Pizhong Qiao
Pizhong Qiao, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Washington State University, and Founder of Integrated Smart Structures,
Inc. (Copley, Ohio), received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Advanced
Materials, Solid Mechanics and Structures) from West Virginia University in
1997. Before joining WSU, Dr. Qiao was Assistant/Associate Professor of
Civil Engineering at the University of Akron from 1999 to 2006 and Research
Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at West Virginia
University from 1997 to 1999. He is a registered professional engineer (PE)
in Structural Engineering (1999 to present) and certified in the practice of
structural engineering from Structural Engineering Certification Board (SECB)
(2006 to present). He was named a Fellow of the American Society of Civil
Engineers (ASCE) (WSU
Today, April 11, 2007) in recognition of “his significant
contributions to civil engineering research, application, and teaching that
have advanced the state-of-the-art in theory and practice in the composites
area".
