Devin Kumar, PhD, EIT, LEED AP, is a Forensic Engineer based in Atlanta, Georgia, with experience in cause and origin investigations of structural failures in both commercial and residential properties. Dr. Kumar is a published author of peer-reviewed papers in the field of concrete durability and characterization, but also has experience in roofing system evaluations, structural design and residential construction.

Dr. Kumar holds a PhD and MS in Civil Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a BS in Architectural Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin. His doctoral research focused on concrete durability, particularly the characterization, evaluation, and repair of concrete affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete. Dr. Kumar has innovated the use of novel analytical techniques to characterize ASR-affected concrete such as Micro X-Ray Fluorescence (mXRF) and non-collinear ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE). He has also implemented both material and structural-level repair strategies of ASRaffected concrete, including ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) jacketing. He has presented at multiple conferences and published three peer-reviewed papers, including a journal paper in the prestigious ‘Materials and Structures’ RILEM journal. Dr. Kumar has also contributed to industry reports as an author of a comprehensive recommendation based state report for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).
