Biography

Dr. Sundeep Inti is an Associate Professor in the Construction Management Program at Illinois State University. Dr. Inti's education, research, and work experience primarily focus on construction management for heavy civil construction projects. Dr. Inti's research expertise is in multi-criteria decision-making, cost analysis, construction estimation, and data analytics. Also, Dr. Inti is a Professional Engineer in Texas. Earlier, Dr. Inti worked on research projects for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Dr. Inti's dissertation on sustainable highways was acknowledged as an outstanding dissertation at the University of Texas-El Paso. His research supported him in receiving numerous scholarships like the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship from the US Department of Transportation. Besides research, Dr. Inti has five years of construction industry experience in heavy civil construction. He worked as an estimator on heavy civil construction like roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, etc. Dr. Inti worked as a highway project road planner and quality control/assurance engineer for airport construction.
