Wil V. Srubar III is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. He received his B.S. degree in civil engineering from Texas A&M University with a concentration in structural engineering and architectural history in 2006. He received his M.S. degree in 2008 from The University of Texas at Austin where he studied structural engineering, sustainable architecture, and the durability of cement-based materials. Currently at Stanford, his research focuses on the development and durability of sustainable construction materials with particular interest in the mechanisms, mitigation, and modeling of hygrothermal effects on engineered biobased composites derived from natural fibers and a resin of poly(B-hydroxybutyrate)-co-poly(B-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), a naturally occurring, biosynthesized polymer.
