The Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA), led by a Koerner awardee selection task force, selected Jie Han, Ph.D., RE., F.ASCE, as the recipient of the 2021-23 Dr. Robert M. Koerner Award and Lecture Series. The award and lecture series is named for the late Robert M. Koerner, Ph.D., the founder of the Geosynthetic Institute (GSI). "I was very surprised and of course honored," Han said when asked how he felt about receiving the award and lecture series. "Bob Koerner was my role model and I'm very pleased, honored to have my name associated with Professor Koerner. I really appreciate the recognition from the industry, as well. Even though I work at the University of Kansas doing research, the industry recognition means a lot to me, indicating that the research we have conducted has been useful to the industry." |
