Dr. A. Arun Kumar is an Assistant Professor (S.G) in Civil and Structural Engineering at VIT University
Chennai Campus. His PhD dissertation was on green concrete. His research interests includes construction
and building materials by utilizing wastes and by products such as e- plastic, fly ash, GGBS, sewage sludge,
and other industrial wastes, etc. He is also guiding post-graduate and under-graduate student’s research
projects on engineering cementitious composites to enhance its structural performance.
