Graduate Research Assistant

Currently, I'm a Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech University and my dissertation is focused on the analysis and modeling of the pavement surface properties, by implementing Machine learning techniques. As a pavement engineer I focus on modeling of pavement surface properties,
particularly friction and macrotexture, for enhancing road safety, performance, and durability. I focus on understanding how surface texture interacts with tires, ensuring optimal skid resistance, especially in varying environmental conditions (like rain or snow), and classification
of the roadway.
My role involves modeling pavement surface friction and macrotexture, to maintain high friction level. I implemented mix design and aggregate properties, as well as using measurements from laser texture scanner, friction testers (SCRIM), and used software for predictive modeling (for instance, MATLAB, R-Studio, JMP, SAS). My goal is to contribute to create safer, longer lasting, and more efficient pavement surfaces. Furthermore, I have graduated from Payame Noor University in Iran with an MSc in Civil Engineering-Transportation with primary interest in lab and experimental testing on the various asphalt mixes.
