Biography

Prof. Dr. Nabil F. Grace, university distinguished professor, was appointed dean of Lawrence Technological University’s College of Engineering (COE) in 2011. The College’s degree offerings are among of the largest and most diverse in Michigan and include two doctoral, 11 master’s, l1 bachelor’s, and 2 associate programs. Dr. Grace was very instrumental in initiating the COE graduate programs. Also, was responsible on developing new undergraduate programs such as Architectural Engineering, Robotic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Imbedded Software Engineering. Grace is the founding director of Lawrence Tech’s Center for Innovative Materials Research (CIMR), one of the largest and most comprehensive infrastructure laboratories in the nation, and also founding director of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Center of Excellence of Infrastructure that has been funded by MDOT and FHWA for a number of years. Grace’s prolific research in CIMR has been leading to massive improvements in the durability, life, safety, and ultimately the cost of transportation-related infrastructure, particularly highway bridges. He has been awarded dozens of federal, state, and private research grants and contracts totaling nearly $28 million. For the first time in the COE history, LTU received two large pool-fund research projects jointly supported by seven DOTs.These grants have helped finance the construction of CIMR, the purchase of state-of-the art testing equipment such as the environmental/loading chamber, fire/loading chamber, and hundreds of tests aimed at determining the life, durability, and performance of new materials. This testing has provided hundreds of Lawrence Tech students, from the bachelor’s to doctoral level, with first-hand real- world experiences that have prepared them for outstanding careers. Grace is one of the world’s leading experts in the use of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer composites to replace steel in bridge construction, and has conducted extensive research on a variety of applications for reinforced polymer materials. Using those composites virtually eliminate corrosion caused by salt and other chemicals and double the lifespan of bridges. His work has led to campus visits by Michigan governor, two U.S. senators, several members of Congress, and numerous representatives of state agencies and private companies. Grace was invited by a governor to participate in a trade mission to Japan that led a Japanese manufacturer of carbon fiber strands to build a plant in Michigan-within close proximity to CIMR, the first in the U.S., and hire Michigan workers. Grace began teaching at Lawrence Tech in 1988 and was appointed chairman of what is today LTU’s Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering in 2002. Grace is the first Dean of the COE to achieve a six-year ABET accreditation for all engineering programs. He founded Innovation, the College of Engineering’s annual magazine, distributed to collegiate and practicing engineering leaders, and well as LTU engineering alumni, nationwide A native of Egypt who earned his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Cairo University, Grace came to the United States by way of the University of Windsor, where he earned his master’s degree in 1981 and PhD in 1986. He was a group leader at Giffels Associates before coming to Lawrence Tech.

Biography

Prof. Dr. Yichang (James) Tsai is a professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and also an adjunct professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech. Dr. Tsai received his Ph.D. (1996) and MS (1994) from Georgia Tech.He received his BS (1987) from National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan. Dr. Tsai’s research focuses on 1) Smart Cities: Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure Asset Health Condition Assessment, Preservation, and Management, 2)Roadway Safety Condition Assessment, Prediction, and Management, 3) Applications of Emerging Sensing Technologies, including 2D imaging, 3D lasers, 3D LiDAR, UAV, and smart phones, and GPS/GIS technologies with machine learning. Dr. Tsai has developed and successfully implemented the complex, large-scale, GIS-based, Risk-based Georgia Pavement Management System (GPAMS) for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). GDOT has used this system to assess, preserve, and manage its 18,000 centerline miles of highway over the past 20 years. Dr. Tsai is a worldwide leader in the development and implementation of automated pavement distress detection and diagnosis (e.g., cracking, rutting, pothole, raveling, etc.), using 3D laser technology with computer vision and machine learning. Dr. Tsai’s leadership has great national impact as evidenced by his development of an open-format 2D/3D Pavement Surface Image (.PSI) that has become the US national standard; this standard also established the linkage between pavement with CAV industries. Dr. Tsai and his research team have been competitively selected for a research project sponsored by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP 01-60) on the calibration, validation, and verification of 3D pavement surface data to establish a national standard for measuring 2D/3D pavement data quality.Dr. Tsai’s research project entitled “Implementation of Automatic Sign Inventory and Pavement Condition Evaluation on Georgia’s Interstate Highways” has been competitively selected for the 2017 AASHTO High Value Research (HVR) Award because of its innovation and broad impact using 3D technologies and machine learning (https://ce.gatech.edu/news/national-group-honors-research-using-lasers-and-ai-automatically-assess-health-highway-pavement).Dr. Tsai has servedon the technical committee of the United States National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 20-102 (06) Road Markings for Machine Vision, andNCHRP 20-102 (28)) “Prepared for Transportation Agencies in Workzones for Autonomous and Connected Vehicles”, two of 34 connected and automated vehicles research projects sponsored by the USDOT. He is also on the technical committee of the AFD 10 Pavement Management Systems of the Transportation Research Board in the National Academies. Since 2010, he has served as the Associate Editor of theASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering.
