Dr. Head will be showcasing her extensive research and experience in the area of performance-based bridge design and this talk can be used to promote work for which the public has a vested interest and for which a community of scholars can engage in fruitful discussions to advance our nation in terms of its needed infrastructure investment and idea generation for renewable energy. Dr. Monique Hite Head is a native of Newark, Delaware. She received her bachelor and master of civil engineering degrees from the University of Delaware in 2000 and 2002, respectively, and her doctorate in structural engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in May 2007. Currently, Dr. Head is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering. Prior to this position, she was a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. Dr. Head's research and teaching interests include experimental testing, detailed analytical modeling using state-of-the-art software to study the responses of bridges, structural dynamics, earthquake engineering, multi-hazard mitigation, seismic retrofitting of bridges and other critical structures, performance-based bridge design using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials, and evidence-based structural informatics This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
