Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zahid Hossain's research centers on materials science, with a particular focus on asphalt binders and concrete materials. He investigates the effects of various additives and rejuvenation techniques on the performance and durability of these construction materials. His work includes analyzing cracking resistance, moisture susceptibility, and cost-effectiveness of stone mastic asphalt modified with warm-mix additives, anti-stripping agents, and graphene nanoplatelets. Hossain also explores the use of alternative supplementary cementitious materials for concrete, such as rice husk ash, and examines the impact of aging on the multiscale mechanistic properties of asphalt binders.

His research further delves into the micro-mechanistic and spectroscopic analysis of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP)-blended asphalt binders rejuvenated with waste oils, as well as the compatibility of aggregate-binder systems. Hossain has also conducted laboratory and field investigations into subgrade soil stabilization. With an h-index of 18 and over 1,630 citations across 193 publications, his scholarship reflects a substantial body of work in materials science. He has served as Co-PI on two NSF grants totaling over $1.2 million for the acquisition of advanced research instrumentation, including an X-ray diffractometer and a nanoindenter, aimed at enhancing materials and biomaterials research and education at Arkansas State University.
