Dr. Luhar Salmabanu Ismailbhai said:
My mentors, professors, teachers, etc., whom I thank a lot, have well thought-out me as talented, dynamic, passionate, courageous, intellectual, enthusiastic, work-alcoholic and hardworking, simple natured young Indian woman researcher (scientist) born in an educated family. My upbringing was privileged in values and depth of life and knowledge. Traditional at heart, I personify Indian cultural values to the core, while enjoying the lifestyle of a professional lady. According to my belief, “excellence is to keep breaking your own records every day. If you don't have a standard for yourself, you will not have further records to beat; and if you don't have any record to beat, you can't excel.” I received education of school, diploma (state government polytechnic - Civil Engg.), B.Tech
(Hon’s-Civil Engg.) and M.Tech (Hon’s-computer aided structural analysis and design). Both bachelors and masters from premium university namely Nirma University, Gujarat, India. At master’s level, I have submitted a major project titled “Development of fly and slag based geopolymer concrete” under her dissertation work which reflects my passion to this specialty right from beginning. This is the basic point from where I started gaining my experience in geopolymer technology.
I joined my doctoral research program at Malaviya national Institute of Technology (MNIT) –a NIRF institute of Government of India. I obtained a Ph.D. degree certificate in Civil (Structure) engineering for the thesis topic related to novel low cost sustainable, user and eco-friendly green Geopolymer Concrete incorporating wastes and its performance evaluation in person by his highness and highly respected Dr. Shri MUPPAVARAPU VENKAIAH NAIDU SIR, VICE-PRESIDENT OF INDIA and CHAIRMAN OF THE RAJYA SABHA (THE UPPER HOUSE OF THE PARLIAMENT OF INDIA), as Honorable Chief guest, on the occasion of 12th convocation of Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) held at Jaipur, Rajasthan, India on January 6, 2018.
My core and active areas of research interest include green construction composites, viz., Geopolymer concrete and mortar, low cost novel building materials for affordable housing and infrastructures with low carbon footprint providing relief to global warming dilemma and best use of wastes that are responsible for fertile land filling and health hazards through manufacturing green
concrete, high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, etc., i.e., an integration of Material Science and Construction Engineering. Additionally, I have a short duration experience of teaching as an assistant professor and mentoring with outstanding feedback at undergraduate level subsequent to my master. My research expertise include environmentally benevolent construction and building material science with more emphasis on incorporation of diverse wastes to produce
cost-effective colonies to live in and essential infrastructures to utilize, viz., schools; hospitals; roads; dams; bridges; and corporate, as well as commercial and industrial infrastructures, etc. One of the prominent reasons for climate crisis is the effects of anthropogenic CO2 emissions amplifying global warming. The key scientific researches are essential to slash its impact on society and the environment. I desire to free the highly fertile land filled by the wastes after cleaning for agriculture purposes through organized consumption in manufacturing the best geopolymeric building materials and Geopolymer cements. The result will be an augmentation of agricultural productions. Presently, I am keen to carry out advance post doctoral researches as, most promising woman scientist cum inventor cum researcher, in my field of expertise, i.e., Concrete technology.
Presently, I am hopeful to carryout post doctoral researches since I received some offers for post doctoral programs in the field of my specialization from Canadian, and Australian universities recently. They have approved my proposed research plan for Post doc in Geopolymer Concrete technology. In addition, China and Malaysia has also offered to hire me for PDF program with their own funding. These countries have also advised me to apply for the same after primary study of my case. Furthermore, I am going to apply for JSPS post doc fellowship, Japan and Australian Endeavour research fellowship, Australia for post doc program of advanced research as well as Overseas post doctoral fellowship (OPDF) program from my own country- India, too. Also, I got a good response from Mexico, Iran, and Cyprus for further research work. My so many efforts are the reflection of my thirst for depth knowledge of my field and passion for research with utmost dedication.
Another book of mine is under pipeline on an incorporation of modern wastes with concrete for the first time in the world and will publish in near future.
My areas of expertise are to develop a variety of novel Geopolymer composites - a sustainable, affordable, user and eco-friendly construction materials for infrastructures with almost nine time lesser emissions of CO2- a primary green house gas, mitigating the dilemma of global warming. My research interests focus on “Advances both in Geopolymer and Conventional Concrete Technology. I have worked in a well equipped, modern, excellent, cement concrete research lab and possesses outstanding lab skills which made me familiar with all modern instruments and equipments to work on conventional and Geopolymer composites and Geopolymer cesments. My vision and mission of life is “ To enlighten lives globally through advanced researches and inventions for innovative, affordable, sustainable and eco-friendly edifice material for cost-effective houses and infrastructures for mankind as I have a great concern in my heart about common man and the global problems adversely affecting existence of lives. I desire to contribute for keeping the environment fresh”. In my personal opinion “ Every living has fundamental right for shelter”! That is the key reason for my inclination towards the programs of development like “House for all” and necessary basic infrastructures to serve mankind because after all, ‘ service to humanity is service to God’. I briefed print media, i.e., DNA (English daily newspaper), Ahmedabad edition on the occasion of NUICONE conference held by Nirma University during 26 to 28 November,2015 regarding innovative field of green Geopolymer technology which is capable to consume various wastes materials systematically, conserving natural restricted resources with a strategy of making the “best from the wastes”. Moreover, saving of fertile land from land filling by wastes and relief to the lives from global warming is possible with low carbon foot print preserving earth’s environments.
Also, I explained why high energy and high temperature reactions are no more essential as the same purpose can be served with about 6 times less energy at room temperature only!
