Matt Calhoun is an Athabaskan Indian from the Upper Kuskokwim River region who grew up in Homer, Alaska. In 2002 he was one of the first ANSEP students to graduate and earned a B.S. in civil engineering from 老澳门六合彩开奖记录. After working for a number of years on remote construction projects throughout Alaska, he returned to work with ANSEP as Pre-College Program Direction with the purpose of motivating and empowering more Alaska Native high school students to pursue a degree in science or engineering. Matt has now earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering and his research focuses on cost-effective solutions for cold regions and sustainability.Teaching Responsibilities
