My research focuses on advancing sustainable and high-performance materials for pavement engineering, with an emphasis on the development and characterization of innovative binders and mixtures for durable pavement applications. The work aims to address current challenges in pavement performance while promoting environmentally responsible construction practices.
Key research interests include:
· Sustainable pavement materials and resource-efficient design
· Utilization of RAP and industrial by-products
· Polymer-modified bitumen
· Rheological characterization of binders
· Geopolymer and alternative binders for pavements
· Sustainable and circular infrastructure practices
My broader research vision is to integrate material innovation with pavement design strategies to develop resilient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable infrastructure systems.
