#### **Quantao Liu**

Quantao Liu is a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials for Architectures, Wuhan University of Technology. His research interests include functional road materials, self-healing construction materials, and anti-UV ageing technologies of asphalt materials. Specifically, he developed a kind of stress-responsive polymer capsule for asphalt pavements that can release internal healing agent upon vehicle loading. He also developed antioxidant intercalated UV-shielding material, which demonstrated desirable UV-shielding properties and free radical capture properties, and successfully enhanced the anti-thermal oxygen and anti-ultraviolet aging properties of asphalt binder. He has published more than 120 SCI indexed articles in international journals. He has won eight provincial awards for his research and held a dozen grants from NSFC, MoST, MoE, and Hubei province. He has delivered more than 10 invited presentations at international conferences in Italy, USA, Japan, and the Netherlands.
