Smart and Green Infrastructure Group

The Smart and Green Infrastructure (SGI) research group at Washington State University consists of a multidisciplinary team with expertise in the following fields:

1. Construction of smart cities and sustainable built environments: e.g., multifunctional coatings and admixtures, recycling and valorization of industrial byproducts and agro-wastes, permeable pavements, and nanotechnology for civil infrastructures
2. Materials science for circular economy, for historically underserved communities, and for decarbonization, construction, preservation and resilience of infrastructure
3. Durable and smart infrastructure, e.g., multi-scale engineering and characterization, corrosion protection, preservation and rehabilitation techniques, self-healing concrete, coatings, and functional layers
