New lecture of the Academy of Digital Technologies and Entrepreneurship GISU 2024

We are pleased to invite you to the next lecture of the Academy of Digital Technologies and Entrepreneurship programme, which will be held on Tuesday, 26 March, from 15:00 to 17:00 (Beijing time).

The topic of the lecture is ” Innovative Technologies for High-Grade Recycled Concrete Production from Construction and Demolition Waste.” The lecture will be delivered by Emeritus Professor Vivian W.Y. Tam from the University of Western Sydney.

Access to Zoom meetings will be provided to registered participants on the eve of the lecture.

The following is the program description and faculty member biography:

 Construction and demolition waste is one of the largest contributors to landfills. Unfortunately, the utilization of construction and demolition waste as recycled aggregate in concrete is not common. This presentation will present how CO2 Concrete is invented by injecting CO2 into recycled aggregate for concrete applications. The overall performance of CO2 Concrete has matching performance as virgin concrete. The enhancement of CO2 Concrete alongside the consistency that the material can display provides a great deal of future value.

This program will be presented by Distinguished Professor Vivian W. Y. Tam who is a world-leading researcher in the field of construction engineering and management. Her findings have found applications and impact for tackling climate-change issues for green buildings and recycled concrete. She is currently the Director of Centre for Infrastructure Engineering, Associate Dean (Research and HDR), Associate Dean (International) and Discipline Leader (Construction Management) at School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Western Sydney University, Australia. She was nominated to the College of Expert, Australian Research Council, Australian Government in 2018-2021. She is currently the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Construction Management and Senior Editor of Construction and Building Materials. She has published over 330 referred journal articles. She has been awarded fifty-three research grants (totaled over $5 million). Her work has been recognized by peers nationally and internationally, which has been exemplified by seven Australian Research Council projects and over 28,000 citations with a h-index of 88. Professor Tam is also named as 100,000 Top-Scientists (Top 2% Scientists) in the World since 2017.
