Presidential Young Investigators Award

这是总统青年调查员奖。研究 将包括继续开发仪器和测试 岩土工程领域的设备，以及 扩大对危险废物工程的参与。 超声裂纹发展的研究现状 一种新的地应力测量系统的检测将 继续 危险废物领域的工作将分为两个领域。 首先，开发了一种锥入装置（Envirocone）， 允许地下水和渗流区采样，第二， 联合计划与几个生物学家产生几个 项目;包括Envirocone检测的生物传感器 痕量致癌物，研究生物污染的实验室模型 土工布，和一个潜在的技术， 在土壤中移动细菌

This is a Presidential Young Investigator award. The research will include continued development of instrumentation and testing devices in the area of geotechnical engineering, as well as expansion of involvement in hazardous waste engineering. Current research dealing with the development of ultrasonic crack detection for a new in situ stress measurement system will continue. Work in the hazardous waste area will diverge into two areas. First, development of a cone penetration device (Envirocone) that allows ground water and vadose zone sampling, and second, a combined program with several biologists yielding several projects; including a biosensor for the Envirocone to detect trace carcinogens, a laboratory model to study biocontamination of geotextiles, and a potential technique to electro-osmotically move bacteria through soil.
