Professor Samuel Labi joined a distinguished panel of speakers on “Lessons Learned from the Key Bridge Collapse – Enhancing Resilience in Critical Infrastructure Systems” at the University of Maryland (UMD) on May 22, 2024.

Professor Samuel Labi, together with CCE students Richard Ajagu and Jelin Sabu and ECE graduate student Sashank Modali, hosted the 2nd Annual AKS competition at the Purdue Grand Prix track in West Lafayette, IN, May 20-23, 2024.

To save time and money on the repair of concrete highways, bridges & other structures, states are considering a Purdue innovation as an alternative to decades-old methods used for estimating when newly poured concrete is ready to withstand heavy traffic.

Dr. Luna Lu, Associate Dean of Faculty and Reilly Professor of Civil Engineering, spent 14 years climbing the academic career ladder — earning awards, promotions, and research funding — only to discover a new joy in running her own company. She reflects on her experience in this article featured in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) magazine.

Water resource engineer, Mingxi Lin, loves that her job challenges her. Her work is complex, technical, and important – water resource engineers play a critical role in managing one of the world's most crucial and delicate resources. And since the technologies and methods engineers use to do their jobs are constantly changing, there's always more to learn.

Congratulations to the Purdue Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Traffic Bowl Team on winning the 2024 ITE International Collegiate Traffic Bowl Grand Championship! The traffic bowl is an annual competition among ITE student chapter teams, and uses transportation planning and engineering topics for the clues, questions and answers.

In honor of Prof. Jon Fricker on the second anniversary of his passing, our transportation and infrastructure systems graduate students unveiled a new fridge and microwave — donated by Prof. Sam Labi — in the grad office.

In one of the inaugural posts on Purdue's new research blog, Assistant Professor Ziran Wang discusses his recently published research comparing the centralized and decentralized variants of federated learning and their impacts on the privacy of user data.

Using digital forestry, Purdue University researchers can identify the areas of highest risk that affect large populations and valuable infrastructure. Their efforts include developing remote sensing tech to determine the probability of wildfires.

CE grad student Mohammadhosein Pourgholamali received the Purdue University College of Engineering Outstanding MS Thesis Award for Spring 2024 for his thesis titled, "Robust design of electric charging infrastructure locations under travel demand uncertainty and driving range heterogeneity."

Dylan Seesman (BSCE 2015), PE, Principal and Director of Structural Engineering at JQOL, has been recognized as the Young Engineer of the Year by the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Indiana for his outstanding talents, skills and abilities representing the next generation of engineering leaders.

Rick Olson (BSCE 1983), PE, Regional Manager at Terracon Consultants, Inc., has been recognized as the Consulting Engineer of the Year by the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Indiana for his significant contribution to the field of consulting engineering in Indiana.

The Lyles School of Civil Engineering's Christopher B. and Susan S. Burke Graduate Program in Civil Engineering has been recognized as a top 5 graduate program in the country.

Two Olympic-sized (50-meter) swimming pools were constructed on Lucas Oil Stadium's field for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, marking the first time an indoor pool has been constructed in a venue of this size. Dave Burchard (BSCE '82) and his fellow Purdue alumni colleagues at Shiel Sexton organized the build.

A Purdue research team led by Panagiota Karava, Professor of Civil Engineering, has been awarded a $1.6M grant from the National Science Foundation to fund their project "Smart energy assistants for affordable housing communities."

The U.S. housing market is in crisis, due to a lack of affordable housing and a shortage of labor and materials to build them. Purdue University has a solution: NextHouse, an initiative to develop the next generation of factory-built housing.
