Biography: 

Dr. Frost obtained a B.A.I. in Civil Engineering and a B.A. in Mathematics from Trinity College in Dublin in 1980. After working for almost four years in Canada, including a year north of the Arctic Circle on the design, construction and performance monitoring of artificial sand islands for oil exploration, he returned to graduate school at Purdue University and obtained M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering in 1986 and 1989, respectively. He served on the faculty at Purdue for three years before moving to Georgia Tech in 1992. His research uses computer-based imaging and visual analysis techniques to study the characteristics and behavior of natural and man-made geomaterials under earthquake and other dynamic loading conditions. In 1994, he received a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award to support his research in applying these techniques to understand the consequences of earthquakes.
