Talk Title: Microstructure-Informed Prediction of Transport Properties in Hydrated Cement Paste
Dr. Justin Kinda is a specialist in geochemical and thermodynamic modeling of cementitious materials, with expertise in advanced computational techniques such as analytical homogenization and machine learning-based multiobjective inverse design. He has pioneered methodologies combining Digital Image Correlation (DIC) with environmental microscopy. As a postdoctoral researcher at Université Paris-Saclay and the University of Luxembourg, he led interdisciplinary projects including AI-powered multiscale solvers, sustainable concrete optimization, and open-source transport modeling in porous media. He has published multiple peer-reviewed papers and received several fellowships and awards, driven by a passion for research in nuclear waste safety and sustainable energy solutions.
