Bowers Waves a Fond Farewell to VTRC and Looks to Auburn
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Over the last four years, Virginia has been blessed to have Dr. Ben Bowers as an asphalt researcher. During his time at VTRC, Bowers has been heavily involved with asphalt mixture research, use of highly polymer-modified binders and the heavy vehicle simulator program. Now, he is taking his talents to Auburn University, where he will work for Dr. David Timm. While this is a loss for Virginia, it is a gain for academia and the entire asphalt industry. Bowers said in a recent email sent to VDOT, VTRC, and other industry professionals, "It's been a great four and a half years working with you! Thank you for all you have taught me and for collaborating on so many projects. Please stay in touch! If you need anything project-related, please feel free to contact Kevin McGhee (or any of my teammates on the project). If it's something you want to contact me directly about, you can reach me at bfb0014@auburn.edu. I hope to see all of you again soon!"
Join us in wishing Ben the best of luck in his new position.
