Dallas N. Little, Ph.D., P.E. holds the titles of University Distinguished Professor, Regents Professor, and E.B. Snead Endowed Chair Professor of Civil Engineering at Texas A&M University-College Station, Texas. He is also a Senior Research Fellow at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, where he was the first researcher to hold that position.
He is a distinguished member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) - one of less than two hundred to hold that rank out of over 150,000 members. Professor Little was honored by ASCE to present Francis C. Turner and Carl L. Monismith Lectures in 2016 for his outstanding contributions to research and practice.  He is a member of the ASCE Foundation's Board of Directors and Chair of its Council of Trustees.  
During his academic career, Professor Little has served as principal investigator on projects with a total budget of over 37 million dollars.  He has chaired the doctoral committees of many nationally prominent academic leaders. He has published over three hundred refereed journal articles and over eighty-five refereed proceedings, contributed to seven books, and given over 450 invited lectures, including numerous keynote lectures.
He has been a consultant on major projects to over 135 companies, served on many advisory and executive committees, and remains a widely sought-after consultant and expert witness on projects related to infrastructure performance and forensic studies.
Professor Little and his colleagues developed a pavement analysis and forensic investigation system that treats the asphalt as non-linear viscoelastic and viscoplastic, the granular layer as stress-sensitive, and accounts for the effect of moisture degradation in all layers and oxidation in the asphalt-bound layer. The model has been developed as a standalone analysis tool now being evaluated by the Federal Aviation Administration for forensic and analysis of pavement performance for commercial aviation airfield pavement structures.
