My research interests included sustainable transportation infrastructure, pavement material characterization, green asphalt technologies (e.g. warm/cold mix asphalt), pavement design and modeling, nondestructive and advanced performance testing, recycled and reclaimed materials evaluation, pavement rehabilitation and maintenance, and smart and resilient civil engineering material design.
My research areas include:
- Interdisciplinary solution to address complex engineering problems
- Environmental sustainability and resiliency
- Smart materials and innovative technologies
- Advanced laboratory characterization for construction materials
- Asphalt technology and pavement engineering
- Infrastructure forensic evaluation, modeling, and mechanistic-empirical design
- STEM Education, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Expertise:
