Grant Mickle Award (2006), Limoges Medal of Merit (2004), STS Research Award (1993), Virginia Tech College of Engineering Dean’s Award for Research Excellence (2001), ASCE Outstanding Instructor Award (2006), Illinois Center for Transportation Research Award (2012, 2015), Engineering Council Award for Excellence in Advising (2010), as well as several best paper awards. His achievements were profiled in the TRNews of the National Academies in the November-December 2006 issue. Al-Qadi is the past President of the Board of Governors of the ASCE Transportation and Development Institute. He also served as Group Leader of ISAP Technical Committee on Interlayer Systems, a member of the USDOT Truck Size and Weight Study National Committee, and as a member of the TRB Operation and Maintenance Group. He is the past chair of TRB Preservation and Maintenance Section; TRB Subcommittee on Interlayer Systems to Control Reflective Cracking (founder); TRB Committee AHD25 on Sealants and Fillers for Joints and Cracks; TRB Subcommittee AFS70-2 on Geosynthetics in Flexible Pavement Systems (founder); ASCE Highway Pavement Committee; and ASCE Design, Construction, and Maintenance Executive Council. His service record also includes the role of chair/co-chair of many international conferences, such as the 5th, 6th, and 7th RILEM International Conference on Pavement Cracking; 2006 International NDE Conference on Civil Engineering; Advanced Characterization of Pavement and Soil Engineering Materials; 2006, 2010, 2013, 2017, and 2019 International Airfield and Highway Pavement Conferences; and the First ASCE Transportation and Development Institute Congress. Al-Qadi is a member of several technical committees and a member of the State Transportation Innovation Leadership Team-Illinois. He is an emeritus of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and a member of the Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists (AAPT), North American Geosynthetic Society (NAGS), International Society of Asphalt Pavements (ISAP), International Geosynthetic Society (IGS), American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), International Association of Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (IACMAG), and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Al-Qadi’s scholarly record features 600+ authored/co-authored publications, more than 350 of which are fully refereed papers (250 in periodic journals). His research resulted in the development of new tests, testing specifications, advanced modeling and simulation of pavement loading, pavement layer interface and crack development, and analysis of radar electromagnetic wave interactions with civil engineering materials, roads, and bridges. Al-Qadi presented the outcome of his research at 600+ national and international conferences and international meetings, including numerous invited keynote and distinguished lectures. He has served as principal investigator of 120+ projects, with funding in excess of $100 million, sponsored by various federal, state, and international agencies and industry. He has also managed more than 230 projects sponsored by ICT. Al-Qadi has consulted for numerous federal, state, and major public agencies in the U.S. and abroad, including the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), BP Amoco, Michelin, Bekaert, Maccaferri, DMJM+HARRIS, ARAMCO, and Koch. 3. Hasan Ozer is an associate professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at the Arizona State University, Tempe, USA. His research focuses on pavement materials characterization, pavement design and analysis, and development of rehabilitation and preservation programs. Ozer develops computational mechanics methods for structural performance modeling of pavements and uses life-cycle assessment tools for advancing sustainable transportation infrastructure. 4.
