BIG Names at Internation Foundation Congress & Equipment Expo
A BIG part of the IFCEE Technical Program is the invited speakers. In addition to the traditional Named Lectures, this year, we are introducing the inaugural IFCEE Lecture.
Inaugural IFCEE Lecture: Wednesday, May 8
Dr. Rotta Loria is head of the Northwestern University Subsurface Opportunities and Innovations Laboratory (SOIL) within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His most recent work studying the effects of rising soil temperatures in large cities due to heat island effects is a fitting subject for the inaugural IFCEE lecture, which looks to the future in deep foundations. Dr. Rotta Loria’s work has been featured in the New York Times and on NBC News and presents significant questions for the future of work in the industry.
Named Lectures: Thursday, May 9
