About John J. Myers, Ph.D. P.E.

Dr. John J. Myers is Professor of Structural Engineering in the department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology and is Director of the Missouri Center for Transportation Innovation (MCTI). He served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Engineering and Computing from 2015 to 2019. Dr. Myers has been a member of the Missouri S&T faculty since 1999. He holds Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in civil engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and a bachelor's degree in architectural engineering from Pennsylvania State University. He previously served as the college’s acting vice provost and dean.

Dr. Myers has researched high performance materials for the past 30 years in relationship to structural engineering applications. His efforts in the development of environmentally sensitive advanced concrete construction materials have focused on the development and application of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP), fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM), steel reinforced polymer/matrix (SRP/M) for repair and new construction as well as high-strength/high performance concrete (HS/HPC), high strength self-consolidated concrete (HS-SCC), high volume fly ash self-consolidating concrete (HVFA-SCC) behavior and durability performance in structural engineering applications. His work has contributed to the code and standardization of these materials and led to the deployment of these systems into field application with in-situ studies into structural health monitoring (SHM), non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and load testing of these technologies for buildings and bridges. Myers has published more than 300 technical journal and conference publications along with 90 technical research reports. He is a registered Professional Engineer and has over 11 years of professional consulting experience. He is a fellow of ACI, ASCE, IAAM, IIFC, TMS and VEST.
