Research Groups
Visiting Professor/Scholar/Postdoc
We welcome visitors who would like to work in our lab and collaborate with us. Over the years, these visitors contributed significantly to the research and education programs as well as outreach goals to the university. They delivered seminars, assisted university activities, and provided potential student applicants from their home institutions.
Ph.D. Candidates
We consider applications for Ph.D./M.S. program at any time. We particularly invite candidates with a solid fundamental background in the area of pavement and materials, nano materials, micromechanics, and discrete/finite element methods. Current students:
- Mr. Siyu Chen (Ph.D. Student): Rubber-modified asphalt materials, Analysis of permeability and porosity of asphalt mixture, and discrete element method (DEM)
- Mr. Lingyun You (Ph.D. Student): Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation, Foamed asphalt mixes, Chip-seal application, Finite element analysis (FEA), and Pavement structure analysis
- Mr. Dongdong Ge (Ph.D. Student): Recycled asphalt pavements, Aging analysis of asphalts, and Extraction of rubber particles from asphalt mixtures
