My academic journey began with a fascination for pavement engineering which guides my research today. My research interests are pavement materials, analysis and design, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) materials, pavement evaluation, rehabilitation and maintenance. I gained experience from research projects on estimating the degree of blending of RAP bitumen with virgin bitumen, evaluating the rutting susceptibility of bituminous mixes using viscoelastic and finite element modelling, evaluating self-healing and steric hardening properties of bituminous binders, characterizing RAP mortars and RAP binders, assessing the performance of bituminous binders and mixes modified with phase change materials, evaluating the top-down cracking susceptibility of bituminous mixes, improving the falling weight deflectometer (FWD)-based backcalculation procedure, and unifying the benkelman beam deflectometer (BBD)-based and FWD-based bituminous overlay design procedures.
