UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State’s multifaceted expertise in advanced bridge research was showcased in a special report produced in April by WHYY Keystone Crossroads, a multi-station public media project focusing on distressed Pennsylvania cities. The profile was carried by WESA in Pittsburgh, WITF in Harrisburg, and WPSU in State College.
Participating Penn State researcher are Tong Qiu, Aleksandra Radlinska, Farshad Rajabipour, and Parisa Shokouhi. All are faculty research associates of the Transportation Infrastructure Program at Penn State’s Thomas D. Larson Pennsylvania Transportation Institute and members of the University’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
“University faculty members understand the transportation system within Pennsylvania,” says Michael Bonini, manager of PennDOT’s research division, “so they have an appreciation of the challenges we face trying to maintain and operate the system.”
