GEMS Thermodynamic Modeling of Cementitious & Alkali-Activated Materials (Carbonation)

Job ID: 40075320

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I currently have a materials thermodynamics modeling project and am looking for a professional with relevant experience to participate.

--------------------------------------------------
Project Overview

Based on GEMS, the project focuses on blended cementitious materials under CO₂ exposure, including:

• Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations
• Phase stability analysis
• Phase region (phase field) identification
• Carbonation reaction pathway modeling

--------------------------------------------------
Project Timeline

The project is planned to be completed by December 27, 2025.

--------------------------------------------------
Candidates with the following backgrounds are especially welcome (but not limited to):

1. Research background in Cement / Construction Materials

Cement Chemistry
Cementitious Materials
Alkali-Activated Materials (AAM)
Blended binders / SCMs

Familiar with:
• Phase assemblage
• Phase stability
• Carbonation pathways
• GEMS / CemGEMS

With relevant experience in:
• Cement hydration and/or carbonation studies
• Systems involving fly ash, slag, coal gangue, or calcined clays
• Phase assemblage, phase evolution, and phase diagram analysis

--------------------------------------------------
2. Thermodynamic modeling of AAM / Geopolymers

Alkali-activated materials
Geopolymer thermodynamics
Carbonation of AAM

Familiar with:
• Na₂O–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–CaO systems
• Carbonation-induced changes in C-(A)-S-H / N-A-S-H
• Practical modeling experience with AAM + GEMS
