On 10/18/2023, Dr. Ma gave a presentation entitled “Eco-Efficient and Carbon-Negative Supplementary Cementitious Materials Derived from Solid Wastes” for National Ready-Mixed Concrete Association’s Concrete Innovations Seminar series, Session 16: Carbon Reduction Strategies. Dr. Ma showcased FuCCI innovations of alkali aluminosilicate solid wastes (e.g., off-spec coal ashes, waste-to-energy residues, steel slag, etc.) derived alternative supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) which can substitute more than 20% of cement, carbon-negative SCMs that can substitute more than 50% of cement without compromising concrete performance, as well as data science and AI tools to address challenges related to feedstock complexity.
