Jorge de Brito is a Full Professor at the Civil Engineering, Architecture and Georesources Department of Instituto Superior Tecnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. He was also the Head of the ICIST Research Unit in two consecutive terms between 2009 and 2012. One of his main research fields is the use of recycled aggregates in mortar and concrete production, within the Sustainable Construction general framework. He has co-authored several book chapters, around 40 ISI papers and many other publications on this specific field. His supervision experience comprises several Post-Doc scholarships, around 25 PhD's and more than a 100 Masters. He has participated in 15 research programs (4 international), two of which as Principal investigator concerning the use of recycled aggregates in concrete. He is a member of the following international scientific commissions: W80 (CIB) / 100-TSL (RILEM); W86 (CIB); W115 (CIB). He is a frequent contributor to international journals both as an author (with 100 plus published papers) and as a reviewer (in 50 different journals). Dr. Nabajyoti Saikia is working at Kaziranga University, Jorhat, (India). He obtained a Ph. D. degree in chemistry (material science) from Dibrugarh University (India) in 2003. His research interest includes the solid waste management, chemistry of cement and allied materials, environmental chemistry and concrete science. He has published more than 50 numbers of research articles in various refereed journals, conference proceedings and in book as a book-chapter.
