Speakers
Scott Schiff
Kansas State UniversityCivil Engineering professor at Kansas State University
Mr. Schiff received his doctoral degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988. After graduation, he was appointed as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Illinois where he taught classes and worked on three funded research projects. In August 1989, he joined the Civil Engineering faculty at Clemson University as an assistant professor of Civil Engineering and was promoted through the ranks to professor in 2003. In 2013, he co-founded Emagine, a College of Engineering and Science program to provide STEM outreach to middle and high school students throughout South Carolina. In 2014, he led the development of the Wood Utilization + Design Institute at Clemson University to foster collaborative research and public service across the Clemson campus and with other state institutions, industry organizations, and private industry. In January 2015, he “retired” from Clemson University with the title of emeritus professor of Civil Engineering to join Applied Technology Council (ATC) as director of projects and managed research related to structural engineering and hazard mitigation. In the summer of 2016, he decided to return to academia and taught part time at Kennesaw State University, before joining the Civil Engineering faculty at Kansas State University in December 2017 as a teaching professor.
