Biography

Gilson R. Lomboy, D.Eng., Ph.D., is an assistant professor at the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rowan University. Dr. Lomboy specializes in cement-based materials, focusing on hydration, rheology, durability, sustainable materials, nano-modification and characterization. Dr. Lomboy studies and develops ultra-high-performance concrete. In a project on durability, concrete permeability was reduced to determine the required permeability and strength such that air entrainment is no longer needed for resistance to cyclic freezing and thawing. Another research was the development of antifreeze concrete that can be cast and cured at freezing temperature and studying its mechanical properties. Dr. Lomboy has also been conducting research on crushed concrete coarse aggregates (CCCA), measuring the mechanical and durability properties of concrete made with CCCA, and developing design procedures with CCCA.
