• Materials and pavements engineering

Emad Kassem joined the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering as an assistant professor in August 2015. Before joining U of I, he was an associate research scientist at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. His area of research is materials and pavements engineering and focuses on characterization of pavement materials, tire-pavement interaction, microstructure analysis of composite materials, non-destructive evaluation of pavements, multifunctional materials, and analytical and computational modeling of infrastructure materials. He received the Texas A&M Transportation Institute/Trinity New Researcher Award in 2011 and the Engineers’ Council Outstanding Engineering Achievement Merit Award in 2016.
