Dr. Terri R. Norton is an Assistant Professor of Construction Engineering and Management at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Dr. Norton's research focuses on the effects that natural hazards have on civil structures. In March 2009, she was awarded the Next Generation of Hazards and Disasters Researchers Fellowship, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In June 2008 she was an invited lecturer at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", where her seminar focused on multi-hazard identification and risk assessment.

Before Dr. Norton's appointment she was a member of the technical staff in the Structural Dynamics Department at The Aerospace Corporation. She has also served as a visiting professor with the Department of Construction Engineering Technology at Florida A&M University. And was a past visiting instructor with the Architectural Engineering Department at UNL. She has also been a field mission investigator evaluating the 2002 Molise Earthquake in Italy, a research ambassador at the University of Tokyo, and a research assistant at the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering in the Wind Hazard and Earthquake Engineering Lab.

Her other interests involve mentoring the youth in the areas of math and science. She has been a past mentor for the Ernest E. Just Marine Biology Program and the AMAN Inc. International Science and Discovery, Saturday Science Academy (SSA). The SSA, a NSBE Jr. Chapter, is designed to encourage the career paths of secondary school students who have been traditionally underrepresented in science and technology fields.

Dr. Norton is an active member of several professional organizations including: the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). She serves as a faculty advisor for the UNL collegiate chapter of NSBE.
