My res earch interest focuses on durability of reinforced concrete and concrete structures. Investigations on preventive measures include studies on the effectiveness of water repellent treatment of cement-based materials as chloride barrier. Chloride penetration into concrete exposed to sea water is studied experimentally and simulated. Emphasis is laid on durability under combined mechanical and environmental loads. Strain hardening cement-based materials (SHCC) are being optimised and the potential of their application for repair and more durable structures is investigated.

I also like to play piano, skiing and hiking. In addition I am hobby vintager.
