Dr. Robert Falk
Research Engineer
Engineered Properties & Structures
Email: rhfalk@fs.fed.us or rfalk@wisc.edu
Dr. Falk is a Research Engineer in the Engineered Properties
and Structures Research Work Unit. His research focuses on the development
of value-added products from wood waste materials. This work includes the
development of reuse options for salvaged lumber and timber as well as the
development of composites from waste natural fibers and waste thermoplastics.
In addition to developing a basic understanding of the engineering properties
of these materials, Dr. Falk is active in helping develop the engineering
property and engineering design standards necessary to facilitate their widespread
use in construction applications.
Dr. Falk has participated in many technical committees, including the American
Society for Testing and Materials, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),
American Institute of Timber Construction, and the International Council for
Building Research Studies and Documentation. He is a registered professional
engineer in California and Wisconsin holds a BS degree in Civil Engineering
from California Polytechnic State University, an MS degree in Civil Engineering
from Michigan Technological University, and a Ph.D. degree in Structural Engineering
from Washington State University.
