Dr Musa Aliyu

Musa is a Research Associate in the Department of Civil & Structural Engineering at the University of Sheffield, where he specialize in the fascinating field of multi-physics models for concrete and porous media. His primary ambition is to pioneer a comprehensive thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) model, an innovative endeavor aimed at unravelling the complex behaviour of porous materials such as concrete. His work not only challenges the conventional boundaries of engineering but also promises significant advancements in our understanding of material sciences.

His academic journey has been enriched by a spectrum of prestigious roles across the globe. He has previously served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, focusing on ground breaking research in geothermal energy and energy storage. His career also includes significant tenures at the University of Auckland, the University of Cambridge, and the Alan Turing Institute, where he developed intricate numerical models to analyse the impact of urbanization on ground temperature changes. At the University of Leeds and the University of Greenwich, he further extended his research to encompass sustainable development, contributing to vital projects in waste management and environmental science. Each of these experiences has not only honed his expertise but also deepened his commitment to leveraging engineering and technology for environmental sustainability
