Profile
Education 🎓
Dr. AlBiajawi holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Structure and Materials) from Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah, Malaysia (2020–2024), where his research focused on the pozzolanic reaction of mechanically treated coal bottom ash in self-compacting concrete. He earned his Master of Science in Civil Engineering (Structural) from Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang (2018–2020), investigating the thermal performance of concrete incorporating latex gloves and silicon catheter wastes. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Philadelphia University, Amman, Jordan (2011–2016), where he built a strong foundation in structural analysis, material properties, and sustainable construction practices.
Professional Experience 🏗️
Dr. AlBiajawi has diverse professional experience in civil engineering, specializing in structural design and site supervision. He worked as a Site Engineer at ABDULLAH.M SARHAN & Sons Contracting in Jazan, Saudi Arabia (May 2017 – August 2018), where he oversaw highway construction projects, ensuring compliance with design specifications and project timelines. Prior to that, he served as a Structural Engineer at Anwar Alawi Consulting Engineers in Amman, Jordan (April 2016 – April 2017), developing structural designs, conducting load calculations, and collaborating with architects on material selection. He also gained hands-on experience as a Site Civil Engineer at Engineering Universe for Building & Construction in Amman, Jordan (August 2015 – November 2015), managing on-site civil works while ensuring adherence to plans, quality standards, and safety regulations.
Research Interests 🔬
Dr. AlBiajawi's research centers on sustainable construction materials, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of recycled industrial waste in concrete. His work contributes to advancing eco-friendly building practices by integrating waste-derived materials into cement-based composites.
Pozzolanic Materials and Cementitious Applications
He explores the physical and chemical properties of pozzolanic materials as supplementary cementitious components, evaluating their effects on the mechanical strength, durability, and long-term performance of concrete structures.
Environmental Sustainability in Construction
By optimizing the use of industrial by-products, his research aims to reduce cement dependency, lower carbon emissions, and enhance concrete properties, supporting the development of greener and more sustainable infrastructure solutions.
