PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Graduate Research Assistant (August 2012-Present)
Department of Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering, ISU, Ames, IA
Project: “Premature Asphalt Concrete Pavement Cracking”
Sponsor: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
• Determine the causes of early cracking (top-down) on the state highway system.
• Field testing involves falling weight deflectometer (FWD), dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP), and geoprobe.
• Laboratory testing involves dynamic modulus and indirect tensile strength (ITS) on the cores extracted.
• Rheological testing of extracted asphalt binder involves dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) testing.
• Perform statistical analysis to determine the factors in contributing to the early cracking.

Department of Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering, ISU, Ames, IA
Project: “Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) Calibration for Pavement Rehabilitation for the State of Oregon”
Sponsor: Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
• Provided ODOT with pavement performance models used in MEPDG for hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) overlays that predict fatigue cracking, rutting, and thermal cracking calibrated and validated to Oregon conditions.
• Verification of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) models was also done.
Graduate Research Assistant (August 2008-May 2010)
Department of Civil Engineering, KSU, Manhattan, KS
Project: “Effectiveness of Thin Surface (PM) Treatments in Kansas”
Sponsor: University of Transportation Center (UTC)
• Evaluated roadway performance of three types of PM treatments such as chip seal, nova chip & 1” HMA applied on three surface types (Bare, 1” SR & 2” SR) in 2007 in sixteen highway sections distributed in six districts in Kansas.
• Data were extracted from the KDOT Pavement Management Information System database for performance evaluation of three preventative maintenance treatments.
• Laboratory investigation of field cores using the Hamburg Wheel...
