Academic discipline
Civil Engineering- Materials and structural Engineering
Short Bio:
Dr. Eskinder Desta Shumuye holds a PhD from Zhengzhou University and an MSc from Addis Ababa University (5-Kilo). A postdoctoral researcher at Shenzhen University (2021-2023) and currently a research associate at the Shenzhen University Institute for Advanced Studies. Prior to this, he served for over five years as a faculty member in Water Engineering at Hawassa University Institute of Technology (HUiOT) in Ethiopia and gained practical experience as a Site Engineer with MIDROC Ethiopia.
He specializes in the development and analysis of innovative concrete types, including fire-resistant concrete, geopolymer concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, high-strength concrete, and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), with a particular focus on utilizing waste materials. His research also encompasses the service life and performance predictions of reinforced concrete structures, and he employs Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance project planning and water distribution modeling.
Published more than 25 peer-reviewed articles, reflecting his commitment to advancing knowledge in construction materials. As a registered professional engineer in Ethiopia, Dr. Eskinder is also member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
In addition, he serves as a reviewer for several esteemed journals, contributing over 50 peer-review assessments. His review activities include Journals such as Asian Journal of Civil Engineering, Buildings, Construction & Building Materials, Engineering Structures, European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, Infrastructures, Journal of Building Engineering, Journal of Engineering and Applied Science (Cairo), Journal of Materials Science, Journal of Natural Fibers, Materials and Design, Minerals, and Structural Concrete.
