EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Master of Science in Structural Engineering & Mechanics
Oklahoma State University (OSU), Stillwater, OK May 2012
GPA: 3.7
Thesis: Optimization of Aggregate Gradation & Concrete Maturity
Accomplishments
Part of research team which led to the development of optimizing the aggregate gradation in order to
reduce the cement binder, implemented on 2.2 miles of highway FM 1938 in Ft. Worth, Texas. The
mixture design developed by OSU was able to reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete by 25% and
reduce cost by 10%, while providing a pavement with a longer life-expectancy and satisfactory strength.
