About Me

I am a graduate research assistant and an MS student of Pavement Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, with a good enthusiasm for learning and innovative thinking. My current research is ongoing on developing mix design methods for using 100% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in Microsurfacing surface treatment of pavements in Nevada, United States.
I am keenly interested in various surface treatments and pavement rehabilitation methods. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is one of the things that intrigues me. I want to learn and explore the properties of RAP and how we can use it more efficiently in HMA or surface treatments. In addition, I am interested in sustainable pavement materials from a broader perspective.
Personally, I have been an ambitious person since childhood, and I have always dreamed of making a positive contribution to the world. As a student of pavement engineering with an immense interest in recycled pavement materials, I feel the urge to learn more about their characteristics and functionality.

Furthermore, I dream of being a diligent researcher of pavement materials in the next 10 years.
