I lead the Construction Materials Research Group at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, where my team and I are on a mission to reimagine concrete. We take materials the industry considers waste and turn them into eco-friendly, high-performance construction solutions. It&#8217;s deeply rewarding work: combining rigorous science with real-world impact, mentoring the next generation of engineers, and knowing that every innovation brings us closer to a more sustainable built environment.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/people.utm.my\/norhasanah\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/675\/2025\/12\/CV-HASANAH-DEC-2025.pdf&#8221;
