报告人简介：

David Frost received B.A. and B.A.I degrees in Mathematics and Civil Engineering from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland in 1980 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering in 1986 and 1989 from Purdue University, USA. Prior to entering academia, he worked in industry in Ireland and Canada on infrastructure projects ranging from highways to railroads to tailings impoundments to artificial sand islands for oil exploration in the Arctic. At Georgia Tech, he has served as Head of the Geosystems Engineering Group and as a Vice Provost.

His research is centered on the development and implementation of digital data collection systems for studying subsurface problems related to natural and man-made disasters at multiple scales and he has received two U.S. patents for multi-sensor data collection systems. He has graduated more than 30 PhD students, 40% of whom have gone on to academic positions. He has published more than 150 refereed articles and given more than 80 invited seminars and lectures worldwide. He has edited or co-edited more than 10 conference and workshop proceedings. He is a founding member and currently serving as the chair of the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association, an NSF sponsored organization that responds to natural and man-made disasters worldwide. He is the resource recovery research thrust leader and Co-PI for the recently funded NSF Engineering Research Center on Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics.

Frost has been recognized for his teaching and research, including being a recipient of an NSF National Young Investigator Award, the ASCE Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize, the ASTM International Hogentogler Award and he is a Fellow of ASCE. Frost is co-founder of a software company that develops digital data collection software and systems with an emphasis on subsurface information. This company provides data collection and management software systems for more than 400 clients worldwide.
