About the Guest Editor

**Anibal Maury-Ramirez** is an Associate Professor from The Civil Engineering Program at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali (Colombia). He received the degree in Civil Engineering with a final research work on "Development of a neural-fuzzy model to estimate the in-let flows to waste treatment plants" (Universidad del Norte - Colombia, 2003). Based on his academic and research performance, he received a scholarship for an international ALFA program on Materials Science in which he investigated "TiO2 impregnation of concrete and plaster surfaces" (Tampere University of Technology - Finland, 2004). Following the results obtained in the pioneer research work of photocatalytic coatings applied on plasters and concrete, he started a broader research on this topic during his doctorate in the development of "Cementitious materials with air-purifying and self-cleaning properties using titanium dioxide photocatalysis" (Ghent University - Belgium, 2011). Later, he joined a wellknown research group on the use of recycled glass as fine aggregate in mortars (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University - Hong Kong, 2014). Thus, he combined TiO2 photocatalysis experience with the use of recycled glass to enhance photocatalytic activity in cementitious materials. To date, Professor Maury-Ramirez has authored more than 10 journal publications, 20 articles on conference proceedings and several book chapters on the development of photocatalytic building materials.
