Research Interests

Dr. Glover’s research focuses on asphalt materials rheological properties, oxidation kinetics, and developing a thermal and oxygen transport model for the oxidation of asphalt binders in pavements. Additionally, he collaborates with researchers in the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering and the Texas Transportation Institute on the effects of binder oxidation on pavement performance such as age-related fatigue cracking, aggravated by binder oxidation.
