Education
- Ph.D. (Structural Engineering), University of Minnesota, 2003

Professional Interests
Dr. Vandenbossche's academic and professional interests are in the fields of concrete material chacterization of concrete and the analysis, design and rehabilitation of concrete pavements. She is particularly interested in instrumentation and the modeling of pavement behavior. The focus of her currently funded research is on evaluating the proposed mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide, evaluation of pavements using a falling weight deflectometer, the use of instrumentation for monitoring the health of a pavement structure and the material characterization of concrete.
