(April 2020) Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Spring Meetings

I will be presenting at the 2020 TAC Spring Meetings in Ottawa. The title of my presentation is "Application of Lightweight Concrete (LWC) for Flexible Pavements: Pavement Design and LCA Aspects". This is a result of a joint work by colleagues in the areas of pavement engineering, "environmental, enterprise, and development", and life cylcle analysis. In this work we investigated the potentials of a new pavement design by utilizing an innovative lightweight material to enhance the pavement design and performance over its service life for cold regions.I am looking forward to continuing this type of collaborative work, which I believe is essential to promote sustainable developement for our transportation network.

(November 2019) Canadian Technical Asphalt Association (CTAA) Conference

I will be presenting at the 2019 CTAA Annual Conference in Montreal. I will be talking about the Biodegradable Asphalt Release Agents (ARAs) in Canada. Updates and photos will be posted here soon!

(October 2019)RILME Cluster F Meetings and Symposium

CPATT will be hosting RILEM Cluster "F" Technical Committee (TC) meetings and a one day workshop and symposium on high performance asphalt materials at the University of Waterloo. The Workshop will take place from 8:30am to 3:30 pm on Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 in the Faculty Hall of the Engineering 7 Building at the University of Waterloo.

(April 2019) We are hosting the GRINCH 2019 seminar at CPATT

This year CPATT hosted the GRINCH 2019 Meeting and Seminar series on April 25th and 26th at the University of Waterloo. GRINCH stands for “Groupe de Recherche en Ingénierie des Chaussées” or Research Group on Pavement Engineering. This event brings together professors, researchers, and students from eight Canadian universities and is an excellent opportunity for networking, learning about ongoing and future research at other Canadian institutes, presenting work, and exchanging ideas with peers.Pictures and presentations from this years meeting can be found here .

Further details about the Scientific Committee members, program, and abstracts of presentations can be found here.
