Jamie Clark
My name is Jamie Clark. I am a senior at Georgia Institute of Technology majoring in civil engineering. During my time at Georgia Tech I have fortified the concepts and theories that I have learned in the classroom with two summer internships, and three research experiences. After I earn my bachelors degree in May 2015. I plan to pursue a doctoral degree in civil engineering with a minor in city planning. In graduate school I am interested in researching methods for improving the sustainability and durability of concrete; the worlds most commonly used construction material. With the goal of one day using the skills I have learned to help to serve the most vulnerable members of our global society by increasing accessibility to affordable housing.

Undergraduate Research Assistant at Georgia Institute of Technology
Working under the direction of Dr. Kimberly Kurtis on a project which studies the effect of limestone additions to standard Portland cement and effect of supplementary cementitious materials on Portland limestone cement. My tasks include: preforming calorimetry, thermogravometric analysis, chemical and autogenous shrinkage tests to quantify early age properties of different
cement blends; calculating several American Concrete Institute concrete mix designs compliant with Georgia DOT regulations; and performing life cycle analysis using Simapro software to analyze embodied energy and CO2 emissions resulting from the manufacturing of different cement blends.
During the summer, I presented my research to top research faculty in the field of civil engineering materials at the Corvallis Workshop on Innovative Characterization Tools to Assess Performance of Cement-Based Materials hosted by Oregon State University. In August, I also gave a poster presentation of this research at the Ana G. Mendez University System (AGMUS) Conference in Puerto Rico, where I was recognized as one of the top eight presenters out of over 160 young researchers.
