Event: First International Workshop on Cement Clinkers
Venue: Wuhan, China
Date: 14 May 2019
Organizer: Wuhan University of Technology and Hubei Ceramic Society
About:
The objective of this workshop is to bring together a group of specialists to gather experience and to identify research areas which would lead to progress in predictability of clinker performance.
With Prof Karen Scrivener, Professor at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
About Prof. Karen Scrivener:
She is Head of Laboratory of Construction Materials at EPFL and she was appointed as the Strategic Scientist of Wuhan University of Technology in 2018.
