Research team

This page is dedicated to the individuals who are (or were) a part of this research. They are the ones who make my journey possible and help me learn new things all the time and become a little better every day. I also have the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Syeda Rahman and Mr. Darren Hazlett (a 30+ year veteran from TxDOT) as research fellows at CTR and Tyler Seay who oversees our laboratory and field testing program.
