ATOLO TUINUKUAFE
Current PhD student who is working with Alkali-Activated Materials (AAM) and is developing multi-scale analytical techniques to quantify their microstructure. He is making full use of the Local Electrode Atomic Probe (5000 XS) we have available through the Central Analytical Facility (CAF). The video above highlights the nano-clusters of potassium in an alkali-activated fly ash revealed through atom probe tomography. He has several conference proceedings as well as the following peer-reviewed journal publications:
  • ​Characterization of Concrete Affected by Delayed Ettringite Formation Using the Stiffness Damage Test
  • Atom Probe Tomography of an Alkali Activated Fly Ash Concrete

OLUGBENRO OGUNRINDE
Current PhD student working on construction and geotechnical projects. The construction project involves analyzing and statistically comparing the effects of daytime and nighttime paving operations on the quality of construction. Another project examining the base and subbase characteristics for the South Carolina DOT is also underway. He is making full use of the Geotechnical and Materials Testing Laboratories on campus.
