Dr. Kimberly Kurtis is the 2005 recipient of The Walter P. Moore, Jr. Faculty Achievement Award which recognizes new faculty members for excellence and innovation in the teaching of concrete design, materials, or construction. The award honors the late Walter P. Moore, Jr., ACI Fellow, former ACI Board member, and a structural engineer and educator in Texas. The award recipient shall have taught an undergraduate level course related to concrete structural design, concrete materials, or concrete construction; total time served in all faculty positions shall not exceed seven calendar years; the individual shall be an ACI member; evidence of technical competence, high character, and integrity; and other evidence of merit, which, in the judgment of the award committee, shall have advanced ACI's and awards purposes.

Dr. Kurtis joined the Structures, Mechanics, and Materials group in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech in January 1999. Her research and teaching interests are in construction materials, with a strong emphasis on microstructure and durability of cement-based materials. Dr. Kurtis actively engages in service to the cement-based materials research community. In the American Concrete Institute (ACI), she is currently Chairman of both Committee E802: Teaching Methods and Educational Materials and Subcommittee SC2, which awards the Wason Medal for Materials Research. She is also secretary of ACI Committee 236: Materials Science of Concrete, a member of Subcommittee 201C: Sulfate Durability Task Force, a member of the Committee on Paper Awards, and an associate member of Committee 201: Durability. In addition to these ACI activities, Dr. Kurtis currently serves on the Program Committee for American Ceramic Society’s Cements Division, and is a member of Transportation Research Board Committee AFN30: Durability of Concrete. Dr. Kurtis has been Associate Editor of ASCE Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering since 2000 and on the Editorial Board of Cement and Concrete Composites since 2004.

More information about Dr. Kurtis can be found on her CEE Faculty Page.
