Data Analysis in Pavement Engineering

Dr. Qiao Dong received the B.S. in civil engineering in 2003 and M.S. degree in roadway and railway engineering in 2006 from Southeast University, Nanjing, China and Ph.D. degree in civil and environmental engineering in 2011 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. From 2011 to 2016, he was a research associate in the University of Tennessee. He joint Southeast University since 2016 as a Professor. His research interests include pavement asset management based on data analysis and artificial intelligence, pavement distress non-destructive evaluation, pavement materials multiscale characterization and simulation. Dr. Dong has worked on data driven pavement evaluation and management since 2006 and selected pavement data modelling and mining as the topic of his Ph.D. dissertation. He won the first prize in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data analysis contest in 2010. He was the PI or co-PI of several related research projects. He has published more than 100 research papers, and more than 30 of them focus the field of pavement data analysis. He is currently an active member of the Bituminous Materials Committee (BMC) of American Society of Civil Engineers, the Pavement Maintenance Committee (AHD20) of Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Pavement Performance Evaluation Committee of the World Transportation Congress. He served as a young editor for the Journal of Infrastructure Preservation and Resilience and an editor of Coatings. Xueqin Chen received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from Tongji University, Shanghai, China in 2012 and 2018. From 2014-2016, She was a visiting scholar at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. She is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering in Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, China. Her research interest include performance evaluation and prediction of the life cycle of infrastructure, infrastructure maintenance decisions and asset management, smart Infrastructure, and pavement management system. Dr. Chen was the first prize winner of the ASCE LTPP data analysis contest in 2015. The topic of her Ph.D. dissertation is data modelling and mining on transportation infrastructure including tunnel and pavement. She has published more than 10 papers on related topics. She serves as a reviewer for Journal of Transportation Engineering, Journal of Cleaner Production, Tunneling and Underground Space Technology. Baoshan Huang is the Edwin G. Burdette Professor, at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee. Over the last fifteen years of his professional career, Huang has secured over 6.5 million dollars of research funding to support his research activities and published over 100 peer reviewed journal papers.
