Faculty
M. Emin Kutay
Professor
Dr. Kutay's background and interests are primarily on experimental and numerical investigation of fundamental material behavior of asphalt pavements and granular materials. His research focuses on improvement of the AASHTO Superpave mix design, understanding and better prediction of fatigue cracking in asphalt pavements using state-of-the-art techniques such as the Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) Theory and development of tools to improve understanding of permanent deformation (rutting) characteristics of asphalt pavements. His other research interests include pavement surface characteristics such as smoothness, tire/pavement noise and splash/spray.

Seyed W. Heidar
Professor
Dr. Haider's research interests are in the area of pavement material characterization, preservation, performance modeling, management, and rehabilitation. His current research has been focused on (a) the mechanistic characterization of recycled asphalt mixtures, (b) the rheological properties of aged and virgin binders, (c) the statistical modeling of axle load spectra for mechanistic-empirical pavement design, (d) the implementation of Superpave asphalt binder and mixture specifications, (e) the effectiveness of pavement preservation treatments, (f) the development of performance-related specifications & statistical quality control/assurance, (g) the use of advance/efficient statistical techniques in modeling pavement performance, (h) the non-destructive pavement evaluation techniques for fixing the existing road infrastructure, and (i) the calibration of performance models in mechanistic-empirical pavement design.
