    Yes, That sounds interesting. My research interests lie in geoenvironmental engineering, geomechanics and deep foundations. But, I am looking to pursue a Ph.D. soon and I was researching new and upcoming areas.

    We can have research by introducing a permeability test for sub base course because in the philosophy of pavement we called sub base a drainage layer but in reality it is not the case and usually we need research to make the sub base permeable and to introduce a test for sub base.

    Aditya, 

    I am working in the industry of road construction in Pakistan, however, I am also taking lectures in university and I am also running a state of art  material testing laboratory. My area of interest is pavement materials it's suitability and pavement design. I am also doing some light research with students regarding material behavior under load and what is required or specified from the material for providing a sustainable pavement structure. I have found this efficiency in sub base therefore, I have recommended it to you for research. If you need my help, please inform me.  

    Thanks and regards,
