Yudhi Dwi Hartono is a PhD student in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Sheffield. His research focuses on developing novel textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) for structural strengthening applications. With a background in civil engineering, Yudhi has extensive professional experience, including positions as a university lecturer and director of international cooperation at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari, Indonesia. He also served as an individual consultant for the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) in Indonesia.
Yudhi holds a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Universitas Halu Oleo, a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and a Professional Engineer certification from Universitas Hasanuddin, Indonesia. He was also awarded a scholarship to participate in the prestigious Summer School on Engineering for Development (E4D) at ETH Zürich, Switzerland, where he focused on sustainable construction materials. His research aims to develop sustainable, efficient solutions for the construction industry, with particular emphasis on using textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) to enhance the performance of reinforced concrete structures in urgent repair scenarios.

Research Project Title: Development of Low-Carbon Textile Reinforced Mortars for Structural Strengthening Applications.
My research focuses on developing a novel Textile-Reinforced Geopolymer Mortar (TRGM) as a low-carbon alternative for the strengthening and retrofitting of existing structures. The project addresses the limitations of current TRM systems. The work includes mortar optimisation, textile–matrix interface behaviour, mechanical and durability testing, and validation of composite performance. The project also incorporates a combined Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate commercial viability and environmental benefits.
