Sugarfire Smokehouse will be provided for dinner and there is ample parking at the Terracon office.

Dr. John Kemeny is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Mining and Geological Engineering at the University of Arizona. His specialties are geomechanics, slope stability, rock fracture mechanics, numerical simulation in rock mechanics, and developing 3D imaging and sensing technologies for geotechnical applications. Dr. Kemeny is an expert on the use of point clouds for rock engineering applications such as slope and underground stability. Dr. Kemeny is Partner and Co-Founder of Split Engineering LLC, a company that specializes in image processing software for the mining and geotechnical industries, and the company was recently acquired by Hexagon Mining.

Dr. Kemeny has over 35 years of experience in rock mechanics and over 25 years of experience with using new technologies for rock engineering applications. In the past 30 years Dr. Kemeny has published over 160 papers which include 45 peer-reviewed journal papers, given over 75 invited technical talks and workshops which include many keynote talks given worldwide.
