Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
I am a full Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Manitoba, and a registered professional engineer in Manitoba, Canada. I received my PhD from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I have experience in construction engineering, working in large-scale projects empowered by US Army Corps of Engineers. I have 20 years of experience in the development and behavior of cementitious materials/concrete, durability of concrete infrastructure under chemical and physical damage mechanisms and prediction of concrete performance by artificial intelligence modeling, with numerous technical publications in these areas. I have transferred this knowledge to various technical and public organizations, for example by participating in developing guidelines for the durability of concrete, a manual for the repair of concrete pavements and novel solutions for cold weather masonry construction. I am an active and voting member of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 201 (Durability of Concrete) and currently the Task Group Chair of Physical Salt Attack on Concrete in this committee. I am also a voting member in ACI 237 (Self-Consolidating Concrete) and 241 (Nanotechnology of Concrete). I am a member of ASTM Committees C01 (Cement) and C09 (Concrete and Concrete Aggregates) and an associate member in CSA A23.1/A23.2 (Concrete Materials and Methods of Concrete Construction/Test Methods and Standard Practices for Concrete). Over the past 10 years, I have trained a large number of undergraduate and graduate students in these areas, performed consulting services to industry and taught professional and development seminars to more than 40 civil engineers from private and public organizations in Canada.
