Multifunctional fiber-reinforced cementitious/ceramic composites for smart infrastructure systems

• Energy storage and large scale carbon sequestration

• Machine learning and additive manufacturing
