Pouria HajikarimiPouria 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 viscoelatic 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. Read More Read Less
