Sami Sbahieh is a PhD researcher at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, specializing in Sustainable Environment. His work focuses on advancing sustainable construction practices through life cycle assessment (LCA) of materials like concrete and fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Sami’s research explores the environmental and mechanical performance of FRPs, the potential of supplementary cementitious materials, and geopolymers as alternatives to traditional construction materials. He also investigates the use of recycled plastics in concrete and strategies for decarbonizing building materials to support eco-friendly and durable infrastructure. Sami holds an MSc in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering from Istanbul Technical University and a BSc in Civil Engineering from Tishreen University. He is currently a visiting PhD student at KAUST.
