National Science Foundation's CAREER award. He
received the NSF-EPSCoR Scholarly Productivity Award, for two
years in a row (1995 and 1996), for research performance, intrinsic
merit of research work, and for potential in research. He served
as the Associate Director of the University Transportation Center
for Alabama from 1998 to 2000. He organized three NSF International
conferences in 1994, 1996 and 2005. He has served as principal
or co-principal investigator on research projects whose cumulative
funding exceeds $4.0 million. He is the author/co-author of over
125 publications in the areas of FRP composites, cementitious
composite materials and lunar construction materials and design
and edited three major conference proceedings. He is the graduate
program director at UAH. He is the Faculty Advisor for the UAH/ASCE
Chapter. The UAH/ASCE Chapter has won more national championships
in the Concrete Canoe Competition—a total of 5 national
championships— than any other university in the nation.
He is the Associate Editor of the ASCE Materials Journal. He has
directed numerous Doctoral and Master's students to completion.
