Kevin Mackie received his Ph.D. (2004) and his Master of Science (2000) from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Engineering (1998) from the Cooper Union, New York. His areas of expertise are in analytical, numerical and experimental approaches for structural engineering, particularly for bridges. He has served as assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor at the University of Central Florida; was formerly the associate chair of the Department of Civil, Enironmental and Construction Engineering; and is currently the interim chair of the department. He is the former chair of numerous national technical committees within the American Society of Civil Engineers and American Concrete Institute.

His research interests include the probabilistic assessment and design of bridges under seismic loads, experimental and numerical investigation of bridge components under gravity and lateral loading, and use of advanced materials and composites for repair of reinforced concrete. His research has been supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Science Foundation, the California Department of Transportation, the Florida Department of Transportation, industry organizations and other sources. Mackie has supervised 11 doctoral students, 18 master’s students, and more than 30 undergraduate research students in his group at UCF. He has published nearly 200 papers in archival journals, conference proceedings and technical reports.
