David Hale, Director
Aging Infrastructure Systems Center of Excellence
Office: 106 Bevill Research Building
Phone: (205) 348-5525
Email: dhale@cba.ua.edu
Center Interests: The creation of an integrated body of knowledge for aging infrastructure systems command and control systems that crosses multiple fields of study. Support areas include decision support, enterprise integration and modeling, collaborative human-computer problem-solving systems, economics, component-based software development, manufacturing systems, and software maintenance.
Bio: Dr. Hale's research has resulted in over 50 scholarly and IS professional publications in journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Hale's research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Commerce, Accenture, Alabama Department of Transportation, Computer Sciences Corporation, the KPMG Peat Marwick Research Foundation, Procter and Gamble, Sterling Software, Texas Instruments, and the University Transportation Centers of Alabama. He has consulted for Acuity, AT&T, Tenneco, EDS, Exxon-Mobil, FedEx, Georgia-Pacific, Home Depot, Procter and Gamble, Rohm and Haas, Sterling Software, and Texas Instruments.
Dr. Hale was honored by The University of Alabama in 2001 by being named the University’s Blackmon-Moody Outstanding Professor and in 2002 his faculty colleagues in the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration presented him with the Thomas Moore Endowed Undergraduate Teaching Award.
Ken Fridley, Department Head
Department of Civil Engineering
Office: 262 H.M. Comer
Phone: (205) 348-6550
Email: kfridley@coe.eng.ua.edu
Center Interests: Dr. Fridley’s research interests are in the general areas of structural engineering and mechanics with emphasis on the analysis, laboratory testing, and behavior modeling of structural materials, components and systems, including time-dependent material behavior and structural response (visco-plasticity, creep-rupture, etc.)
Bio: Dr. Fridley is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and currently serves as chair of the Society's Structural Engineering Institute's Technical Activities Committee on Wood. Dr. Fridley is also an active member of the Institute's Standards Committee on Engineered Wood Construction, which oversees the development and administration of the LRFD standard for wood construction. Additionally, Dr. Fridley serves on the American Forest & Paper Association, American Wood Council's Wood Design Standards Committee, which is responsible for, among other items, the development and administration of the National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction.
In 2002, Dr. Fridley was recognized for his accomplishments in the area of wood engineering with the Wood Engineering Achievement Award from the Forest Products Society. Citing his many contributions to the understanding of wood as an engineering material, particularly the time-related behavior of wood, and his dedication to wood engineering education, Dr. Fridley was given the Wood Engineering Achievement Award under the award's Young Engineer criteria.
