Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher's overall research focus centers on advancing modern transportation infrastructure through innovative materials, technologies, and methodologies. Their work integrates studies across various domains, including asphalt performance evaluation, transportation innovations, infrastructure maintenance, traffic safety, geotechnical engineering, urban development challenges, landslide risks, and flood risk management. The research emphasizes the interplay between technological advancements (e.g., modular asphalt, propane-precipitated asphalt), material properties (e.g., bituminous pavements, superpave binders), and infrastructure maintenance strategies, while also addressing broader societal impacts such as traffic flow optimization, urban planning, and resilience in face of climate change.
