Crow. Mr. Buizer advances ASU by providing leadership, strategic advice and
guidance on transforming ASU as a model for the “New American University.”
He served as founding director of the ASU Global Institute of Sustainability
and its School of Sustainability, launched fall 2006 as the first of its
kind in the world.
Mark
Wilhelm
is a founding Principal of Green Ideas Environmental Building
Consultants and is responsible for project management, consulting services
and technical development. He is a nationally recognized expert in energy
efficient building design, solar energy technology and building energy
simulation. Mark's team currently manages over 70 LEED green building
projects.
Wayne
Trusty
is President of Athena Institute, a non-profit organization that helps
architects, engineers and others evaluate the environmental impacts of new
and existing structures through life cycle assessment (LCA), including
pavements. Mr. Trusty holds several sustainability related board committee
positions and is a frequent speaker at sustainable building conferences.
Dr.
Franz-Josef Ulm
is George Macomber Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research
interests are in mechanics and structures of materials, including nano- and
micromechanics of porous materials such as concrete, rocks and bones and in
the durability mechanics of engineering materials and structures.
