VITOR FILIPE SILVA ANTUNES

Vitor Filipe Silva Antunes is a researcher at the Faculty of Engineering, focusing on asphalt recycling technologies and sustainable infrastructure materials. His work examines the reuse of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in bituminous mixtures.

• Active in asphalt mixture innovation
• Specializing in RAP multi-recycling
• Investigating plastic waste incorporation in road materials

Recent research involves rejuvenator optimization for RAP mixtures and lifecycle assessment of pavement rehabilitation strategies. Projects include Advancing towards litter-free Atlantic coastal communities, targeting macro/micro litter reduction through collaborative engineering solutions.

Key contributions span bitumen rheology, asphalt durability, and environmental impact analysis. Collaborations extend to European research teams, with a focus on material characterization using dynamic shear rheometers.
