Modern Steel Construction's Field Notes podcast! Hear from prominent, engaging people from the world of structural steel. Geoff Weisenberger hosts.
University of Cincinnati professor Jim Swanson's initial career interest was the farthest thing from structural engineering. His swift pivot to it in college has led to a three-decade career in academia and an expertise in bolted joints.
Longtime bridge engineer Domenic Coletti has worked on countless bridges and research projects since HDR hired him in 1993, but to him, they’re secondary to the long-lasting human connections he has made in a "small world."
Karl Frank's decorated five-decade career in steel bridges has included teaching, impactful research projects, and even a study on maglev trains.
Switzerland-based professor Dimitrios Lignos has spent the last 10 years building a worldwide hub for seismic design and assessment resources and past research.
Andy Ziccarelli traded private practice for academia and has quickly become a prominent figure in studying steel members' behavior at extreme limit states.
Ken Charles' steel industry career started because of an unexpected swerve. But it has turned into nearly five decades at joist and deck companies and recently earned him AISC recognition.
Jerry Hajjar once planned to spend his entire career as a practicing engineer, but an affinity for research pulled him into academia, where he has found a passion for sustainability, resilience, and earthquake engineering.
As a student, Amit Varma had visions of doing impactful steel design research. A quarter-century later, he has made significant contributions in three important areas.
A chance to fill in as an adjunct professor pulled Matt Reiter toward a full-time academic career. Five years in, he teaches various design classes and is developing guiding principles for an engineering buzzword.
Jaclyn Whelan has focused on railway bridges for her entire engineering career and recently led a task group that developed a vital new resource for designing them.
