Meet Our Researcher
Dr. Romero is an associate professor in the department of civil engineering. His research focuses on developing better practices and products in design, construction, and maintenance of the infrastructure. His research includes use of new materials to build roads, incorporation of recycled materials such as recycled asphalt pavements to maximize resources, development of warm-mix asphalt technology specifications to save energy and cost, and better characterization of construction materials at different temperatures to achieve superior performance. This work is the result of a trend towards a more sustainable infrastructure design which results in longer lasting roads with lower carbon footprint. He holds a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in civil engineering from Penn State University and is a registered professional engineering in the state of Maryland.
