Jessica Anne Rosewitz

Dr. Jessica Anne Rosewitz serves as Assistant Teaching Professor in Civil, Environmental, & Architectural Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where she also coordinates the Construction Project Management (CPM) Graduate Program and Early Research Experience in E-Term (EREE) initiative. Her multifaceted role includes founding WPI's Associated General Contractors student chapter and advising the ASCE/AISC steel bridge team.

Her educational background features:

• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from WPI (2020)
• M.S. in Civil Engineering from WPI (2016)
• B.S. in Civil Engineering from WPI (2007)

Dr. Rosewitz's research bridges sustainable construction materials with historic preservation, focusing on bioinspired cement-polymer composites, enzymatic repair systems for concrete infrastructure, and advanced conservation methods for historical monuments. As a licensed Professional Engineer specializing in Accelerated Bridge Construction, she integrates industry partnerships into WPI's project-based learning model through regional firm collaborations and construction site visits.

Her publication record (2016-2020) reveals consistent innovation in sustainable infrastructure materials, with particular emphasis on self-healing concrete technologies and bioinspired design solutions that address durability challenges in both modern construction and historic preservation contexts.

Dr. Rosewitz actively cultivates student development through multiple channels: coordinating graduate programs, advising competition teams, developing industry-connected IQP/MQP projects, and leading K-12 STEM outreach initiatives including WPI's Touch Tomorrow event. Her EREE program provides structured early research experiences for undergraduates, while her AGC chapter connects students with construction industry professionals.

Community engagement forms a cornerstone of her work, with dedicated outreach to vocational schools and community organizations that brings engineering concepts to diverse audiences through hands-on activities and real-world applications.
