Dr. Sreejith Krishnan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. His research focuses on the chemistry of cementitious materials, with a particular interest in low-carbon cement development, hydration and microstructure of alternative binders, and sustainable construction materials.

Before joining IIT Jodhpur, Dr. Krishnan was a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, UK (2021–2023), where he worked on the MUSE project under Prof. Susan Bernal, developing novel low-carbon cement from activated clays. Prior to that, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at EPFL, Switzerland (2019–2020), working with Prof. Karen Scrivener on the chemistry of belite in Portland cement through a Swiss Government Excellence Postdoctoral Fellowship.

He obtained his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from IIT Delhi (2019) under the supervision of Prof. Shashank Bishnoi, as part of the Low Carbon Cement Project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. His research focused on hydration and microstructure development in limestone calcined clay cements (LC3) and optimizing LC3 blend compositions. He also holds an M.Tech. in Construction Engineering and Management from IIT Delhi (2014) and a B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from NIT Calicut (2012).

Dr. Krishnan has been recognized for his contributions to cement chemistry and sustainable construction. He received the Distinction in Doctoral Research Award (IIT Delhi, 2019), the Swiss Government Excellence Fellowship (2019), the Advances in Cement Research Prize from the Institute of Civil Engineers, UK (2020), and the Prime Minister’s Early Career Research Grant from ANRF, India (2025).

His expertise continues to drive advancements in sustainable construction materials and the development of alternative cementitious systems.
