Daman Panesar is a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto, specializing in concrete materials, construction, and structures. His research focuses on enhancing the properties of concrete through the integration of supplementary cementing materials, nano-reinforcements, and sustainable practices. He investigates the impact of materials like graphene oxide, silica fume, and fly ash on the mechanical, thermal, and transport properties of cement-based composites. His work also addresses environmental concerns, including life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and the development of low-carbon cementitious materials. Panesar's research emphasizes the role of carbonation and CO2 sequestration in reducing the environmental footprint of concrete.
