The Bangor Daily News named Habib Dagher, the director of UMaine’s AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center, one of its 11 people to watch in 2011. Dagher has led a $25 million effort to research the future of deepwater offshore wind power, an effort which will include the opening later this year of a wind turbine testing facility on the UMaine campus. In addition, the center is working with officials from a Russian construction company considering for the 2014 Winter Olympics use of composite bridge technology developed at the center.
