Hi! I am an officer in the United States Air Force, a Civil Engineer (P.E. in Arizona) and a Ph.D. (Arizona State University). My primary research interests are those pertaining to infrastructure sustainability, resilience, and long-term management/maintenance of infrastructure. For questions or collaboration inquiries, I can be reached at ryan.hoff@asu.edu.
I continue to actively work with my PhD research advisor, Dr. Mikhail Chester as well as the Resilient Infrastructure Lab.
Ph.D., Civil Engineering, Arizona State University, August 2020 to May 2023
M.S., Engineering Management, Air Force Institute of Technology, August 2013 to March 2015
B.S. Civil Engineering, Arizona State University, August 2005 to May 2010
