Ph.D. civil engineering having specialization in Geotechnical Engineering. The research topic was related to recycling waste materials, especially industrial waste material in developed and under-developing countries for road construction. Conducted numerous geotechnical and geoenvironmental experiments and proposed an economical way to improve the low-quality materials of the road subgrade material with CBR value ≥ 100 %.
