Dr. Luhar Salmabanu Ismailbhai is a Post-doctoral Researcher, and author of STEM field of Concrete Technology. She received an education of the school, diploma (state government polytechnic – Civil Engg.), B.Tech (Hon’s-Civil Engg.) and M.Tech (Hon’s-computer aided structural analysis and design). She obtained a Ph.D. degree certificate in Civil (Structure) engineering for the thesis topic related to novel low cost sustainable, user and eco-friendly green Geopolymer Concrete incorporating wastes. Also, she has been awarded a research project independently as Principal Investigator (PI) by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry Of Science And Technology, Government of India, under “WOMEN SCIENTIST” scheme on durability study of Geopolymer concrete containing wastes as replacement of natural fine aggregate. She is well-known for her number of article publications and authoring a world record holder first book on the subject as an Indian woman independent author published by a reputed European publisher from Germany in her field of expertise at the age of merely 31 years. Her core and active areas of research interest include green construction composites, viz., Geopolymer concrete and mortar, low cost novel building materials for affordable housing and infrastructures with low carbon footprint providing relief to global warming dilemma and best use of wastes that are responsible for fertile landfilling and health hazards through manufacturing green concrete, high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, etc., i.e., an integration of Material Science and Construction Engineering. Presently, she is keen to carry out advance post-doctoral researches as, most promising woman scientist cum inventor cum researcher, in her field of expertise, i.e., Concrete technology.
