Kevin D. Hall is a professor and the Head of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Arkansas, and holds the 21st Century Leadership Chair in civil engineering. He received his B.S.C.E from the University of Arkansas in 1986. After working for just over two years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he returned to the University of Arkansas and completed his M.S.C.E. in 1990. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1993 prior to joining the faculty of the University of Arkansas. Hall is very active in both the research and education communities. He has published more than 70 articles and given more than 150 presentations to various groups. His primary teaching and research interests include pavement design, materials, construction, and rehabilitation, in addition to the topics of professionalism, licensure, and ethics. On the education front, he serves as the co-Chair of the ASCE Body of Knowledge Education Fulfillment Committee (BOKEdFC), and is an active participant in the Civil Engineering Division of ASEE. In terms of technical/research efforts, he currently serves on eight committees, task groups, and panels through the Transportation Research Board (chairing one standing committee of TRB and one NCHRP Project Panel), and numerous committees with ASTM and industry. Hall founded the Center for Training Transportation Professionals at the University of Arkansas, which provides training and certification for QA/QC testing technicians in Arkansas. He has been recognized as the top teacher in his department one time, and the top researcher a total of five times; he also received the University of Arkansas’ highest faculty recognition – the Arkansas Alumni Association Outstanding Faculty Award – for teaching and research. Hall is a registered Professional Engineer in the state of Arkansas.
