Bio

Mason graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in April 2022 with a bachelor's of science in civil engineering and a structural concentration. During his undergraduate career, he accumulated approximately three years of work experience through co-op’s and part-time internship with American Bridge Company. Through this opportunity, he was able to improve his skillset and knowledge in temporary structures and bridge erection engineering, in conjunction with refining his experience in structural modeling through the use of finite element programs. Mason is now a Ph.D. student working on the development of a specific finite element program to analyze various loading conditions on industrial floors.
