Biography[edit]
Education[edit]
Ellingwood received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1968, 1969, and 1972, respectively. His doctoral thesis was supervised by Alfredo H-S. Ang.[2]
Career[edit]
After receiving his Ph.D. in 1972, Ellingwood joined the Naval Ship Research and Development Center as a Research Structural Engineer. In 1975, he moved to the Center for Building Technology at the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology), and later became the leader of the Structural Engineering Group for the Center for Building Technology. In 1986, Ellingwood joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins University, and in 1990, became the Willard and Lillian Hackerman Chair in Civil Engineering. He joined the faculty of Georgia Institute of Technology in 2000 as Chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and held that position from 2000 to 2002. Subsequently, he served as College of Engineering Distinguished Professor at Georgia Tech, where he also held the Raymond Allen Jones Chair in Civil Engineering.
Bruce Ellingwood is currently Professor Civil Engineering at the Colorado State University at Fort Collins, CO.[3]
