About the editors
Jan Valentin, Ph.D.: Active in the civil engineering (focus on pavement and road engineering) form more than 15 years. Since2004 employed by Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague. Presently deputy head of the Department of Road Structures and senior researcher. Part time also working as a specialist for the international company HOCHTIEF. He got his Ph.D. from CTU in Prague focusing on cold recycling performance characterization in 2009.
His main areas of research and scientific interest are: recycling, warm mix asphalts, modification of bitumen incl. rubber, performance testing of bitumen and asphalt mixtures focusing actually mainly on deformation behavior. He is further interested in PPP schemes and in introducing digitalization to the road construction industry in the Czech Republic.
Jan represent Czech Republic in the HSE committee of European Asphalt Pavements Association, he is a member of IASS and member of some TC within RILEM.Bibliographic Information
