Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zahid Hossain is a Professor at Arkansas State University with a research focus on materials science, particularly as it applies to civil engineering and construction materials. His work investigates the properties and performance of asphalt binders and concrete, exploring the effects of various additives and alternative materials. Recent publications include studies on the cracking resistance and moisture susceptibility of stone mastic asphalt modified with warm-mix additives and graphene nanoplatelets, as well as an evaluation of alternative supplementary cementitious materials for concrete.

Hossain's research also delves into the aging mechanisms of asphalt binders and the micro-mechanistic analysis of aged asphalt binders blended with recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and rejuvenated with waste oils. He has examined the compatibility of aggregate-binder systems and investigated the stabilization of subgrade soils in Arkansas. His work has been supported by federal grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), including two awards totaling over $1.2 million for the acquisition of an X-Ray Diffractometer and a Nanoindenter, aimed at enhancing materials and biomaterials research and education at Arkansas State University.

With a scholarly output reflected by an h-index of 18 and over 1,580 citations across 195 publications, Hossain actively collaborates with colleagues at Arkansas State University, including Mohammad Najmush Sakib Oyan, Subrata Roy, Sumon Roy, and Kazi Tamzidul Islam. He maintains an active laboratory website to showcase his group's research activities.
