School of Civil and Environmental Engineering faculty members Joseph Brown and Iris Tien have been promoted to associate professor and earned tenure at Georgia Tech.

Meanwhile, four of their colleagues, Baabak Ashuri, Yong Cho, Jorge Laval and Yang Wang, were promoted to full professor starting July 1.

All learned of their promotions last week.

Tien came to Tech in 2014 after receiving her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. She studies structural and infrastructure health monitoring and risk analysis for civil infrastructure systems. In 2018, the City of Atlanta picked Tien to co-lead a working group for the city’s efforts to address transportation systems and related risks to infrastructure.
