I hold an MSc in Road and Transportation Engineering and currently work as a university lecturer. My areas of expertise include road traffic accident analysis, its economic impacts, and pavement material characterization. I have received training in HDP, coding, and participated in master class training(e-SHE). Additionally, I have knowledge in Surveying Engineering and a strong interest in pursuing a PhD in innovative pavement materials
