Prof. Salgado was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1964.  Born into a family of engineers and showing a keen interest in mathematics, he entered the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul first as a chemical engineering major, then transferred to civil engineering.  He graduated in 1986.  After several years working first as an intern, then as an engineer with a geotechnical specialty contractor and with PETROBRÁS, the Brazilian oil company, he came to the U.S. for graduate school.  He obtained an M.S. in 1990 and a Ph.D. in 1993 at the University of California, Berkeley.  Immediately upon graduation, he joined the faculty at Purdue University, where he is today a Professor.  In 1999 he received the ASCE Casagrande Award for his contributions in the fields of foundation engineering and earthquake engineering.  His research, sponsored by, among others, NSF, FHWA, INDOT and INTEL, has led to the publication of many journal and conference papers.  He serves on ACI, ASCE and ABMS technical committees and is currently writing “The Engineering of Foundations”, a book that will be published by McGraw-Hill.
