Overview
Dr. Melton is interested in the use of recycled materials
to create aggregates for use in bound and unbound applications. Specifically,
he is interested in characterizing the physical and mechanical properties
of recycled material aggregates in order to determine the best use of
the material. Dr. Melton will also be collaborating with Dr. Kevin Gardner
to find beneficial uses for stabilized contaminated sediment.

Bio
Dr. Melton received a B.A. in Physics in 1991 from Hamilton College,
an M.S. in Ocean Engineering in 1994 from the University of New Hampshire,
and a Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences in 1999 from the Thayer School of
Engineering, Dartmouth College. From 2000-2002, he was a Research Hydraulic
Engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Coastal and Hydraulics
Laboratory in Vicksburg, MS. He presently is a Research Assistant Professor
of Civil Engineering and Outreach Program Director for the Recycled Materials
Research Center.
