Personal profile
Research interests
Andrew Heath's research interests are sustainable construction materials, including earth construction, low carbon concretes (especially geopolymer concrete) and self-healing concretes. Additional research is on physical and chemical testing and modelling of soils and geopolymers, landslide assessment and transportation infrastructure engineering. He is currently the Director of the Centre for Infrastructure, Geotechnical and Water Engineering research.
Willing to supervise doctoral students
He is willing to supervise PhD students in the fields of sustainable transportation and transport infrastucture, sustainable construction materials, in particular earth based materials, geopolymers and self-healing concrete, as well as modelling earth materials in infrastructure, landslide, building and foundation applications.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
