DOCTORAL STUDENTSIntroduction [Biosketch]
- Dr. Ambika Kuity completed her B.Tech in Civil Engineering from Haldia Institute of Technology. After that, she did M.E. from IIEST Shibpur in the specialization of Highway & Traffic Engineering and her thesis work was related to improvisation of strength property of subgrade layer by using laterite soil and prediction model by ANN. In her masters, she Received Silver medal for securing 1st position in M.E. among PG students of Civil Engineering department, IIEST Shibpur. Then she joined IIT Kanpur for pursuing PhD in the area of pavement engineering. She awarded PhD degree on 5th March, 2018. Her PhD dissertation topic was “Studies on the effect of distribution of aggregates on the mechanical response of asphalt mix”. During PhD work, she won 1st prize in Micrography contest (Diminuto’15) held at IIT Kanpur on March, 2015. Also, she was post-doctoral fellow at IIT Bombay and worked in advance pavement laboratory. Before that she acted as guest faculty at IIEST, Shibpur from Jan, 2018 to June, 2018. Also, she acted as reviewer for two international journals and two international conferences. She has 6 SCI journal papers and 8 conference papers from her PhD and Masters work. Her area of research interests is on asphalt mix characterization, microscopic study on asphalt mix, rheological characterization of asphalt binders, reclaimed asphalt pavement material characterization
