My research, teaching, and service seeks to advance the industry with respect to novel processes in the areas of supply chain management, project controls, and resource management as well as through supporting research in information management and design of advanced decision support systems. My work has been funded by industry and government, with major grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Construction Industry Institute, and the Texas Department of Transportation. As a teacher, I have recieved a "Gold Award" from the University of Texas' Innovative Instructional Technology Awards Program, reflecting my continuing endeavors to bring new methods and technologies to teaching.

I am currently an Associate Professor in the Construction Engineering and Management Program in the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Austin. Beyond my university service, I am an Associate Editor of Advanced Engineering Informatics, Specialty Editor of the Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, and serve as Secretary of the ASCE Technical Council for Computing and Information Technology's Executive Committee.
