Personal profile
Research interests
Prof. Paine is Director of the Centre for Climate Adaptation and Environment Research.
His research focuses on the development of smart and innovative concrete technology. Some of his current research includes:
- bacteria-based self-healing concrete,
- self-sensing concrete using graphene and other sensors,
- electrically conductive concrete, and
- nanotechnology enhanced concrete.
He also carries out research in recycled aggregates, low carbon cements and geopolymers.
He was the Bath PI on the £5m EPSRC Programme Grant on “Resilient Materials for Life (RM4L)” (www.rm4l.com) and he was the Bath PI on its predecessor Materials for Life (M4L)”. From 2011 to 2014 he led Bath’s involvement in the EU funded FP7 research “FIBCEM” to develop nanotechnology enhanced extruded fibre reinforced foam cement (www.fibcem.com).
He has also received funding from other sources including: BBSRC, NERC, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the British Council, Government departments, WRAP, and industry.
He is a Fellow of the Institute of Concrete Technology (FICT) and a chartered engineer through the Institution of Civil Engineers (CEng MICE).
