About the Workshop Facilitator
Dr. Steve Efe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Morgan State University. His research focuses on addressing emerging engineering and societal issues associated with civil infrastructure system. It is inherently multi-disciplinary and aims to advance reliability and resilience of infrastructure systems with the goal of promoting the disaster resilience of essential civil infrastructure systems and communities vulnerable to growing multi-hazard risks due to climate change and aging infrastructure. Dr. Efe teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in methods of structural analysis, structural mechanics, and advanced finite element methods. He holds a Doctorate, Masters and Bachelors degree from Morgan State University and University of Ibadan respectively.
Dr. Efe also serves as Principal Investigator for two NSF grants: Collaborative Research: Leveraging the Collective Strengths of e4usa and FiRST for Greater Impact on the Future Engineering Workforce (e4usa+FIRST) and Collaborative Research BPE track 3: Minority Mentoring for Advancement and Participation in Engineering Hub (Minority-MAP).
