<div class="tab-pane active"> <p>I earned my PhD at Marquette University and then went to work at Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM) as a structural engineer for a number of high-profile, high-rise buildings around the world. After several years, I returned to academia by teaching at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). I continue to consult with various structural engineering companies. Over the course of my career, I have worked on teams to design structures that range from micro-scale bio-sensors to some of the tallest buildings in the world (Burj Dubai, Kunming Junfa Tower). I enjoy applying sustainable, optimization concepts to structural engineering and appreciate a hands-on, collaborative atmosphere of civil engineering. I believe strongly that “civil engineering is a people-oriented profession.”</p> <p>As a structural engineer at SOM, I worked on super-tall building structural systems and innovative facades. My background and research focuses on dynamics and optimization of structural systems. I have also worked to integrate sustainability in structural use of composite materials, specifically engineered-wood and structural glass systems.</p> </div>
