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…

In an OpEd piece published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, assistant research professor Gregory Falco shares his thoughts on the SolarWinds hack and how he feels it calls for a cyber-endurance strategy from the government. “The SolarWinds hack is problematic. Troves of data are now in Russian hands, including Microsoft’s source code. That…

Using an award from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense University Research Program (DURIP), a team led by Somnath Ghosh, Michael G. Callas Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering, is creating a dedicated, high-performance computing cluster aimed at enabling efficient, collaborative solutions to challenging multiphysics/multiscale problems in solids and fluids. The…

The Department of Civil and Systems Engineering is pleased to announce that Kimia Ghobadi and Tak Igusa are part of two separate projects that were recently named as recipients of 2020 Johns Hopkins Discovery Awards. Kimia, the John C. Malone Assistant Professor in the department, is part of a team whose project is titled, “Emulating…

The Department of Civil and Systems Engineering is pleased to share the news that Benjamin Schafer, professor in the department and director of the Cold-Formed Steel Research Consortium, has been appointed the Willard and Lillian Hackerman Professor of Civil Engineering. This endowed professorship, created in 1981 through a gift from Margaret Whiting in honor of…

The Department of Civil and Systems Engineering is very pleased to share with you the news that Lauren Gardner, associate professor in the department, co-director of the Center for Systems Science and Engineering, and affiliated faculty in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, has been named to the BBC’s 100 Women 2020 list,…

With 110 concurrent attendees from 15 time zones and 51 papers and talks the global online Cold-Formed Steel Research Consortium (CFSRC) Colloquium provided a unique forum for sharing and learning about the latest research and innovations in cold-formed steel structures. The Cold-Formed Steel Research Consortium (CFSRC) hosted the Colloquium which was delivered in four main…

Congratulations to Somnath Ghosh, the Michael G. Callas Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering, has been named a Fellow of The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS). This honor recognizes members who have made outstanding contributions to the practice of metallurgy, materials science, and technology. Somnath’s research focuses on computational mechanics…

Gregory Falco, an assistant research professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering and a member of the Institute for Assured Autonomy, is part of a team recently awarded a $250,000 grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a taxonomy for Artificial Intelligence risks that can be used to…
