Professional Experience
Dr. Luo received his Ph.D. in civil engineering with an emphasis of geotechnical engineering and is a registered P.E. He taught soil mechanics and foundation design at Clemson University, and multiple undergraduate and graduate courses of civil engineering at University of Akron. He received Outstanding Lab Instructor Award at Clemson University and Excellence in Teaching Award at University of Akron. His current teaching interests focus on construction management. He co-authored a textbook entitled Principles of Soil Dynamics, and was funded by Ohio Lake Erie Commission, Ohio Sea Grant and Texas Hazardous Waste Research Center.
