Speakers

Tyler Dawson, PhD PE

Vice President at NTH Consultants, Ltd.

Dr. Dawson is in his 12th year as a pavement, geotechnical, and subsurface utility engineer with NTH Consultants, Ltd. (NTH). He has a wide background in pavement research, management, and design. He has completed research projects for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) involving pavement design, material characterization, maintenance, and management. He has participated in and led numerous projects which have included pavement surface and structural evaluations, geotechnical explorations, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and transportation utility coordination. Dr. Dawson’s geotechnical design experience includes earth retention, embankment, road sign and signal, ITS structure, bridge, and other deep and shallow foundations using LRFD and other techniques. He has also led several geophysical investigations to locate buried structures/utilities and subsurface voids.

Sharareh Shirzad, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor at Appalachian State University

Dr. Sharareh Shirzad is an assistant professor at the Department of Sustainable Technology and the Built Environment at Appalachian State University. Before that, she worked as a graduate research assistant at Louisiana State University and Louisiana Transportation Research Center. She obtained her Ph.D. degree from the Department of Construction Management at LSU working on light-activated self-healing asphalt materials. She also holds a graduate certificate in Materials Science and Engineering. Dr. Shirzad’s research expertise and interest are in the broad theme of sustainable infrastructure and sustainable construction materials. She has published the results from her research on self-healing asphalt materials, recycling of asphalt materials, and sustainable asphalt pavements in multiple peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering and the Journal of Construction and Building Materials. She is currently working on the use of bio-oil and biochar obtained from pyrolysis of the wood and forestry waste in asphalt and concrete pavement, respectively.
