Biography
Dr. Carlos Moro earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of A Coruna, Spain. After that, he worked in a consulting engineering company (specialized in building bridges and other big structures) for 2 years. In 2018, he started his Ph.D. at Purdue University, focusing on concrete and other cementitious materials. After completing his Ph.D. studies, he joined the Department of Engineering Technology (Concrete Industry Management program) in January 2022. His research focuses on studying new approaches to creating sustainable multifunctional concrete and other cementitious composites. The research highlights the importance of adopting a holistic approach in terms of its life cycle assessment, with three main pillars that should be considered to move towards a zero-impact sustainable concrete: (i) the composite performance, (ii) the impact during production (impact of materials used and potential valorization of wastes), and (iii) the effects during the service life (such as photocatalytic and self-cleaning effect and CO2 uptake).
