This award is a testament to the leadership of the Geotechnical, Geology and Materials Community of Practice and their efforts to support, involve and recognize our employees at all professional levels.” “For those organizations that are not already doing so, I highly encourage you to consider ways to recognize your younger/early career professionals,” said Flynn. “I am both proud and grateful to work for such a dedicated and impactful organization as the USACE with our great teams across the nation, within the Mississippi Valley Division, and at home in the Rock Island District.” In 2014, while pursuing a bachelor’s in civil engineering at SIUE, Flynn began working with the USACE as a student intern at the St. Louis District. Upon graduation in 2015, he was offered a full-time job with the Rock Island District. He currently serves as a senior geotechnical engineer and conducts design, construction and inspection of dams, levees and navigation structures. The Early Career Geoprofessional of the Year award recognizes Flynn for exhibiting professionalism and commitment to excellence through: • Enhanced regional and/or national projects, • Achievements and innovations in geotechnical engineering, geology or materials engineering, • Contributions to professional/technical societies, • Enhanced relationships with peers, partners and contractors, and • Demonstrated exemplary levels of trust and integrity. During his time at SIUE, Flynn served as a research assistant and conducted research for the Illinois [...]

Alumni of CEE's Geotechnical Engineering program have made significant contributions to major projects like subway systems in the nation’s largest cities, the Hoover Dam and the World Trade Center. Today, geotechnical engineering faculty members have expertise in earthquake engineering, soil mechanics behavior, foundation engineering, rock mechanics and tunneling, and advanced numerical modeling techniques. Research interests of the Geotechnical Engineering faculty include: Deep excavations Earthquake engineering Numerical modeling Static and dynamic Soil-structure interaction. Engineering properties, construction problems, and ground modification technology in soft clays and silts, stiff clays and soft rocks, and granular materials Soil-structure interaction Reliability-based design Mechanically stabilized earth and earth support systems Ground improvement methods and their effect on structures Soil liquefaction during earthquakes The static and seismic stability of natural and excavated slopes   Source: Geotechnical Engineering | Civil and Environmental Engineering at Illinois Geotechnical Engineering Illinois
