PhD

Yoonjung Han joined the group as a PhD student in January 2020. She received an M.S. degree from Seoul National University of Science and Technology, where her research centered on the properties of fiber-reinforced concrete and light-transmitting concrete.  Afterward, she worked in a research center for two years, where she investigated lightweight concrete in addition to continuing her investigations of fiber-reinforced concrete and light-transmitting concrete.As a member of this research group, she is focused primarily on computational modeling and experimental analysis of microstructure development and properties of concrete binders.

Theresa McEnroe joined the group in 2023 during her final year of her undergraduate degree at Texas A&M. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering and is continuing in this field to pursue her PhD. She is currently researching the rheological properties of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) for applications to additive manufacturing. She is also working on the effects of synthetic and natural zeolites as an additive in cements. Terry has a strong interest in materials with extraterrestrial applications, has applied to NASA’s astronaut program, and hopes to pursue a career in space research.
