🎓 PhD Defense and Research Achievements of Dr. Mostafa Kazemi
Warm congratulations to Dr. Mostafa Kazemi for successfully defending his PhD titled “Water Transfer and Insulation Dynamic of Green Roofs with Coarse Recycled Materials”, presented on 20 February 2024 at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of Liège.
This doctoral work advances our understanding of how recycled mineral materials can be integrated into green roof assemblies to enhance water transfer, retention, and thermal insulation. It provides valuable insight for climate adaptation, circular construction, and low-carbon design.
I sincerely thank Prof. Luc Courard for his excellent leadership as supervisor throughout this project. It was a pleasure to contribute as co-supervisor and to collaborate on such a meaningful research topic.
My appreciation also goes to the jury members Prof. Frédéric Collin, Prof. Griet Verbeeck and Prof. Élodie Prud homme for their constructive scientific evaluation. I also acknowledge the contributions of the City Roofs project team including Prof. Jacques Teller, Prof. Gregory Mahy, Lucie Rivière and Dr. Mitali Joshi, PhD Joshi.
