About

I am a Research Associate at the Nottingham Transportation Engineering Centre (NTEC), University of Nottingham, UK. I completed my PhD in Transportation Engineering, specializing in Pavement Engineering, from IIT (BHU), Varanasi, India. My research expertise includes asphalt binder tribology, rheology, workability and performance of asphalt mixtures, pavement materials, pavement analysis and design, pavement evaluation and maintenance, sustainable pavement materials, and bio-bitumen. My current and future research interests focus on bio-binders, the tribological characterization of RAP-rejuvenated binders, and the impact of electric vehicles on pavement material characterization and performance. I aim to develop innovative, sustainable, and high-performance pavement materials and technologies for next-generation transportation infrastructure.
