Murad Y. Abu-Farsakh, Ph.D., P.E. Dr. Abu-Farsakh received his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering in 1997 from Louisiana State University (LSU). Currently he is working as a Research Professor and Director of Geotechnical Engineering Research Laboratory at the Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) / College of Engineering, LSU. Dr. Abu-Farsakh has a vast knowledge and experience on research related to geotechnical and pavement engineering, deep foundation, geosynthetics, field instrumentations and monitoring, advanced laboratory and in-situ testing, soil-structure interaction and finite element numerical modeling. Dr. Abu-Farsakhs research is highly appreciated by the professional community, which resulted in a scholarly record of 160+ publications including 110 Journal and Geotechnical Special Publications. He gave about 100 presentation to national and international conferences. Dr. Abu-Farsakh supervised 7 Ph.D. and 14 M.S. students and is currently advising an additional 4 Ph.D. and 4 M.S. students. Dr. Abu-Farsakh is currently serving as a member of several national and international committees, such as ASCE Geo-Institute committee on Deep Foundation, ASCE Geo-Institute committee on Engineering Geology and Site Characterization, ASCE Geo-Institute committee on Geosynthetics, TRB committee on Soil and Rock Properties, TRB committee on Geosynthetics, and a member of Deep Foundation Institute, DFI. Dr. Abu-Farsakh was the Technical Publication Committee Chair/Editor of Geo-Congress 2014, Geo-Characterization and Modeling for Sustainability, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Khalid A. Alshibli, Ph.D., PE. Professor Khalid Alshibli is currently serving as a faculty member at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Tennessee-Knoxville (UTK).
