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. His research has been published in over 150 peer-reviewed publications, and focuses on ground improvement and liquefaction mitigation, in-situ and laboratory-based testing for liquefaction and cyclic softening, experimental and numerical investigations of soil-structure interaction, and probabilistic geotechnical analyses. His research is funded by various departments of transportation and research centers, the National Science Foundation, and industry partners. He is the Vice Chair of the Soil Improvement Committee (ASCE G-I), an Editor at the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering and the Journal of the Deep Foundations Institute, and Editorial Board member for Georisk and the Canadian Geotechnical Journal. Professor Stuedlein received the 2013 Deep Foundations Institute Young Professor Award, the 2015 Associate Editor of the Year Award for JGGE, and the 2017 ASTM Award for Outstanding Article on the Practice of Geotechnical Testing, among others.
