Damage in energetic material (EM) microstructures can result in off-design performance or even failure of devices critical to national security and safety. For EM-based systems to maintain robust performance over a wide envelope of operational conditions, microstructural damage must be predicted and its effect on energetic material sensitivity must be mitigated. Prof Addis Kidane and Prof Waiching (Steve) Sun will combine careful experimentation and first-principles physics-based multi-scale modeling to establish load-structure-damage-performance (L-S-D-P) linkages for pressed and plastic-bonded…
The American Society of Civil Engineers recognizes two prominent researchers for their outstanding contributions to the field of civil engineering.
CEEM Professor Sharon Di wins the IDC Smart Cities North America Award in the field of Transportation with the overall goal of managing urban traffic and contributing to greener, safer, and quicker travel. A special recognition goes to CEEM's PhD student, Yongjie Fu, who contributed to traffic simulation development for traffic light optimization.
On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, the CEEM department hosted our annual Holiday Party where students, faculty, staff, and visiting scholars enjoyed a beautiful lunch and gathered to celebrate the end of the semester! Here are a few moments from the party.
