T.H. WU DISTINGUISHED LECTURE
The T.H. Wu Distinguished Lecture is a signature event in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering (CEGE). Presented yearly, the lecture features prominent scholars and practitioners in the field of geotechnical engineering. The lecture is held in honor of the late Dr. Tien H. Wu, professor emeritus and former chair of CEGE.
2024 T.H. Wu Distinguished Lecture
The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering wishes to thank Dr. Brady R. Cox, professor of geotechnical engineering, Utah State University, for serving as the 2024 T.H. Wu Distinguished Lecturer.
Brady Cox bio
Dr. Cox is a Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Utah State University (USU). Prior to joining USU, he served on the faculty of The University of Texas for eight years and The University of Arkansas for six years.
Dr. Cox specializes in geotechnical engineering, with emphasis on issues related to seismic design and in-situ site characterization for major construction projects and critical nuclear facilities. His research efforts combine experimental field testing with computational analyses and high-performance computing for subsurface imaging and multi-dimensional seismic site response analyses.
Dr. Cox is a recipient of the prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientist and Engineers (PECASE), which he received in a ceremony at the White House from President Barack Obama. He has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications and is the director of the recently formed Utah Earthquake Engineering Center.
We appreciate the students, faculty, staff and practitioners in the geotechnical engineering community who support the lecture event.
We look forward to seeing you in 2025!
