Dr. F. Pacheco Torgal is a Principal Investigator at the University of Minho in Portugal. He holds the title of Counsellor at the Portuguese Engineers Association. He is a member of the editorial boards for nine international journals. Over the last 10 years he has participated in the research decision for more than 460 papers and has also acted as a Foreign Expert on the evaluation of 22 PhD thesis. Over the last 10 years he has also been a Member of the Scientific Committees for more than 60 conferences, most of them held in Asian countries. He is also a grant assessor for several scientific institutions in 15 countries, including the UK, US, Netherlands, China, France, Australia, Kazakhstan, Belgium, Spain, Czech Republic, Chile, Saudi Arabia, UA. Emirates, Croatia, Poland, and the EU Commission. In the last 10 years, he reviewed more than 70 research projects. Caijun Shi is a professor of civil engineering at Hunan University, China. His research interests are in the design, properties and applications of HPC/UHPC; Performance enhancement of recycled concrete aggregates; Chemically activated cementitious materials and structural design; and CO2 Sequestration in concrete materials and related products. Angel Palomo is a professor at the Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja, CSIC, Spain. Dr. Palomo has been a research staff member at the IETcc since 1981 (Professor since 2009). He has vast experience in construction materials research, especially in cements and concretes, including manufacture, durability, and development of new binders and related materials. He has authored/co-authored more than 200 scientific or technical papers in high impact factor journals and has registered four patents for inventions associated with obtaining mineralized cement and alkaline binders. He has also participated in 70 research projects and research contracts and was the principal investigator in almost half of these.
