Professor
Arizona State University
Dr. Chester is a professor of Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering and the director of the Metis Center for Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University’s School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment. He manages a research program focused on infrastructure disruption and innovation describing the challenges and needs for transforming critical systems for the Anthropocene. A large portion of his work centers on adaptation to climate change and other extreme events considering infrastructure design and operation, people, and changing environmental hazards (including heat, wildfires, and flooding). In 2017 he was awarded the American Society of Civil Engineer’s Huber early career research prize for his contributions to infrastructure resilience and sustainability. He is a co-author on the U.S. Fifth National Climate Assessment transportation chapter and contributing author on the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) chapter on Cities, Settlements, and Key Infrastructure. He has recently published two books: The Rightful Place of Science: Infrastructure in the Anthropocene, and Urban Infrastructure: Reflections for 2100.
