American Society of Civil Engineers featured Katherine Flanigan and Burcu Akinci in the latest edition of their magazine in an article about AI in civil engineering. Flanigan and Akinci discussed a testbed built in a CEE lab that teaches digital twins, a new AI-powered modeling technology set to transform the way civil engineers collect and analyze data. https://lnkd.in/eDXaH263

On December 3, join energy experts from Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon Architecture, and Carnegie Mellon University - Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy for Faculty Dialogue: The U.S. Power Grid: Resiliency and Sustainability. The discussion will feature Scott Institute Director Costa Samaras, Senior Energy Fellow Prof. Karen Clay, and faculty affiliates Ramteen Sioshansi and Azadeh O. Sawyer, LEED AP. This is a virtual event. Registration is open through December 2: https://lnkd.in/eerEwA4w

As NYC plans to roll out congestion toll pricing in January, Professor Sean Qian raises equity concerns about the program with Smart Cities Dive. "It may be worthwhile to explore ways to equitably allocate revenue to support various communities," he suggests. https://lnkd.in/eY3u7sJ7

Collaborative research between CEE's Greg Lowry and CMU Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE)'s Aaron Johnson seeks to understand how robotics can help engineers address environmental challenges, such as monitoring affected soils. https://lnkd.in/giXEUNsb

Professor Mario Bergés was a keynote speaker at the Association for Computing Machinery's International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation, or Buildsys, in Hangzhou, China last week. His talk explored the future of BuildSys and its role in advancing energy-efficient systems across buildings, cities, and transportation. Reflecting on past achievements and future directions, Bergés discussed the essential steps needed to maintain BuildSys as a leading forum in this field and to support climate action goals for 2040. Through examples from his research on digital twins and sensor-based inference engines, he examined both challenges and promising opportunities to unlocking new solutions.
