overview
Dr. Amy Epps Martin has more than 21 years of experience teaching materials courses and conducting research at Texas A&M University. She actively publishes and presents her research at regional, national, and international conferences and workshops on safe, sustainable asphalt technologies including mixtures with high reclaimed asphalt Pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) contents, warm mix asphalt (WMA), and porous friction course (PFC) and performance-graded chip seal binders.
