textbooks. His research interests include rheological characterisation of bituminous binders; durability of asphalt materials; the use of secondary and recycled materials in pavement applications; the use of thermodynamic approaches to moisture damage characterisation and the development of aggregate and bitumen adhesion testing methodologies; and the multiscale modelling and testing of bitumen-mineral aggregate systems. Professor Airey is also an active member on numerous technical committees of both ISAP and the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM) as well as Director of the National Asphalt Research Consortium (NARC) in the UK.

Mujib Rahman is Professor in Civil Engineering and Head of Department of Civil Engineering at Aston University. With over 20 years of experience in pavement engineering as a researcher and consultant, he has made significant contributions to more than 100 research and consultancy projects and has written many technical reports on pavement design and evaluation reports, published over 100 journal and conference articles and has also authored a book on the deterioration of pavement. His research interests primarily focus on the characterisation of asphalt materials, protection and durability of porous construction material, pavement maintenance and rehabilitation, with a special emphasis on utilising sensor technology for defect detection and quantification, as well as asset management. In addition to his research and academic contributions, Professor Rahman has served as the Chief Editor for the ICE Transport journal and currently serves as an editorial board member for various prominent journals.

Haopeng Wang is Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Liverpool. Before joining the University of Liverpool, he was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellow sponsored by the European Union's flagship funding program Horizon 2020 at the University of Nottingham from 2021 to 2023. He received his Ph.D. degree from Delft University of Technology in 2021. His research interests include multiphysics modelling of pavement materials and structures, polymer physics and chemistry, micromechanics of infrastructure materials, damage mechanisms in asphalt mixture (fracture, fatigue and healing), and sustainable pavement materials and technologies. He has an internationally recognised track record of publications in the fields of sustainable asphalt materials and engineering mechanics. Dr. Wang is a member of several international academic associations, e.g., Transportation Research Board (TRB), RILEM, International Society for Asphalt Pavements (ISAP), Academy of Pavement Science and Engineering (APSE), and International Association of Chinese Infrastructure Professionals (IACIP). He is the recipient of several academic awards from prestigious international associations and conferences. He is also actively involved in organising academic conferences, e.g., Transportation Research Congress (TRC) and Chinese-European Workshop on functional pavements (CEW). He also participates in several industrial innovations.
