David Trejo

David Trejo is a Professor and Hal Pritchett Chair in Construction Engineering Management at Oregon State University's College of Engineering, Department of Civil and Construction Engineering. He holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley (1997, 1993, 1991). His research focuses on materials and systems for efficient, durable construction, including precast bridge systems, corrosion-resistant materials, and NASA launch complex refractories. He teaches construction methods, cementitious materials, and rapid construction techniques.

Key research interests include chloride thresholds in concrete, alkali-silica reaction effects, and sustainable concrete mix design. His work combines theoretical models with practical applications, such as improving bridge deck durability and optimizing construction processes. Dr. Trejo has received prestigious awards, including the 2022 Robert E. Philleo Award, 2016 Delmar L. Bloem Award, and the 2009 Hal Pritchett Chair appointment. His research projects span topics like corrosion modeling, eco-efficient materials, and construction productivity.

Recent articles emphasize corrosion resistance, sustainable concrete practices, and standardized testing methods. Collaborative efforts with industry and academia aim to bridge research and real-world applications. His contributions span infrastructure resilience, material durability, and education-focused innovation.
