Biography
David V. Rosowsky, Ph.D., P.E., F. ASCE
Dr. David V. Rosowsky is Professor and Head of the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering at Texas A&M University. He is also the holder of the A.P. and Florence Wiley Chair in Civil Engineering. Since 1990, his research has been in the areas of structural reliability, probabilistic modeling of structural and environmental loads, and probability-based design. His current research addresses four topics: (1) behavior of the built environment subject to natural hazards, (2) modeling and analysis of load effects on buildings and other structures, with particular emphasis on complex environmental phenomena, (3) performance-based engineering for design, post-disaster condition assessment, and loss estimation studies, and (4) reliability-based assessment of reinforced concrete bridges. He also teaches classes in structural analysis and design, mechanics, and probabilistic methods.
Dr. Rosowsky serves on a number of ASCE technical committees relating to structural safety, reliability-based design of engineered wood structures, and design for natural hazards. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the ASCE Journal of Infrastructure Systems and was formerly an Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering and Natural Hazards Review . Dr. Rosowsky has received a number of research awards including the ASCE Norman Medal in 1998 and the ASCE Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize in 2001. Prior to coming to Texas A&M University in Fall 2004, Dr. Rosowsky was a professor at Oregon State University where he held the Richardson Chair in Wood Engineering and Mechanics.
