Scott Harvey, CEES assistant professor of structural engineering, recently
received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development
(CAREER) Award
for research to advance the analysis, design and implementation of seismic
isolation solutions for buildings and their contents. His research aims to overcome existing
limitations to ensure post-earthquake functionality of mission-critical
equipment in essential facilities.
According to the NSF web site, “the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a
Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most
prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to
serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in
the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by
early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of
leadership in integrating education and research.”
Harvey joined CEES in fall 2014 and is the ninth CEES professor
to receive a CAREER Award. Other recipients include: K.K. Muraleetharan (1995); Randall Kolar (1996); Mark Nanny (1998); Keith Strevett (1998); Michael Mooney (2000); Elizabeth Butler (2001); Tohren Kibbey (2001); and Amy Cerato (2008).
