Tejaswini Lakshmi Tavva

About

My academic journey began with a fascination for pavement engineering which guides my research today. My research interests are pavement materials, analysis and design, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) materials, pavement evaluation, rehabilitation and maintenance. I have developed expertise in advanced rheological, chemical, and mechanical characterization of bitumen and bituminous mixtures, as well as hands-on experience with pavement design and evaluation software tools.
