Dr. Mohammed Javeed Siddique is a Lecturer in Structural Engineering at A’Sharqiyah University (ASU), Ibra, Oman, and a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng., Professional Engineers Ontario). He holds a PhD from VIT Vellore and has worked at ASU for about nine years, where he established the university’s civil engineering laboratories.
Current projects (Principal Investigator):
-
Treated Effluent Reuse in Construction, a funded consultancy for Nama Water Services SAOC. The project covers laboratory validation of treated effluent as concrete mixing water, together with cost-benefit, economic valuation, and environmental benefit assessment of reuse.
Sarooj User Guide Development, a funded project through Ejaad on Sarooj (Omani calcined clay pozzolan). The project covers its performance, standards alignment (OS 1657/2025), and practical application in Omani construction.
He is also establishing an Internationally Networked Research Group (INRG) at ASU to collaborate with partner institutions abroad. His research focuses on sustainable construction materials (recycled polymer-modified concrete, Sarooj, and supplementary cementitious materials) and on machine-learning models that predict the thermal, structural, carbon, and cost performance of building assemblies.

Current Projects
Treated Effluent Reuse in Construction (Principal Investigator)
Funded consultancy with Nama Water Services SAOC. The project investigates the use of treated effluent as mixing water in concrete and assesses the associated economic and environmental implications.
Sarooj User Guide Development (Principal Investigator)
Funded through Ejaad. The project develops technical guidance on Sarooj, the Omani calcined clay pozzolan, as a supplementary cementitious material in construction.
Research Group
Internationally Networked Research Group (INRG), A’Sharqiyah University. The group is being established to carry out joint research and publications on sustainable construction materials with partner institutions abroad.
Collaboration
Collaboration is welcome from academic institutions, government bodies and industry in the areas of sustainable construction materials, laboratory characterization and testing, and machine-learning-based performance prediction of building assemblies.
