This researcher studies road pavement materials, focusing on how asphalt mixtures are designed, compacted, and how they perform over time under traffic and temperature stress. Work spans practical topics like aggregate (crushed stone) shape and gradation effects on pavement quality, as well as molecular-scale simulations of how oil-based binders and additives (like carbon nanotubes and graphene) interact with mineral surfaces. The research combines lab testing, field projects, and computational modeling to improve pavement durability and sustainability.
Publication output was highest between 2018 and 2021, then dropped to little or no output from 2022-2023 before a small resumption in 2024-2025, indicating a slowing pace over the last five years.
