Dr. Signore has over 25 years of experience in the pavement field. He specializes in pavement design and evaluation, rehabilitation and maintenance, materials assessment, and training. At NCE, he provides pavement engineering consulting to numerous clients including California local agencies and San Francisco Internal Airport. He currently manages NCE's On-Call pavement engineering contract with Caltrans. His former Caltrans work, while at the UCPRC, UC Berkeley included involvement with the development of Superpave mix designs, next generation mechanistic pavement design, and long life AC performance projects. He has published and presented at the Transportation Research Board Meeting and at many professional conferences. He has taught at San Jose State University and for the National Highway Institute and continues to teach for ASCE.

Mr. Guada serves as the Laboratory and Field Operations Manager at the University of California Pavement Research Center (UCPRC), Berkeley. He supervises the nationally accredited laboratory specializing in pavement materials testing for highways, ports, and airfields. As project manager and engineer for statewide implementation and research projects, Irwin has led and conducted numerous field investigations to sample materials, conduct feasibility analyses, and monitor and inspect construction projects. A professional civil engineer with 20 years of laboratory, construction, maintenance, and design experience, his recent work includes surface characterization of concrete pavements for noise, friction, and texture. Irwin has lectured at San Jose State University, presented at national conferences, and been published in several peer reviewed journals.

Dr. Farshidi serves as the project manager for pavement and bridge capital improvement projects team at the City of San Jose, infrastructure management group. He has over 10 years of pavement engineering experience including pavement design and evaluation, material characterization, and training in the state of California. At City of San Jose, he is in charge of planning, designing, and delivering pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects for approximately 6,000 lane miles of pavements. Previously, Frank served as the principal researcher on multiple Caltrans and federally-funded projects including warm mix asphalt, rubberized asphalt binder, and performance-related specification development for pavement projects. Frank is also an adjunct lecturer at San Jose State University department of civil and environmental engineering.
