She holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a doctorate in engineering mechanics from Columbia University. Read the article for more information on her work, including details of her investigation of the 2007 deadly collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis, MN.

Daniel K. Carder, WV A ’92, has been named to the 2016 Time 100, the magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The Register-Herald (KY) reported that Carder led the research team that broke open the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
“It’s overwhelming to look at the list,” says Carder, director of WVU’s Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Emissions (CAFEE). “I’m so honored to be included with such influential and prominent people, but even though it’s my name in print I believe this is truly CAFEE’s honor, the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering’s honor and West Virginia University’s honor.”
