Speakers
Paul DiGiacobbe is a licensed professional engineer. He is a licensed in Pennsylvania and Florida with over 35 years of experience. He is a graduate of Villanova University with Bachelor’s of Science in Civil Engineering. For the past 13 years Mr. DiGiacobbe has been testing the limits of LiDAR technology in the infrastructure space. His efforts have focused on transportation infrastructure, where traditional survey techniques are a logistical challenge, and he has found that the use of LiDAR data acquisition has provided significant improvements in the speed and safety of roadway survey operations while providing a robust, immersive and highly accurate data set. He now directs the operations for this service provided by Colliers Engineering & Design.
Pat VanHaverbeke is a licensed professional surveyor in the States of New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and is the Discipline Leader for the Unmanned Aerial Services group at Colliers Engineering & Design.

Mr. VanHaverbeke holds a Bachelor’s degree in Surveying Engineering Technology from SUNY Alfred State College and a Professional Science Master’s Degree from the University of Maine in Surveying Engineering and Business. He has held an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate since September of 2016.
Speakers
Frank Boston has over three decades of experience and leadership in photogrammetry and remote sensing, as well as geographic expertise. Frank left the private sector and moved to the State of Michigan in 2001, after successfully leading Abrams Aerial Survey as VP of operations. At MDOT, he took on the role of photogrammetrist as part of the MDOT Design Survey Unit, spending about ten years leading the unit in photogrammetric data collection before helping to facilitate a successful transition to LiDAR data collection. Frank has performed nearly every function in both photogrammetry, LiDAR data collection and mapping, and actively researches new technologies. He has been an FAA certified Remote Pilot for nearly 4 years, and has flown drones for photogrammetry, videography, and LiDAR data collection. His degree from Michigan State University is in Geology and Geophysics, but flying drones is much more fun!
Dr. Colin Brooks has over 25 years of experience in the application of remote sensing and GIS technologies to the modeling and understanding of environmental processes and transportation systems. He has been leading transportation and environmental remote sensing application studies for the Michigan Tech Research Institute, a research center of Michigan Technological University, in bridge condition assessment, unpaved road condition evaluation, mapping of invasive aquatic plants, freight flow monitoring, bridge scour, wetland assessment, unmanned aerial vehicle applications, slope stability assessment, bridge inspection tools, asset management, decision support systems, and rail network modeling. Projects have assessed environmental areas of concern and transportation infrastructure in Alaska, Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Texas, and elsewhere. He has led software development projects to help find new wetlands mitigation sites and to create tablet-based data entry systems for element-level bridge inspections. In 2019, he started working for MTRI Inc. as well, which focuses on commercializing promising remote sensing research. The first project, the Crossing-i system, has received two rounds of SBIR funding to develop a UAS-enabled highway rail grade crossing automated inspection system. He has a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Michigan Technological University (2020), a Master’s Degree in Environmental Management from Duke University (1993), and a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Forestry from Lenoir-Rhyne College (1992).
Steve Cook is the Engineer of Operations and Maintenance for the Michigan Department of Transportation.
