Professor Shirley J. Dyke holds a joint appointment in Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering at Purdue University. She is the Director of the NASA funded Resilient ExtraTerrestrial Habitat Institute (RETHi) and the Director of Purdue's Intelligent Infrastructure Systems Lab at Bowen Lab. Dyke is the past Editor-in-Chief of the journal Engineering Structures. Her research focuses on the development and implementation of “intelligent” structures, and her innovations encompass structural control technologies, structural health monitoring, real-time hybrid simulation, and machine learning and computer vision for structural damage assessment. She was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from NSF (1998), the George Housner Medal by ASCE (2022), the SHM Person of the Year Award (2021), the International Association on Structural Safety and Reliability Junior Research Award (2001) and the ANCRiSST Young Investigator Award (2006). She has also led many educational programs, including Research Experiences for Undergraduates, GK12, and the University Consortium on Instructional Shake Tables. She holds a B.S. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana in 1991 and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 1996. Dr. Dyke was the Edward C. Dicke Professor of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and was on the faculty there from 1996 until 2009. She served as the Co-leader for Information Technology for the NSF-funded Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) building a community-driven Cyberinfastructure Platform for the earthquake engineering community.
