Professor Magued Iskander has
always been excited by scientific
discovery and its potential to impact
engineering practice.
As a geotechnical engineering educator
and Chair of the Civil & Urban Engineering
Department at the New York University
Tandon School of Engineering, he has made
a name for himself during an accomplished
career that spans more than 25 years.
In particular, Iskander, 54, is recognized
for his teaching, research and consulting
in the analysis, design and construction
of deep foundations. His geotechnical
research has been accepted as the leading
authority in the use of recycled polymeric
piling as a replacement for conventional piling,
especially in waterfront environments,
as well as physical modelling of soil-structure
interaction using transparent soils.
