Scott Ashford’s career with Oregon State University began in the early 1980s, when he was a civil engineering undergrad hired to stack rocks for a riprap study at the Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. Now, as Kearney Dean of Engineering, he oversees the 7th largest college of engineering in the nation, with nearly 400 faculty and staff and serving nearly 12,000 students. He considers this to be a lot more gratifying than stacking rocks.
I’m a Research Associate in Structural Engineering at Oregon State University working with Prof. Michael H. Scott. My research focuses on the nonlinear fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM). All the work are implemented in the OpenSees framework.
Dr. Yim has been at Oregon State University since 1987 and is currently the Glenn Willis Holcomb Professor of Structural Engineering in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering. He is the principal investigator of the 10-year NSF Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Tsunami Research Facility Site Operation Project. His research focuses on fluid and structural mechanics in the marine environment using high-performance computing based multi-physics, multi-scale and multi-domain systems methods.
Harry Yeh joined the faculty of Oregon State University in 2003, and is a Professor of Civil and Construction Engineering. His expertise is in the field of hydrodynamics associated with natural hazards, especially those in a wide variety of tsunami-related problems. His extensive experience of field studies includes the 1992 Nicaragua tsunami, the 1992 Flores tsunami, the 1993 Okushiri tsunami, the 1994 Shikotan tsunami, the 1996 Peru tsunami, the 1998 Papua New Guinea tsunami, the 2004 Great Indian Ocean tsunami, and the most recent 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan.
Dr. Meagan Wengrove is a coastal engineer and scientist who leads the Coastal Boundary Dynamics Research Group at Oregon State University. Our research focus is to understand the physics of natural and engineered coastal systems.
Jason Weiss is the Edwards Distinguished Chair in Engineering. Before joining Oregon State as the Head of the School of Civil and Construction Engineering (2015-2020) he was a faculty member at Purdue University for over 16 years where he held the position of the Jack and Kay Hockema Professor of Civil Engineering and Director of the Pankow Materials Laboratory. He earned a B.A.E. from the Pennsylvania State University and a MS and PhD from Northwestern University in 1997 and 1999 respectively.
Brian Weaver, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor (Senior Research) of Geomatics in the school of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Geomatics at Oregon State University, and Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on GNSS-based geodesy at the University of Nottingham. His research expertise includes development of satellite radar altimetry and GNSS data processing algorithms for high-accuracy applications and alignment of geodetic data to the national reference frame. Dr.
Dr. Wang teaches classes at the undergraduate and graduate level on topics including; transportation engineering, transportation system planning and analysis, traffic flow theory and control, and traffic simulation.
Dr. Yelda Turkan is an associate professor in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University. She holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo in Canada. She holds BS degrees (double major) in Civil Engineering and Geomatics Engineering, as well as a MS degree in Remote Sensing, all from Istanbul Technical University. Dr. Turkan’s research interests and experience are centered on computer vision and machine learning applications for a sustainable and resilient Built Environment.
Dr. Armin W. Stuedlein is a licensed professional engineer and Professor of Geotechnical Engineering in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Oregon State University. Armin received his MS and PhD in geotechnical engineering from Syracuse University (2003) and the University of Washington (2008), respectively. He joined the faculty at OSU in 2009 after consulting for Seattle-based firms, where he specialized in port and harbor engineering with an emphasis on foundation and earthquake engineering.
