Maine magazine celebrates Dagher as doer charting state’s future
Habib Dagher, founding director of the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center and professor of civil and environmental engineering, was featured in Maine magazine’s special issue highlighting dreamers and doers “charting the state’s future.”
Last year, Dagher was recognized at the White House as a Transportation Champion of Change for his work on an award-winning composite arch bridge system, known as Bridge-in-a-Backpack. Some of Dagher and the Advanced Structures and Composite Center’s other notable projects, according to the article, include an enhanced ballistic protection for soldiers tents, a partnership with NASA to produce technology to help land people on Mars and a floating wind turbine.
