" Dr. Mazen Al-Kheetan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Mutah University in Jordan. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from Brunel University London, UK in 2019, after earning his Master's degree in Civil Engineering from The University of Nottingham, UK in 2015, and his BEng degree in Civil Engineering from Mutah University, Jordan in 2011.

In addition to his academic role, Dr. Al-Kheetan is serving as an Assistant Dean of Quality Assurance since October 2023. From September 2020 to September 2021, he was the Head of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Mutah University. He is also an Associate Editor at Results in Engineering journal (Elsevier) and the Journal of Transport, published by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), UK, and an Editorial Board Member at the International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology (Springer). Dr. Al-Kheetan is a regular reviewer for numerous international journals in his field, including the International Journal of Pavement Engineering (Taylor & Francis), Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering (ASCE), Journal of Building Engineering (Elsevier), Construction and Building Materials (Elsevier), Results in Engineering (Elsevier), Royal Society Open Science (The Royal Society), KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering (Springer), JOM The Journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (Springer), Structural Concrete (Wiley), Transportation Research Record (SAGE), ACS Applied Materials &Interfaces, Building Research and Information (Taylor & Francis), among others.

Prior to joining Mutah University, Dr. Al-Kheetan worked as a Research Assistant at Brunel University London from March 2016 to May 2019. During this time, he collaborated with Professors Mujib Rahman and Denis Chamberlain on several projects focused on topics such as performance enhancement of bitumen and asphalt mixtures, concrete pavement protection, and moisture blocking materials in the preservation of heritage structures.

Dr. Al-Kheetan also has industry experience working as a Project Engineer at Habash-Deir Contracting Company from 2011 to 2014, where he contributed to the Abdali Mall Project and Queen Alia International Airport Project in Amman.

He has authored and co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed international journal and conference articles, with research interests that include innovation in composites science and technology, additive manufacturing, concrete pavement protection, and mechanical properties of cold mix asphalt mixtures.
