Doctor Iran Rocha Segundo is an Assistant Researcher and Invited Assistant Professor at CERIS, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. His work lies at the intersection of Civil Engineering, Materials Science, and Applied Physics, focusing on environmentally responsive and multifunctional materials for transport infrastructure. He investigates how optical, thermal, and mechanical properties can be integrated to transform pavements into active systems capable of interacting with solar radiation and the urban climate. He began his work on asphalt materials in 2011 during his Civil Engineering degree at the Federal University of Ceará (Brazil), building a solid foundation in pavement engineering. He later completed his MSc (2018) and PhD (2022) at the University of Minho (Portugal), in an interdisciplinary setting combining civil engineering (CTAC and ISISE) and physics (CF-UM-UP). His career has included research and collaboration across Brazil, Portugal, Spain, and Belgium, linking fundamental science with applied engineering. His research trajectory has evolved from advanced asphalt mixture design to the development of spectrally engineered and responsive pavement systems. He has contributed to photocatalytic and self-cleaning surfaces for air quality improvement, thermochromic and optically adaptive materials for enhanced safety, and phase-change material (PCM) composites for thermal regulation. More recently, his work has focused on chromatic and spectral engineering of infrastructure materials, exploring how solar radiation influences pavement performance through mechanisms such as ageing, photocatalysis, thermochromism, and radiative reflectance. His doctoral research addressed nanomodified, photocatalytic, superhydrophobic, and environmentally active pavements, contributing to safer and more sustainable urban environments. He has been actively involved in several FCT-funded projects, including NanoAir, where he contributed to the development and validation of photocatalytic asphalt systems for urban air pollution mitigation, and MicroCoolPav, focused on thermal regulation strategies. He is currently the Principal Investigator of the (RE)NERGY-BUILD project, dedicated to recycled phase-change composite materials for energy management in construction systems. Under the FCT Scientific Employment Stimulus programme, he also led research on thermochromic road marking systems, integrating optical sensing and adaptive chromatic behaviour into infrastructure. Across these activities, he has consolidated a coherent research line centred on radiation–material interaction in transport infrastructure, combining spectroscopic methods, colorimetric analysis, and thermo-mechanical evaluation to develop climate-adaptive pavement systems. His work supports emerging approaches such as chromatic and spectrally optimized asphalt mixtures for urban heat mitigation. Doctor Rocha Segundo has authored approximately 45 Scopus-indexed publications, with over 1,200 citations and an h-index of 15. His contributions include a highly cited paper in Solid State Communications (top 1% in Physics) and a review in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (IF 16.3), bridging optical materials science and multifunctional asphalt engineering. He has received several awards, including the Young Researcher Award (CINPAR 2024), Best Presentation Award (PFDM 2023), and Scientific Production Awards (ANPET 2022 and 2024). He is currently co-supervising four PhD candidates and two ongoing Master’s theses, and has previously supervised three Master’s dissertations and six undergraduate projects

Durante a sua vida útil, a durabilidade da sinalização horizontal é reduzida devido à presença de sujeira em sua superfície. A habilidade de autolimpeza de materiais vem sendo estudada em substratos como pavimentos asfálticos e tintas arquitetônicas. Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar a capacidade de auto. 2024.

  2. Life cycle assessment of asphalt pavement with photocatalytic capability: Environmental impacts from cradle to gate. The use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on asphalt pavements as surface coating has been the subject of study since these coatings can degrade air pollutants through a photocatalytic process. However, the environmental impacts associated with the functionalization of nanoparticles on the pavement are still unknown. Therefore, this research aims to perform a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of. 2024. Margalho, Élida Melo; Gomes, Igor Samuel Peixoto; Rocha Segundo, Iran Gomes da; Oliveira, Joel R.

  6. Passive sampling for air quality assessment: proposal of an in-situ method to measure the efficiency of photocatalytic pavements. Currently, air pollution is a matter of great relevance due to its significant impact on human health. Semiconductor photocatalysis technology, known for its high efficiency and low environmental degradation, is considered a highly promising means to improve air quality. Asphalt pavements are commonly used in urban areas with high population concentrations. During the production cycle of these pav. 2023.

  7. Reducing the effects of Low Albedo of asphalt materials incorporating Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 1000, 2000 and 4000 as Phase Change Materials (PCM). Albedo plays a vital role in urban microclimates. Civil engineering structures usually absorb a high amount of energy in form of heat, for example asphalt pavements, which have a low albedo, thus contributing to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. Modifying the physical characteristics of asphalt pavements, including reflectance and thermal properties, can help mitigate UHI. The literature points. 2023.

  9. Assessing photocatalytic asphalt mixtures: practical and laboratory methods for measuring air quality. Air pollution in urban areas has become a major global concern, leading to a series of programs and regulations to be implemented to reduce it. Among the various pollutants that affect air quality is nitrogen monoxide (NO), which, once in the atmosphere, oxidizes into nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The combination of NO and NO2 refer to the nitrogen oxides (NOx), which, besides being harmful to health, h. 2023.

  12. Optical, structural, morphological and chemical properties of doped TiO2 nanoparticles with FeCl3. To achieve high photocatalytic activity, TiO2 nanoparticlesrequire an excitation source in ultraviolet radiation. Incorporating chemical elements into the TiO2 lattice can tune its band gap, resulting in an edge-shifted red absorption to reduce energies, improving photocatalytic performance in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this research, TiO2 semiconductor nanoparticles we. 2022. Afonso, Cátia; Segundo, Iran Gomes Rocha; Lima Jr., Orlando; Landi Jr., Salmon; Homem, Natália Cândido; Costa, Manuel F. M.; Freitas, E.

  13. Reducing the impact of the sunlight in urban areas using asphalt mixtures with phase change materials: a review in Scopus in the last three years. Phase change materials (PCMs) have been incorporated into asphalt concrete pavements because they can regulate the temperature by absorbing and releasing heat during physical state changes. This effect reduces temperature gradients of pavements and, consequently, increases its service life.

  16. Superhydrophobic asphalt pavements: surface improvement. The most adverse weather condition for road safety happens when there is water, snow, or ice on the road surface because their presence highly decreases friction. Therefore, it is essential to drain or repel them quickly. If the water drops are repelled from the surface or the ice/snow formation is avoided with the application of superhydrophobic coatings, roads become safer. In order to functiona. 2020.
