🚨 New paper alert! USC Sonny Astani Dept of Civil & Environmental Engineering Professor Chukwuebuka Nweke, Ph.D. and PhD student Rashid Shams have a new paper in Earthquake Spectra focused on "Usability of Community Seismic Network Recordings for Ground-Motion Modeling." Read the paper: https://lnkd.in/g9RfMZjN #USC_CEE #USCViterbi #geotechnicalengineering #groundmotion #seismic
Check out our new paper in Earthquake Spectra titled "Usability of Community Seismic Network recordings for ground-motion modelling" where we evaluate effective noise thresholds of CSN data based on the currently available recordings, to validate the recordings against those from higher-resolution sensors, and to make the data that is judged to be reliable available in a Ground-Motion Database used for ground-motion modeling projects The paper can be found at the following link: https://lnkd.in/eKGW7Zsh This work was spearheaded by Shako Mohammed, with Prof. Jonathan Stewart, Prof. Chukwuebuka Nweke, Ph.D. , Tristan E. Buckreis, Ph.D., Prof. Monica Kohler and Prof. Yousef Bozorgnia. I am thankful for the opportunity to contribute and be a part of this project. #USC_CEE # USC Sonny Astani Dept of Civil & Environmental Engineering # USC Viterbi School of Engineering

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer in the USC CMAA Habitat for Humanity Build Day organized by the USC CMAA in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles on September 21, 2024. It was a rewarding experience to contribute to this community project and make a meaningful impact. Witnessing the power of teamwork and collaboration in creating positive change in people's lives was truly inspiring. I am proud to have played a small role in helping build affordable homes and support those in need. Thank you USC CMAA and Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles for providing a great opportunity to make an impact! #USC #USCCMAA #Volunteering #Community #HabitatForHumanity #ConstructionMamagement

🎉 We're so excited for you to join the McCurry Lab, Selin Demircan! We're confident that Aarti V. will be a great mentor! #USC_CEE
I am so excited to announce that I have accepted my CURVE Fellowship offer as an undergraduate research assistant in McCurry Lab over the course of this academic year! I will primarily be working on new analytical techniques for quantifying contaminants in wastewater reuse under the mentorship of Aarti Visswanathan. As someone who is highly interested in research and innovation especially in the field of Environmental Engineering, this is a huge opportunity for me to learn about as well as actually participate in laboratory research. I can’t wait for all the knowledge and experience I gain over the course of this year!

🚨 New paper alert! USC Sonny Astani Dept of Civil & Environmental Engineering Professors Esref Bora Gencturk and Roger Ghanem, #USC_CEE alum Bozhou Zhuang and PhD student Anna Arcaro, EIT just published on "Reliability Engineering & System Safety"! They developed #multitask #ML framework for #damage identification and localization all-at-once, and implemented it on detecting interior structural damage to #fuel assemblies during the dry storage in canisters. Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gW8kiQBd #USC_CEE #USCViterbi #civilengineering #machinelearning #structuralhealthmonitoring #spentnuclearfuel
Hi everyone! Our newest article, "Damage detection and localization in sealed spent nuclear fuel dry storage canisters using multi-task machine learning classifiers," has just been published in Reliability Engineering and System Safety! In this work, we developed a multi-task CNN and k-NN to detect both the internal damage level and damage location within a mock-up spent nuclear fuel canister. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Bozhou Zhuang, Esref Bora Gencturk, and Roger Ghanem for their support and collaboration throughout this research. You can check out the open access article with the link below: #machinelearning #structuralhealthmonitoring #spentnuclearfuel

A big thank you to Rob Caputo from Curbio and Jared Levy from SuperLA® for speaking in this week's CE 573 class as part of our Emerging Technologies in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction lecture series! #USC_CEE appreciates your valuable contribution to our MSCE in Emerging Technologies in Construction (formerly MSCE in Advanced Design and Construction Technologies) program. Rob Caputo is the Chief Operating Officer at Curbio, where he oversees all operations for the high-growth, venture backed proptech company. Jared Levy is a senior design and off-site construction professional who has innovated for the past two decades in the prefab space, transforming the way housing is built and delivered. He pioneered the modern prefab movement while at Marmol Radziner Prefab, a company he helped launch in 2004 and developed its product line. With a mission to bring modern living to a broader market, Jared co-founded Connect Homes in 2012 and served as both its CEO and Chief Product Officer. At Connect Homes, he built a robust product platform and manufacturing assembly line process, delivering close to 1,000 modules to date nationwide. Jared developed award winning product lines, including ADU’s, infill homes, interim housing solutions and townhomes that all gained significant traction in the California market and beyond. Our newly renamed MSCE in Emerging Technologies in Construction program is designed for students with a passion for technologies and a drive to influence the design and engineering of the built environment. We aim to prepare the next generation of innovators to not only harness the power of technological innovation, but to bridge the industry’s fragmentation in order to foster collaboration, catalyze change, and offer advanced and sustainable solutions to global problems. As part of preparing our graduates for design, engineering, construction, management and leadership roles in the built environment, Dr. David Gerber brings in industry partners and experts to share their vision for the present and future of the AEC industry and the technologies to support their missions.

USC researchers like USC Sonny Astani Dept of Civil & Environmental Engineering Professor Felipe de Barros are exploring engineering solutions that would lead to a net increase in carbon storage in marshes in order to protect and restore the tidal salt marshes of Upper Newport Bay. Dr. de Barros is collaborating with other researchers to develop advanced computer models to predict how microbial communities and their carbon processing potential will respond to climate-induced changes in the salt marshes of Upper Newport Bay.

🚨 ALERT: Issue 3 of the Potable Water Reuse Report has been published! In collaboration with Trussell, the USC ReWater Center launched the Potable Water Reuse Report earlier this year, which focuses on direct potable reuse (DPR) regulations. This third issue explores DPR on an international scale. The distribution of potable reuse projects internationally shows a high density of projects in the US and a relatively low density of projects elsewhere. Outside the US, potable reuse regulations—both indirect and direct—are nearly nonexistent. One obvious question arises: “Would the development of regulations spur additional potable reuse implementation worldwide?” If the lack of regulations is an impediment, would investments in regulatory development promote more widespread adoption?

📖 Being a #PhD student isn't just about teaching and research ... It's also about being a mentor to other students. Kudos to USC Sonny Astani Dept of Civil & Environmental Engineering's very own Piyush Vyas for mentoring three students this summer and sharing your knowledge with them! 👏 #USC_CEE #USCViterbi #students #mentorship Chukwuebuka Nweke, Ph.D.
This summer, I had the privilege of mentoring three students—Alejandra Diaz through the Viterbi Summer Institute; Zach Gunning and Ryan Repp through the SHINE program—at USC. It was a truly rewarding experience to guide them through the projects and witness their growth in both understanding and passion for the field. I’m thankful to my advisor Chukwuebuka Nweke, Ph.D., USC Sonny Astani Dept of Civil & Environmental Engineering and USC Viterbi School of Engineering for providing me with this opportunity. The experience has been enriching for me as well.
