João Castro-Gomes is full Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture ofUniversityofBeiraInterior(UBI).
HeconcludedhisDoctorofPhilosophyDegree(PhD)onMathematicalmodelsforassessingcementhydration and microstructure of cement pastes, on 1997 at University of Leeds (UK) and joinedafterwardstheDepartmentofCivilEngineeringatUBI.Sincethenhewasparticularlyinvolvedintheinstallation of different research laboratories for materials and construction technology at UBI,namelythelaboratoryofdurabilityofmaterials.Hewasalsoresponsiblefortheimplementationofthe first Master Course and the first Erasmus program and the establishment of first DoctoralProgramofstudiesinCivilEngineeringatUBI.
Duringhisscientificactivity,hasbeeninvolvedandcoordinatedseveralresearchprojectsgrantedbyhighlycompetitiveNationalandEuropeanResearchCalls,someoftheminvolvingSMEsandindustry(e.g. GEOGREEN –Waste geopolymeric binder-based natural vegetated panels for energy-efficientbuilding green roofs and facades. Period: 2011-2013. FCT grant. UBI funding: EUR 152.832,00;SELICON-Servicelifedesign:modellingthedurabilityperformanceofConcrete.Period:2008-2011.FCT grant. UBI funding: EUR 31.900,00; VALREMIN – Valorisation of mining wastes. Period 2006-2008. ADI grant. UBI funding: 49.300,00; REEQ – FCT scientific re-equipment: Study of newconstructionsystems,concretecompositionandbituminousmixes,withincorporatingmaterials,forbetter performance and durability on climates with high thermal amplitudes. Period: 2006. FCTgrant.UBIfunding:EUR375.000,00;AGREDUR- Influenceofphysicalpropertiesandmorphologicalparameters of granite and calcareous aggregates on the durability of concrete. Period 2000-2004.FCTgrant.UBIfunding:EUR25.000,00).
Between 2008 and 2014 João Castro Gomes was scientific coordinator of C-MADE Centre ofMaterials andBuildingTechnologiesR&Dunit atUBIhavingbeen responsible for its foundation in2007(https://cmadeubi.wordpress.com).
Currently (2015-2018) he is coordinating “REMINE- Reuse of Mining Waste into InnovativeGeopolymeric-basedStructuralPanels,Precast,ReadyMixesandInsituApplications”,grantedbytheEuropean Commission under Horizon 2020 MARIE Skłodowska-CURIE Actions, Research andInnovationStaffExchange (RISE),withprojectN.645696,projectvalueofEUR567.000,00andUBIfundingEUR108.000,00(https://reminemsca.wordpress.com).
