One of the top honours any professor can receive is having an academic society designate a best paper award in his or her name, as recognition of exemplary scholarly and student-centred contributions to the field.
Last week, members of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) celebrated the naming of its construction division best paper award after Osama Moselhi, professor in Concordia's Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering (BCEE).
The Award will be bestowed by the Construction Division of the CSCE on the author (or authors) of a paper based on its contribution to the body of knowledge through cutting-edge research in construction.
Moselhi's efforts have been fundamental in establishing the building engineering and construction engineering programs at Concordia.
"Professor Moselhi has a rich legacy of research in construction engineering, including mentorship of highly successful researchers who hold leadership positions in academia and industry today," says Amir Asif, dean of the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science.
Moselhi chaired the joint 2019 CSCE construction and ASCE Construction Research Congress (CRC) conference in Laval, where he was also toasted by a gathering of colleagues, friends and a cluster of high caliber former students.
