I am an Assistant Professor and the Jr. Norman W. McLeod Chair in Sustainable Pavement Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Prior to joining the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology (CPATT) at the University of Waterloo, I worked as an Assistant Professor of Research at the Thomas D. Larson Transportation Institute of the Pennsylvania State University. I got my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a focus on pavement materials and nondestructive testing from the Pennsylvania State University in 2016. I am currently serving as the Vice-Chair of the Ontario Asphalt Experts Task Group (OA-ETG) and am leading the TG2 of the RIlEM Technical Comiitee FBB. My interests and background are in pavement engineering, resiliency and sustainability of transportation infrastructure, smart pavements, construction materials characterization, non-destructive testing, and developing innovative and sustainable materials for construction applications for both pavements and building materials. I am working on collaborative research with several colleagues from accross Canada and internationally to ensure that we can pave the way to a sustainable future for our transportation network. If you are interested in joining my research group, please check the available positions and review the necessary requirements on my UW portal.
