Dr. Sara Hassi is a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Civil Engineering Department of Fuzhou University in China, where she is currently studying the effectiveness of super absorbent polymer agents for the self-healing of reinforced Ultra-High performance concrete (UHPC) under varying environmental conditions. Her primary research interests evolves around non-destructive techniques for assessing the durability of cementitious materials, such as the corrosion of reinforcing steel and bonding resistance of concrete structures.
