The Portland Cement Association (PCA) Education Foundation has awarded Dr Peter Taylor, the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center, a 2015 PCA Education Foundation J.P. Gleason Fellowship Award. Taylor is one of three finalists presented with 2015 PCA Fellowship awards.
The PCA Education Foundation Research Fellowship identifies and rewards outstanding masters and doctoral students in the fields of engineering and physical sciences who are studying areas that advance the science and technology of cement and concrete.
The award will provide graduate students with support for research on improving concrete pavement durability. It will provide a US$35 000 research grant.
