Dr.
Tomasz Arciszewski is a Professor in the Civil, Environmental
and Infrastructure Engineering Department in the
Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering
at the George Mason University.
Dr.
Arciszewski is currently involved in two areas of
research: evolutionary design and infrastructure
security. In the first area he investigates various
design paradigms, utilizing both single- and multi-population
evolution. His studies are in the context of a large
class of engineering design and planning problems,
including structural design and homeland security.
He is also involved in the development of design
and planning tools based on evolutionary computation.
In the second area, infrastructure security, he
works on the development of a conceptual and computational
foundation for the development of co-evolutionary
design for blast tools.
Presently,
the research of Dr. Arciszewski is supported mainly
by grants from the Defense Thread Reduction Agency.
He has also received research grants from the National
Research Foundation, the NASA Langley Research
Center, also from various state funding organizations,
and from manufacturing companies, including Daimler
Chrysler Corporation.
Dr.
Arciszewski has published more than one hundred thirty
research and technical articles in various journals,
books, and conference proceedings. He is also an
inventor, with patents in the areas of tall buildings
and spaces structures, obtained in three countries
(Canada, Poland, USA). In the professional arena,
he is active in the American Society of Civil Engineers,
where he recently served as the Chair of the Executive
Committee of the Council on Computing and Information
Technology. He currently chairs the Executive Committee
of the ASCE Global Center of Excellence in Computing
and Information Technology. He also serves
as a corresponding member on the ASCE International
Activitees Committee, which mission is to plan and
organize international activities and travel for the
ASCE leaders, including the President.
Dr.
Arciszewski earned his B. Sc. and M. Sc. (Summa Cum
Laude) in Structural Engineering in 1970, and his PhD.
in Technical Sciences in 1975, all from the Warsaw University
of Technology. Before joining George Mason University
in 1994, he was an Associate Professor at Wayne State
University for 10 years. Prior to 1984, he held teaching
positions at the University of Nigeria and at the Warsaw
University of Technology. He has a formal background
in the areas of structural engineering and mechanics
with hands-on design experience in steel space structures
and in general structural engineering gained in Poland
and Switzerland.
In
2004, Dr. Arciszewski received the "ASCE Computing
in Civil Engineering Award" This year he received
the "2006 Intelligent Computing in Engineering Award" from
the European Group for Intelligent Computing in Civil
Engineering.
