Sawda Mohamed Muuse, a PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). My research focuses on thermal management of asphalt and cement-based materials, with particular interest in radiative cooling and advanced material solutions for reducing heat accumulation. I hold a MSc in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Transportation Engineering from National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan. My previous research focused on asphalt binder aging and the performance-based optimization of bio-rejuvenators using rheological and performance characterization. My current work builds on my background in asphalt materials while exploring interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable thermal management.
