Biography

Isaac Wasson is a research engineer specializing in impulsive loads in structural materials. Before joining the Structural Engineering and Materials Laboratory, he worked as a forensic engineer and investigated building and bridge failures, designed structural retrofits and repairs, and conducted bridge inspections.

Isaac’s work primarily focuses on experimental design and execution. He has been involved primarily with projects involving testing of large scale concrete beams and bridge girders with both high speed and static loading.
