Graduation of My First MSc Student

I am excited to share that my first MSc student at Idaho State University successfully defended his thesis today! It has been a joy to support him on this journey, and I couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations, Pawan Bhattarai!

Stay tuned for the publication of his paper, in which he experimentally investigated the stress-strain response of confined green concrete with precipitated calcium carbonate and upcycled concrete aggregate and proposed a novel stress-strain constitutive model. A special thank you to Prof. Mustafa Mashal for his invaluable guidance as a primary supervisor.
