Ghizlane Moutaoukil | Sustainable construction materials | Eco-friendly Construction Practices Award

Published on by Civil Engineering Awards

Dr. Ghizlane Moutaoukil | Sustainable construction materials | Eco-friendly Construction Practices Award

Postdoctoral researcher | Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM) | Spain

Dr. Ghizlane Moutaoukil is a distinguished researcher in materials chemistry and environmental science, specializing in the synthesis, characterization, and thermomechanical evaluation of sustainable construction materials. With a PhD jointly earned from Mohammed V University in Rabat and the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid, the research focuses on the development of dense and porous geopolymers derived from industrial waste. Extensive investigations cover the optimization of mechanical and microstructural properties of fly ash-based geopolymers, thermomechanical behavior, foaming processes, and the integration of radiative cooling functions in cementitious composites. As a postdoctoral researcher at the Centro de Fisica de Materiales (CSIC/UPV-EHU), Moutaoukil continues advancing sustainable materials for environmental and energy applications. The impressive publication record in journals such as Materials Letters, Advanced Science, and Construction and Building Materials reflects deep expertise in MAS NMR, FTIR, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. Patents and collaborative works, notably the “Modern Roman-Inspired Concrete with Daytime Radiative Cooling Capacity,” demonstrate innovative thinking bridging chemistry and civil engineering. Research also includes the mechanosynthesis of phosphate mine waste-based geopolymers and geochemical applications for pollution control. Proficiency in Arabic, French, English, and Spanish strengthens global collaboration capacity. Technical mastery extends to process engineering, corrosion studies, and rheological analysis, with strong computational and statistical design skills. Active participation in international conferences from Morocco to Spain and Turkey underscores commitment to interdisciplinary scientific exchange. Ghizlane Moutaoukil’s contributions—166 citations, 12 publications, and an h-index of 6—reflect consistent research excellence and growing global recognition, making Ghizlane Moutaoukil a promising leader in sustainable materials and environmental innovation.
