personal info
Dr. Shadi Saadeh is a professor of civil engineering at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), and the director of the National Center for Transportation Green Technology and Education (TransGet) at CSULB. Dr. Saadeh worked for Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) 2003-2005 and Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) 2006-2007. He received his B.Sc. in civil engineering from the University of Jordan (1997), M.Sc. in civil engineering from Washington State University (2002), and Ph.D. in civil engineering from Texas A & M University (2005). His research focuses on topics directly related to granular materials, including asphalt mixes and its constituents.
His main research areas are constitutive modeling of highway materials at the microstructural level, preservation technologies, sustainability and life-cycle assessment, performance of highway infrastructure, experimental characterization of highway materials using X-ray computed tomography (CT), image analysis techniques, and mechanical testing. Dr Saadeh has received several research and scholarly activities awards. He is an associate editor of the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, an author and reviewer for many scientific journals such as the Journal of Transportation Research Board (TRB), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the Journal of the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE), Journal of the Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists (AAPT), and Journal of Computational Materials Science.
