My area of expertise has been in Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure with main focus on Pavement Engineering for the past 7 years.
My research interests include pavement analysis and design, behaviour of pavement materials such as example, modified bitumen, cold-mix asphalt, hot mix asphalt (particularly mixes with high RAP content), pavement evaluation and asset management.
