Morgan's Mentors

“We’re baaack. And we’re moving the needle farther than ever. For the first episode of 2023, Sina Javankhoshdel, Ph.D., P.E., of Rocscience, talked with us about his path from civil engineering research to software development and a couple of the people that were instrumental on his journey. We also talked about the human judgment necessary for using software tools in engineering analysis as well as what engineers should be prepared for with coming AI technology (hint: it’s already here and it’s here to stay).
