Rate My Professor Mary Juenger

Juenger's teaching and research center on materials used in civil engineering applications, primarily chemical issues in cement-based materials, including phase formation in cement clinkering, hydration chemistry of portland cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement and supplementary cementitious materials, chemical deterioration processes in concrete, concrete durability, and reducing the environmental impact of concrete production. She is an associate editor of Cement and Concrete Composites and serves on the editorial boards of Cement and Concrete Research Journal and ACI Materials Journal. Her notable awards include the American Concrete Institute Concrete Sustainability Award (2020), Delmar L. Bloem Distinguished Service Award (2018), Wason Medal for Materials Research (2011), NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program CAREER Award (2005), fellow of the American Concrete Institute (2014), and fellow of the American Ceramic Society (2015). She delivered the 2024 Cements Della Roy Lecture and was elected President of the American Concrete Institute. Key publications encompass "Comprehensive phase characterization of a Class F fly ash" (Cement and Concrete Research, 2010), "Effects of construction time and materials on bridge deck cracking" (ACI Materials Journal, 2009), "The physical and chemical characteristics of the shell of air-entrained bubbles in cement paste" (Cement and Concrete Research, 2009), and "Incorporation of waste materials into portland cement clinker synthesized from natural raw materials" (Journal of Materials Science, 2009). Juenger's contributions have advanced sustainable practices and materials science in civil engineering.
