EDUCATION:

 

Formal:

 

Doctor of Philosophy (Civil Engineering), University of Florida, May, 1986. Concentration in materials, pavements, and geotechnical engineering with additional coursework in engineering mechanics, statistics, and geology.  Dissertation was on low temperature response of asphalt concrete pavements, which involved instrumentation and testing of full-scale roads at different temperatures under laboratory controlled conditions, laboratory testing of materials at different temperatures, and development and evaluation of theoretical models.

 

Master of Engineering (Civil Engineering), University of Florida, December, 1979.  Concentration in geotechnical engineering and structures with additional coursework in design and control of concrete and construction management.  Thesis was on the development and evaluation of internally sealed concrete.

 

Bachelor of Science in (Civil Engineering), with honors, University of Florida, August, 1978.  Supplemented courses needed for graduation with courses in structural design.

 

Continuing:

 

Completed a half-day course on "Preparing Documents for the World Wide Web", CIRCA, University of Florida, April, 1997.

 

Served as an expert reviewer and completed a one-week course titled “Superpave Asphalt Mixture Analysis: Advanced Course,” sponsored by Federal Highway Administration, Office of Technology Applications.  Lexington, KY (The Asphalt Institute), February, 1996.

 

Completed a one-day seminar titled “Superpave Level I Mixture Design,” Tampa, FL, March, 1995.

 


 

Completed a two-day short-course titled "Pavement and Road Surface Management for Local Agencies", sponsored by the Pavement Division, Federal Highway Administration.  Orlando, FL, September, 1994.

 

Completed an intensive one-week course titled "Fracture Mechanics and Fatigue:  A Modern View With Applications to Engineering Design"; Union College, Schenectady, NY; June, 1993.

 

Completed an intensive one-month "Professor Training Course in Asphalt Technology" at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) and sponsored by the National Asphalt Paving Association, June, 1988.

 

Attended seminar "University Marketing to the U. S. Government for Funded Research Projects," given by Dr. Marshall H. Kaplan of Research & Acquisition Services, Melbourne, FL, and sponsored by the College of Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, September 10, 1988.

 

Completed a "Teaching Effectiveness Seminar" given by Dr. James J. Canelos, College of Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, September 6‑12, 1988.

 

 

PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION:

 

Registered Professional Engineer since 1985.  State of Florida.

 

 

PROFESSIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE:

 

Professor, Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering, The University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.  August 1999 to present.

 

Director, Center for Pavements and Infrastructure Materials, The University of Florida, August 2000 to present

 

Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.  July 1994 to August 1999.

 

Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, and Faculty Associate, Pennsylvania Transportation Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania.  August 1988 to June 1994.

 

Have developed and taught undergraduate and graduate courses in materials, pavements, and geotechnical engineering.  Research interests include laboratory testing and characterization of asphaltic materials and mixtures; relationship between asphalt cement and asphalt mixture properties and pavement performance; effective beneficial reuse and recycling of construction materials; in situ destructive/nondestructive testing and evaluation of flexible and rigid pavement systems and soils; pavement design and analysis; and portland cement concrete.
