The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has elected Franz-Josef Ulm, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and faculty director of the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), for contributions to nanoscale improvement of concrete and other materials and structures important for sustainable development of infrastructure and energy resources. Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature" and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
Dr. Ulm helped establish the MIT CSHub and has served on its four-person Board since its inception. The MIT CSHub is co-funded by the RMC Research & Education Foundation and Portland Cement Association.
