Dr. Souliman is an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Tyler. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. from Arizona State University in Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering focusing on Pavement Engineering. His twelve years of experience are concentrated on pavement materials design, Fatigue Endurance Limit of Asphalt Mixtures, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) mixtures, aggregate quality, field performance evaluation, maintenance and rehabilitation techniques, pavement management systems, cement treated bases, statistical analyses, modeling, and computer applications in civil engineering.
Dr. Souliman has participated in several state and national projects during his current employment at the University of Texas at Tyler including “Documenting the Impact of Aggregate Quality on Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Performance, Texas Department of Transportation” for TxDOT, “Mechanistic and Economic Benefits of Fiber-Reinforced Overlay Asphalt Mixtures” for Forta Corporation as well as “Simplified Approach for Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavements at the Network Level” which was funded by the US Department of Transportation via Tran-SET University Transportation Center.
Dr. Souliman has also participated in several state and national projects during his employment at Arizona State University and University of Nevada, Reno. He had previously worked as a postdoctoral scholar at University of Nevada, Reno with the materials and transportation group. He had participated in several national research projects such as the FHWA Project titled “Analysis Procedures for Evaluating Superheavy Load Movement on Flexible Pavements” as well as Asphalt Research Consortium (ARC) Projects including “Design System for HMA Containing a High Percentage of RAP Material”. Before that, he had worked at Arizona State University where he was the major contributor in the NCHRP 9-44A project entitled “Validating an Endurance Limit for HMA Pavements: Laboratory Experiment and Algorithm Development”.
Dr. Souliman has more than 100 technical publications, conference papers and reports in the field of pavement and aggregate testing, characterization, and field monitoring. He is the recipient of the lifetime International Road Federation Fellowship in 2009. In 2017, his research work on pavement engineering-related projects earned recognition as his college’s recipient of the Crystal Talon Award, sponsored by the Robert R. Muntz Library, recognizing outstanding scholarship and creativity of faculty from each college as determined by their dean. He also was awarded with the Crystal Quill award in 2018 by the University of Texas at Tyler for his research efforts and achievements.
