Tesfaalem Atsbha

Tesfaalem Atsbha is a Ph.D. student specializing in Civil (Cross-Disciplinary) within the Building Engineering program. His research focuses on developing low-carbon, thermally efficient concrete masonry units using belite calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) concrete.

His MSc research, supervised by Dr. Semion Zhutovsky at the Technion, examined curing methods and internal curing agents to improve the durability of normal-strength concrete.
