Dr Kamal Hossain<\/a> is featured in Paving the Way<\/em> on February 3, 2021 in the Memorial University Gazette for his collaborative research aimed at improving asphalt performance in Newfoundland. In this project, Dr Hossain<\/a> and his team work with the City of St. John\u2019s and Mitacs to develop improved asphalt materials suited to the province\u2019s harsh climate and traffic conditions.<\/p>\n

\n

The research focuses on reducing pavement issues such as rutting and moisture damage, helping improve road durability and overall driving conditions in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A summary of this research can be found on the Memorial University Gazette website. Thanks to the Gazette team for highlighting this important work on improving Newfoundland\u2019s road infrastructure.<\/p>\n
