Karyne Ferreira dos Santos
Karyne Ferreira dos Santos holds a Ph.D. (2021), a Master's degree (2016), and a degree in Civil Engineering (2013), emphasizing sustainable materials engineering and civil construction components. She was awarded a scholarship for her Ph.D. at the University of Brasília UnB, Brazil, where she spent two years at the National Civil Engineering Laboratory - LNEC, Portugal. Her Master's in Civil Engineering was done at COPPE, Latin America's largest center for research and education in engineering at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro UFRJ, Brazil. Her research focuses on special concrete, such as 3D printed concrete, self-healing concrete, high-strength concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and refractory concrete. Additionally, she studies different types of cement, such as those with lower CO2 emissions. She is an active member of RILEM Technical Committees, PFC ( Performance requirements and testing of fresh printable cement-based materials) and 282-CCL (Calcined Clays as Supplementary Cementitious Materials), and a former member of the 261-CCF (Creep behavior in Cracked Sections of Fiber Reinforced Concrete) and SARCOS (Self-healing As prevention Repair of Concrete Structures). Also, she was a Substitute Professor at UFRJ, Brazil.
