This research develops quality control standards for fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge reinforcement, a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel. By testing FRP materials under extreme conditions, the work helps make long-lasting, rust-free bridges a reliable construction standard, reducing maintenance costs, extending bridge lifespans, and improving infrastructure resilience in coastal environments.

This research investigates unstable lipid oxidation products called epoxides, tracking how different fatty acids form them across various fats and oils. By improving detection and understanding of these pathways, the project supports better quality control in pet food and other lipid-based industries, helping reduce waste, extend shelf life, and promote sustainable practices.
