    Dr. Fan Yin is an Assistant Director at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) in the United States. He received his B.S. in Transportation Engineering from Southeast University, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University. His research expertise includes balanced mix design, advanced asphalt materials characterization, and sustainable pavement materials. Dr. Yin has served as a PI or Co-PI on research projects with over $4.5 million in grants. He has over 60 publications and made over 70 presentations at national and international conferences, webinars, and workshops.

    Use of recycled plastics in asphalt has gained increasing interest among the asphalt pavement industry and the plastics industry worldwide. Social media and other news outlets have trumpeted this as a golden opportunity to improve the longevity of asphalt pavements while eliminating the waste plastic crisis. However, science development and research and development (R&D) efforts in this area are still at an early very stage. This webinar will discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of recycled plastics in asphalt from the 3E (i.e., engineering, environment, and economics) perspective. Furthermore, the webinar will present NCAT’s cutting-edge research on the asphalt binder formulation, asphalt mixture characterization, and pavement performance modeling of asphaltic materials containing recycled plastics.
