Professor Antoine Naaman has had a profound influence on the precast, prestressed concrete industry. He dedicated his career to educating industry professionals worldwide about the benefits and applications of prestressed concrete. Along the way, he chaired industry committees, led research studies, wrote two textbooks, and won multiple awards, including two PCI Martin P. Korn Awards and the PCI Distinguished Educator Award in 2011. None of it would have happened if the aerospace industry had been just a little bit more welcoming. Naaman was born and raised in Lebanon, and after receiving top marks in high school he attended the Ecole Centrale in Paris, France, to study engineering.
