Rouzbeh Ghabchi, M. ASCE (he/him/his)

Associate Professor
South Dakota State University
Brookings, SD, United States

Dr. Rouzbeh Ghabchi is an associate professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at South Dakota State University (SDSU). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma. His research interests include pavement engineering, innovative transportation infrastructure materials, environmentally friendly pavement technologies, pavement performance and asphalt materials. More specifically, his research areas include characterization and performance enhancement of asphalt mixes containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS), Ground Tire Rubber (GTR), Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), tack coat, bio-asphalt, modified asphalt binder and asphalt binder-aggregate bonding and stripping mechanisms.
Prior to joining SDSU in 2016, he was a post‐doctoral research fellow at the University of Oklahoma, working as principal investigator (PI) and Co-PI on several research projects funded by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Southern Plains Transportation Center and the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. The objectives of these research projects were to enhance the performance of the asphalt pavements, evaluate different WMA technologies, increase the use of RAP, RAS and GTR in asphalt mixes, evaluate tack coat performance and propose a special provision for screening fatigue life of asphalt mixes containing RAS and RAP among other areas.
