Biography
Dr Janina Kanjee is a civil engineering academic at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, specialising in sustainable construction materials and infrastructure durability.
Her research advances circular economy principles through the use of locally sourced and alternative materials, including recycled aggregates
and industrial by-products in concrete.
She is particularly interested in how material selection and microstructural behaviour influence durability and service life in resource-constrained environments.
Her work also focuses on the long-term performance of concrete, including creep, shrinkage, and durability-related mechanisms, alongside the development of low-impact material solutions.
Dr Kanjee is actively involved in teaching, postgraduate supervision, and industry collaboration, supporting the development of practical skills and research capacity in sustainable construction.
Her work aligns with initiatives aimed at building capacity in circular natural building materials, with a focus on contextually appropriate, resilient, and environmentally responsible solutions.
