O autorze

Pouria Hajikarimi is a young Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran. His main research field is experimental and numerical modeling of viscoelastic materials, especially bituminous composites including modified asphalt binders, asphalt mastic, asphalt mortar and asphalt mixtures, using finite element methods to simulate different aspects of rheological and mechanical behavior in both continuous and discontinuous medium. Recently, he has been focused on multi-scale experimental and numerical modeling of bituminous composites as well as application of machine learning methods to predict their behavior. He published more than 30 high-quality research papers and 25 national and international conference papers. Prof. Fereidoon Moghadas Nejad is a well-known professor and a national figure in pavement engineering in Iran due to his high-quality research and practical works in the field of asphalt binder modification, construction of highways and railways, and concrete pavements. Additionally, he has lots of experience, and it can be said that he was the pioneer of establishing a pavement management system (PMS) in several cities of Iran. During his academic life, He supervised 10 Ph.D. dissertations and 80 master theses up to now, which resulted in more than 15 textbooks and chapters (in Persian and English), more than 190 journal papers and 200 international and national conference papers. He also contributed in 21 national and one US patents.
