António Gomes Correia, Full Professor from the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC) and Vice-Dean of the School of Engineering of the University of Minho (EEUM) was granted in the USA. The distinction took place on the 27th September 2017.
António Gomes Correia, Full Professor from the DEC and Vice-Dean of the EEUM, was granted the Technical Achievement Award, during the International Intelligent Construction Technologies Group 2017 Conference – ICT (Intelligent Construction Technologies) Past and Future – held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, from 26th to 28th September 2017. During this conference, he presented the Keynote Lecture entitled “Intelligent Compaction in Europe: Harmonisation, standardisation & management”.

The distinction – handed over by the President of the International Intelligent Construction Technologies Group, George K. Chang, – aimed to recognise the technical and practical contributions of Prof. António Gomes Correia to the Geotechnical and Pavement Engineering Community of Intelligent Construction Technologies.

António Gomes Correia is very much honoured to have this international recognition from a group he is a co-founder, and to see that his vision of “connecting systems for intelligent construction” anticipated what become nowadays part of the fourth industrial revolution, or ‘Industry 4.0’.

António Gomes Correia is graduated in Civil Engineering from the Technical University of Lisbon - IST in 1977, and received his PhD by École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (Paris) in 1985. In 1987 he received the Doctor degree in Civil Engineering by the Technical University of Lisbon – IST and also in 1998 the Habilitation in Civil Engineering. He is Full Professor at the University of Minho from 2003 and from 2010 to 2013 Director of the Research Centre of Territory, Environment and Construction (CTAC). He is also chair of the Doctoral Programme in Civil Engineering since 2010 and Vice-Dean of the EEUM since 2013.

He is involved in research, teaching and consulting in the general field of geotechnics and pavement engineering for 38 years. His work embraced transportation geotechnics, particularly soil and pavement geo-material properties and modelling, compaction, soil improvement, foundations, geotechnical design and management.
