Advance Upcycling of By-products in Binder and Binder-Based Materials

Mehmet Serkan Kırgız is currently a professor at the Trakya University, Turkey. He was previously a professor at the Gazi and Hacettepe Universities, both in Turkey. He has served as Vice Dean, Member of Faculty Management Board, Member of Department Management Board at these institutions. He has authored several peer-reviewed articles and has a national patent on cement manufacturing through the burning of marble powder and brick powder as farina. His major research interests include Ecology based Construction Materials, and Minerals of Raw and By-Product, and upcycling of by-product for sustainable development.
