Prof. Prannoy Suraneni is Assistant Professor in the Civil and Architectural Engineering Department at the University of Miami since 2017 and the Miami Engineering Career Development Assistant Professor since 2022. He obtained his B.Tech., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from IIT Madras, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and ETH Zurich, respectively. He heads the Advanced Cement Chemistry, Engineering, Sustainability, and Science Lab (ACCESS Lab) at the University of Miami. The major research objective of the lab is to make concrete infrastructure sustainable, durable, and resilient, through discovery and manipulation of process-structure-property relationships in cementitious materials. The major educational objective of the lab is to make concrete education, knowledge, and possibilities accessible to school students and the general public. Dr. Suraneni has published 94 peer-reviewed international journal papers since 2011, and his work has received ≈ 2600 citations. His research has been funded by NSF, NIST, DARPA, National Cooperative Highway Research Program, Portland Cement Association, Ready Mixed Concrete Foundation, University of Miami, and other agencies/organizations/companies. The lab has received continuous federal funding since 2019, which is expected to continue until at least 2027. Dr. Suraneni is Editorial Board Member of ASTM Advances in Civil Engineering Materials, and Cement and Concrete Research, and Associate Editor of Materials and Structures. In the last four years, he has been selected as ASTM Emerging Professional, ACI Emerging Member, and ACI Ambassador Speaker, and awarded the PCA Fellowship, UM SEEDS You Choose Leadership Award, TRB Concrete Materials Section Best Paper Award, SCA Research Project of the Year, Giatec Best Paper Award, UM College of Engineering David J. Sumanth Early Career Research Award, and the prestigious RILEM Gustavo Colonnetti Medal.
