Biography

Dr. Tiznobaik is a lecturer in the School of Engineering at The University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus, in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Before this, he served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the same institution. Dr. Tiznobaik is a member of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and brings 28 years of combined industrial and academic experience in design and construction engineering, including work on large-scale projects.

His research focuses on the behavior and curing of concrete pavements, the design and performance of cementitious materials, and the durability of concrete infrastructure under chemical and physical damage mechanisms.

Dr. Tiznobaik is a distinguished recipient of the ACI Wason Medal for Materials Research, awarded in 2020—one of the most prestigious honors in the field of concrete research. He has also received the University of Manitoba Graduate Fellowship (2015–2018) and the Gordon P. Osler Graduate Scholarship in 2015.

Dr. Tiznobaik earned his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering in 1996, followed by a Master’s in Structural Engineering and a Ph.D. in Concrete Materials from the University of Manitoba in 2014 and 2018, respectively. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in British Columbia, Canada.
