Abir Al-Tabbaa

Abir Al-Tabbaa is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cambridge, Department of Civil Engineering. Her research focuses on geotechnical and environmental engineering, including ground improvement, land remediation, and smart infrastructure materials. She leads several research initiatives, such as the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment, and the Resilient Materials for Life (RM4L) Programme Grant. Her work involves developing low carbon and self-healing materials, as well as exploring digitalisation and sustainability in infrastructure. She is also involved in the Digital Roads of the Future initiative, which integrates smart materials, digital twins, and data science to enhance road systems.

A. Al Tabbaa is a Professor at the University of Cambridge specializing in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, infrastructure materials, and low carbon materials. Their research focuses on sustainable construction materials, including self-healing concrete, alkali-activated cements, and the use of industrial by-products in cementitious systems. Al Tabbaa's work addresses environmental impacts, such as the remediation of contaminated soils and the development of greener alternatives to traditional cement. They also investigate the performance of materials under various conditions, including carbonation and crack sealing mechanisms. Their research contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of construction and improving the durability of infrastructure.
