Gregory Falco, assistant professor in the department, recently contributed insight to the Safe Cities Index 2021. The Safe Cities Index 2021 is a report from The Economist Intelligence Unit, and is based on the fourth iteration of the index, which ranks 60 cities across 76 indicators covering digital, health, infrastructure, personal and environmental security. Findings…

As highly automated systems are becoming more and more popular, assurance challenges have become increasingly visible through high-profile crashes and incidents. In a recently published article for Nature Machine Intelligence, Gregory Falco, assistant research professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering and the Institute for Assured Autonomy (IAA), and a team of collaborators…

As news broke on June 24 regarding a deadly collapse of a 12-story oceanfront condominium in Surfside, Fla., Benjamin Schafer, Williard and Lillian Hackerman Chair, spoke with Scientific American regarding structural engineering and the long-term significance of the event for building designers. Below is an excerpt from the article, which can be viewed in its…

Jinlei Shen and Preetam Tarafder, both graduate students in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering, recently were awarded first and second place in the EMI 2021: Modeling Inelasticity & Multiscale Behavior Student Paper Competition. Jinlei’s paper, titled “Microstructure-informed Fatigue Crack Nucleation Prediction for Dual Phase Ti-64 Alloys using Experimentally validated Parametrically Homogenized Constitutive Models,”…

He succeeds Lori Graham-Brady, who has served as chair since 2015, and whose vision helped lead the transformation of the Department of Civil Engineering into the expanded and refocused Department of Civil and Systems Engineering in 2019.

The Sudler Prize has been awarded to a graduating senior who has demonstrated excellence and the highest standards of proficiency in the visual or performing arts.

This annual Convocation Awards event is a celebration of student and faculty achievements within the Whiting School of Engineering.

This award is given in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to computational science, engineering, and mathematics.

The institute will serve as the university's interdisciplinary home for ongoing research and education aimed at creating clean, renewable, and sustainable energy technologies.

The ABET Symposium is an annual event for accreditation, assessment and the global exchange of best practices in STEM education.

The purpose of the Architected Materials Committee is to promote and disseminate knowledge on the design and synthesis of Architected Materials (AM), as well as on the fundamental understanding of their unique properties.

Wind turbines perched atop slender steel tubular towers have become a common site as the nation’s renewable energy infrastructure expands rapidly. These supporting towers, which have a diameter-to-thickness (D/t) of approximately 150 (and when taking into account how slender they are, sometimes as high as 300), are a remarkable feat of engineering. While the lightweight…
