Bio
Maria G. Juenger, FACI, is a professor and holder of the Austin Industries Endowed Faculty Fellowship in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, where she has been since 2002. Her teaching and research focus on materials used in civil engineering applications. She primarily examines chemical issues in cement-based materials, including phase formation in cement clinkering, hydration chemistry of portland cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement and supplementary cementitious materials, as well as chemical deterioration processes in concrete. In 2005, she received a Faculty Early CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation.
She is a Fellow of ACI and the American Ceramic Society (ACerS). She is an associate editor of Cement and Concrete Composites and is on the editorial boards of both the Cement and Concrete Research Journal and ACI Materials Journal.
Juenger received her B.S. in chemistry from Duke University and her Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Northwestern University. After completing her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher in civil engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
