Professor Adalier is the Director of FSU Panama City Engineering Programs. Before joining Florida State University Panama City (FSUPC) in 2003, Professor Adalier served as a faculty of Civil Engineering at the Eastern Mediterranean University (Cyprus), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy-NY). Professor Adalier has also been the Coordinator/Head of the Civil and Environmental Engineering program at FSUPC since 2005.
Professor Adalier’s primary expertise lies in the areas of geotechnical engineering, soil mechanics, earthquake engineering, soil dynamics, ground improvement, and forensic engineering in natural and man-made earth structures. Professor Adalier is an author or co- author of more than 100 technical publications (in over 70% as the first author) in the fields of geotechnical and earthquake engineering. He is a member of numerous technical associations and societies and a reviewer for ten different technical journals. He is also a recipient of several professional awards including the Casimir Gzowski Medal (2005) by the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers.
