Salvatore Salamone, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, has been awarded the 2014 Achenbach Medal.

Presented by the International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring, the award recognizes a young investigator who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of structural health monitoring. This includes the monitoring of bridges, pipelines, buildings and other infrastructure.

To be eligible for the international award, one must be a young researcher within 10 years of receiving a PhD.

A native of Italy, Salamone joined UB in 2010 after earning his PhD at the University of Palermo and conducting postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Diego.

The medal is named in honor of Jan Achenbach, professor emeritus (Walter P. Murphy Professor and Distinguished McCormick School Professor) at Northwestern University.
