I am active in Transportation Research Board (TRB) activities, and currently serve as an at-large member of the Design and Construction Group AF000.  I am a member and former Chair of TRB Committee AFN20, Properties of Concrete and a member of TRB Committee AFN30, Durability of Concrete.  I was am also active in the Carolinas Chapter of the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) (2015 President Carolinas Chapter).  I am also member of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and advise the UNC Charlotte ACI student chapter.
