Professor spillers is widely recognized as one
of the foremost authorities in the field of
computer applications in structural engineering.
Professor Spillers provides support as a special
consultant to Dominick R. Pilla Associates, P.C.
(DRPA). He has been contributing technical
support efforts since the firm’s inception on
all matters of engineering particularly in areas
of analysis and design. Professor spillers’
expertise in engineering mechanics allows him to
apply his knowledge to the complete engineering
spectrum and his creative problem solving
ability make him an invaluable asset to the
firm. |
