Michael Graham’s Experience

• Research Assistant

  Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University

  (Government Agency; Civil Engineering industry)

  November 2007 — Present (11 months)

  I develop and implement material characterisations for asphalt concretes. Specifically, I describe asphalt pavements using a damaged, visco-elasto-plastic constitutive model which is used to perform finite element analysis.

• Consultant

  Jaster-Quintanilla

  (Partnership; Civil Engineering industry)

  March 2008 — May 2008 (3 months)

  I was contracted to perform a dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete reaction floor. I used Abaqus to model the structure and perform the modal analysis.

• Undergraduate Research Assistant

  Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University

  (Government Agency; Civil Engineering industry)

  May 2006 — November 2007 (1 year 7 months)

  I worked on several projects involving timber construction, destructive material testing, non-destructive inspection and structural health monitoring using system identification. My specialties were material modeling and structural analysis.
