ASTM International’s soil and rock committee (D18) has awarded its C.A. Hogentogler Award to Zaher Jarrar, engineer for Caterpillar.

The award is given in honor of the committee’s first chair and in recognition of a paper of outstanding merit on soils for engineering purposes presented before ASTM. Jarrar was specifically recognized for his paper, “Four-Dimensional Dynamic Synchrotron Microcomputed Tomography Imaging of Gas-Water Interface at High Pressure and Low Temperature.”

Jarrar’s career concentration is soil-machine interaction and machine performance analysis. He received his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Tennessee (Knoxville) in 2020.
