Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering
Washington State University

Biography:
Pizhong Qiao, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Washington State University, received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Advanced Materials, Solid Mechanics and Structures) from West Virginia University in 1997. Before joining WSU, Dr. Qiao was Assistant/Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Akron from 1999 to 2006 and Research Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at West Virginia University from 1997 to 1999. He is a registered professional engineer (PE) in Structural Engineering (1999 to present) and certified in the practice of structural engineering from Structural Engineering Certification Board (SECB) (2006 to present). He was named a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in recognition of “his significant contributions to civil engineering research, application, and teaching that have advanced the state-of-the-art in theory and practice in the composites area".
