Bruce J. Muga, Professer Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University, received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University
of Texas, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering (Hydrodynamics)
from the University of Illinois.
From 1961 to 1967 he was employed as a Project Engineer in the Port and
Harbor Division of the U.S. Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory, Port Hueneme, California. In 1964, he was assigned as Consultant to the U.S. Military
Assistance Command, Vietnam, to advise on Coastal and harbor engineering
projects.
In 1967, Dr. Muga accepted a position in teaching and research at Duke
University and was Chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering in 1974.
He has served as a consultant to many international corporations engaged in offshore and deep océan engineering activities. He has written numerous technical
papers and for seventeen years served on the North Carolina Marine Sciences
Council. Prior to retirement, Dr. Muga was a Registered Professional Engineer
in California, a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the
Marine Technology Society. He is a life member of the Permanent International
Association of Navigational Congresses.
Lymon C. Reese is the Nasser I. Al-Rashid Chair Emeritus and Professor,
Department of Civil Engineering, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas, and
is principal at Ensoft, Inc., a distributor of engineering software. Some of his
Consulting activities are carried out through Lymon C. Reese
Associates, a
subsidiary of Ensoft.
He received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from
The University of Texas at Austin and his Ph.D. from The University of California at Berkeley. Dr. Reese has had several years of industrial expérience and
has been a consultant to a number of companies and governmental agencies.
He was formerly Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Mississippi State
University.
Dr. Reese has done extensive research in the field of geotechnical engineering, principally concerning the behavior of deep foundations. He has pioneered
in performing field studies of instrumented piles and has developed analytical
methods now widely used in the design of major structures. He has authored
over 400 technical papers and reports and presented a number of invited lectures
and talks in North and South America, Australia, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
