1. CO2 Negative cement• Alternate binders to reduce CO2 emissions in clinker production.• Sequester CO2 via direct air capture and their application in mortar.• Product testing through XRF, XRD (Rietveld quantification), compressive strength.• Manage the purchase of analytical equipment from external vendors (FLUXANA, MA test, Carbolite Gero, Rigaku).• Maintenance of XRF and XRD.• Project management and supervision of interns (Bachelor & master thesis).2. Steel Recycling• Development of XRF method to quantify metals (Ni, Mo, Fe) from scrap/landfill.• Optimizing binders (organic, inorganic) for steel briquettes.3. Direct Air Capture (DAC)• Analysis of the raw material and product by XRF and XRD.• Testing compatibility and strength of DAC material in cement mortar.
