Bio

Dr. Abdelrahman’s research on infrastructure sustainability with a focus on applications of recycled materials in pavement engineering, including modified asphalt binder, represents a unique blend of practical and fundamental research activities. He has written or co-written 100 peer-reviewed publications and technical reports, and he shares a patent on asphalt-rubber interaction, “Elastomer Reclaiming Composition and Method” (US Patent No. 6815510).

Dr. Abdelrahman is associate editor of the American Society of Civil Engineer’s (ASCE) Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering and a board member of two other international journals. He has served nine three-year terms on four national committees of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and one term on an ASCE committee. “Serving on engineering committees has provided me with insights into the next generation of engineering education and allowed me to link early engineering education to the outcomes of engineering programs.”
