John Provis studied Chemical Engineering and Applied Mathematics at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and was awarded a PhD in Chemical Engineering by the same institution in 2006. He moved to the University of Sheffield in 2012 as Professor of Cement Materials Science and Engineering.
He was awarded the 2013 RILEM Robert L’Hermite Medal "in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the research and development of geopolymers and other construction materials", and was awarded an honorary doctorate by Hasselt University, Belgium, in 2015 to recognise his leadership in the development of geopolymers and other novel cementitious materials.
His research has been funded by the European Research Council as well as other EU sources, UK Research Councils, industry, and international funding bodies.
He is an invited TAC Expert of RILEM, a Voting Member of committees of BSI, ASTM and ACI, Editor-in-Chief of the RILEM flagship journal Materials and Structures, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of RILEM Technical Letters, Associate Editor of Cement and Concrete Research, and Speciality Chief Editor for the Structural Materials section of Frontiers in Materials.
Prof. Provis has also been appointed as a Visiting Professor at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, in the Building Materials division.
