SUMMARY:Engineering Environmental Data Justice: From citizen science to community data
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for this Lunch & Learn seminar series\, A Bimonthly seminar series focusing on convergent research\, bringing together Northeastern colleagues and collaborators to think big/bold\, explore ideas that build cooperation and foster transformative innovation within CEE and across disciplines beyond CEE. \nAbstract: Premature births\, unexplained human and livestock sicknesses\, flammable water faucets\, toxic wells and the onset of hundreds of earthquakes\, the impacts of fracking in the United States are far-reaching and deeply felt. In this talk Dr. Wylie explores how extractive resource systems\, like natural gas extraction through fracking\, are proceeded and supported by extractive data systems that create asymmetric access to information. Drawing together the fields of Environmental Health\, Environmental Justice and Data Justice\, Wylie explores how we can build community centered information systems that help create accountability for corporations and state agencies.\nBased on her work building tools for community monitoring of the oil and gas industry and co-developing the watchdog organization the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) Dr. Wylie reflects on how we can create community centered research and data systems that move beyond mapping exposure disparities to address the drivers of toxic contamination and make corporations responsible for their environmental harms. This precious present moment for action on Climate Change provides an opportunity to jointly create sustainable and just systems. Now is the time\, Wylie argues to organize and collectively theorize\, design\, and engineer environmental data justice. \nBio: Sara Wylie is an Associate Professor Sociology/Anthropology and Health Science in Northeastern University’s Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute (SSEHRI). Her award-winning book Fractivism: Corporate Bodies and Chemical Bonds examines the U.S. unconventional energy industry. She is the co-founder of the citizen science organization Public Lab and the accountability organization Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI).

SUMMARY:Developing Resilient Civil Infrastructure Systems – a Convergent Approach
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Distinguish Seminar Series is open for attendees from the College of Engineering and the University as a whole. \nDeveloping Resilient Civil Infrastructure Systems – a Convergent Approach \nABSTRACT: Critical Civil Infrastructure systems\, namely- Transportation network\, Water systems\, Waste-water systems\, Electric grid and Communications network are vital to functioning of a community. They ought to be considered as Community assets and should be treated with the same care as all important assets are. \nWhen a damaging natural hazard event such as earthquake\, hurricane\, and floods occur and strikes a community\, the results can vary from tolerable to severe. To minimize the impact of such a hazard event\, it is necessary that the community as a system respond in an integrated way. While it is necessary for built environment systems\, economic systems\, and social systems to work synergistically together\, the focus of this talk is built environment systems – specifically the infrastructure systems\, excluding the buildings. Because it is not always feasible to develop 100% resilience to damaging hazard events\, acceptable functionality is strongly advocated. Such resilience in infrastructure systems can work quite well to keep the community functioning in an acceptable way. \nConvergent engineering approach is used to develop the resilience\, as it focuses on a Societal-level Problem\, requires team -science and use of a transdisciplinary language\, all required for a satisfactory solution. \nBIO: Vilas Mujumdar practices as an independent consulting engineer since 2009. Previously he was CEO\, President\, and Partner of many large consulting engineering firms and worked at highest-level in the public sector\, such as\, Chief of Operations\, Division of State Architect\, State of California; Director\, Engineering Research Centers Program – Natural Hazards\, National Science Foundation. \nHis experience uniquely combines consulting engineering in the private sector – 35 years\, State regulatory work – 10 years\, and Research management at the Federal Govt. level – 6 years. This is enriched by working in different aspects of engineering such as: Civil/Structural Design\, Project Management\, Teaching\, Research and Research Management in Asia\, Europe\, Canada\, and the US. \nPlease arrive early to prevent disruption.

SUMMARY:LEADERs Event: AI Challenges in the Deployment of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will help attendees learn about integrating AI in auto industry. While AI has been able to achieve remarkable success over the last 10 years\, can it really be trusted?  What does trustworthy AI look like in the context of connected vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)?  To create an ADAS for all\, it’s paramount that the AI systems in the vehicle be trusted and work for everyone.  This is especially important given the nature of ADAS as a safety-critical\, cyber-physical\, and people-centric system of systems.  In this talk\, the presenter will outline a number of challenges in building AI systems which could potentially be deployed in future ADAS. \nSpeaker Dr. Jacob Bond leads trustworthy AI research at General Motors R&D.  In addition to his work on ensuring AI systems in the vehicle can be trusted\, his research looks at how to keep AI systems private and how to ensure cloud and vehicle systems can establish secure communications.  After receiving a Ph.D. in computational mathematics and cryptography from Purdue University\, he joined General Motors’ Product Cybersecurity organization\, focusing on applications of public-key cryptography.  Jacob then began investigating the security of AI systems\, moving to GM R&D and expanding his work to encompass the trustworthiness of AI systems.

SUMMARY:Showcase of Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor (SOURCE)
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Huskies! Learn more about what cutting-edge research and creative endeavor look like at Northeastern. This is your chance to talk one-on-one with faculty from across the colleges about their research – and how you can get involved in projects during your time at Northeastern. Not everyone will have open positions right now but you’ll get a chance to see the range of work that’s happening and begin to make connections that you can build for the rest of your time at Northeastern. \nBefore you attend\, here’s some advice to consider. \n\nTake a look and see who’ll be there. We have an online database of attendees. Go through it and learn more about the project areas and visit the researcher/creative practitioner web pages. This will help prepare you for a conversation and help you ask any questions you might have.\nGet ready for a conversation from your end. Think about goals you have \, as well as your current interests and skills and those that you want to develop. How does what you have read about the various projects align with what you know about yourself and your interests? Take a minute to practice a simple declarative sentence\, “My name is ____________. I study ____________. I think that this part of your work ____________ is interesting because of this intellectual reason/moral imperative/grand impact ____________.  I’d love to learn more about it because of this previous experience ____________ and these skills ____________ and my long-term interest in ____________.  How I can get involved?” You might not know how to fill in all of the blanks right now (that’s why you’re in school) but see how close you can get.  When you know who you are\, what you value\, and how you can contribute — and get some practice saying it out loud– being confident becomes easier.\nRemember\, not every faculty member will have open positions now — but a good impression lasts a long time. You can’t go wrong with being polite and courteous.   Address faculty members as Professor until told otherwise (better to err on the side of formality).\nKeep in mind your time! If you want to be involved in research or creative practice\, a good thing to keep in mind is that faculty members will commit a lot of time to training and mentoring their undergraduates. They’re investing time\, energy\, and expertise in their mentees and want to know that you will make time for the projects\, show up consistently\, and ideally be with them for longer than a semester if possible. The learning curve of most projects is steep and it takes some time to get to the meatiest parts of the work. Be honest with yourself about the commitment you can make\, be frank with your faculty mentors\, and stick to your word. Communication and honesty in relationships\, including the mentoring relationship\, is key.\n\nSOURCE is a collaboration between Bouvé College of Health Sciences; College of Arts\, Media and Design; College of Engineering; College of Science; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; D’Amore-McKim School of Business; and Khoury College of Computer Science. It is coordinated by Undergraduate Research and Fellowships on behalf of the Office of the Chancellor.

SUMMARY:Urban-scale Measurements and Modeling Fate & Transport of PFAS Across Media
DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the PROTECT Center for a seminar with the EPA’s Dr. Kiran Alapaty\, who will deliver a talk titled “Urban-scale Measurements and Modeling Fate & Transport of PFAS Across Media.” \nSeminar Abstract: \nPer- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have gained attention due to their adverse health effects as well as unknown exposures to legacy and novel compounds. As many of these compounds are stable and persistent\, many PFAS compounds have been detected worldwide across different media in the total environment. Thus\, comprehensive multi-media PFAS chemical concentration data are needed to study PFAS human exposure and health impacts. While some PFAS measurements and exposure studies are available\, no comprehensive PFAS measurement data exist at a continental scale. Also\, it is not clear to the local and federal government agencies as to how to account for the spatiotemporal distributions of PFAS contamination and associated long-term health impacts. Such issues are acute at local to urban scales. Thus\, the in-depth understanding of fate and transport of PFAS across media is much needed and may provide critical information for stakeholders. \nThe Washington Works plant in Parkersburg\, West Virginia has emitted long-chain perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) into the environment for decades and at present\, it continues to emit hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid [(HFPO-DA)\, GenX]. A database for PFOA at Parkersburg was developed and these PFOA measurements in air\, water\, and soil provide a good opportunity to validate the multi-media modeling system. \nWe are tailoring a robust and efficient suite of modeling tools to simulate PFAS fate and transport in air\, water\, and soil at urban scales. For air\, a state-of-the-art dispersion model (QUIC) is being tested for PFAS air modeling. For other media\, we are testing two state-of-the-art USGS models (MODFLOW and MT3D) for groundwater\, the BreZo model for surface water\, and EPA’s model PRZM-5 for vadose zone. These modeling tools can be used at seasonal to decadal timescales\, and their PFOA estimations can be provided as input data to a high throughput physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to estimate human exposure to PFAS. The combination of multi-media modeling system and PBPK model bridges the gaps between PFAS emissions and human exposure estimates and thus can provide the basis for epidemiological studies. This research opens doors to study the association between human exposure to PFAS and specific human diseases. \nSpeaker Bio:  \nKiran Alapaty is the Senior Science Advisor in the Atmospheric & Environmental Systems Modeling Division in the ORD of US EPA. His research interests are in air quality modeling and model development\, PFAS life cycle modeling\, integrated assessment modeling\, convective cloud parameterization development\, boundary layer modeling\, climate change and exposure science\, and socio-economics. In the past\, he was the Chief of the Climate Branch of the AMA Division with research interests in improving regional climate data for use with exposure science research. \nBefore joining EPA in 2011\, for several years Kiran was at DOE HQ as a Program Director for the DOE’s national climate program managing DOE’s National Labs and research grants.  Prior to that\, he was also a Program Director at the National Science Foundation managing climate research at NCAR and academia. \nKiran holds an MS in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Sciences and a PhD in Atmospheric Science from North Carolina State University. \n  \nAbout the Lunch & Learn Seminar Series: \nA new Bimonthly seminar series from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)\, focusing on convergent research\, bringing together Northeastern colleagues and collaborators to think big/bold\, explore ideas that build cooperation\, and foster transformative innovation within CEE and across disciplines beyond CEE. \nDue to COVID restrictions\, this event remains virtual-only. Please bring your own lunch and join us online.

SUMMARY:CEE Seminar: Cycling for Sustainable Cities
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for this seminar on sustainable urban travel. \nABSTRACT: Cycling is the most sustainable means of urban travel\, practical for most short- and medium-distance trips—commuting to and from work and school\, shopping\, visiting friends—as well as for recreation and exercise. Cycling promotes physical\, social\, and mental health\, helps reduce car use\, enhances mobility and independence\, and is economical for both public and personal budgets. \nThis presentation explores how to make city cycling—the most sustainable means of travel—safe\, practical\, and convenient for all. Buehler and Pucher discuss the latest cycling trends and policies around the world and consider specific aspects of cycling. Taken together\, the presentation demonstrates that successful promotion of cycling depends on a coordinated package of mutually supportive infrastructure\, programs\, and policies. Cycling should be made feasible for everyone and not limited to especially fit\, daring\, well-trained cyclists riding expensive bicycles. \nBios: \nRalph Buehler: Ph.D. is Professor and Chair of Urban Affairs and Planning in the School of Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech’s Research Center in Arlington\, VA. Most of his research has an international comparative perspective\, contrasting transport and land-use policies\, transport systems\, and travel behavior in Western Europe and North America. Between 2012 and 2018\, he served as chair of the Committee for Bicycle Transportation of the Transportation Research Board (TRB). His research interests include: (1) the influence of transport policy\, land use\, and socio-demographics on travel behavior; (2) active travel and public health; and (3) public transport demand\, supply\, regional coordination\, and financial efficiency. \nJohn Pucher: Ph.D. is professor emeritus at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University\, in New Jersey.  He was a professor at Rutgers University from 1978 to 2014\, conducting research on urban transportation in the United States\, Canada\, Australia\, and Europe.  Over the past 25 years\, John’s research has focused on walking and bicycling\, and how to improve their safety and convenience for all age groups\, for women as well as men\, and for all levels of physical ability. John has published four books and over 200 articles in academic and professional journals.  His most recent book\, “Cycling for Sustainable Cities\,” was published by MIT Press in February 2021.

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Can AI Models Advance Our Understanding of Exposure to Local Scale Mobile Source Pollutants in Highly Urbanized Areas?
DESCRIPTION:The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department presents Distinguished Seminar speaker Deb Niemeier for this year’s Engineers Week events. \n\nLocation: This event is virtual\, free\, and open to the NU community. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\nCan AI Models Advance Our Understanding of Exposure to Local Scale Mobile Source Pollutants in Highly Urbanized Areas? \nDeb Niemeier\, PhD \nDeb Niemeier\, Ph.D.\nClark Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainability\, University of Maryland\, College Park \nABSTRACT: The surface topography\, emission source variation\, and population distribution of urban landscapes all lend themselves to highly variable air pollutant concentrations in urban areas; concentrations that can vary dramatically even within short distances. The spatial variations in air pollutant concentrations can be as large as the contrast between cities and epidemiological studies clearly show that within-city PM exposure is larger than the between-city effect. One of the critical gaps in our understanding is how to best characterize within-city air pollutant concentration gradients\, which is crucial for exposure assessment\, urban planning\, air pollution monitoring\, and environmental equity. The development of high accuracy portable pollution sensing instruments and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology\, the use of vehicles for mobile air pollution monitoring can be used to tackle some of the challenges of estimating pollutants based on stationary monitoring sites. These mobile sensors can typically achieve high spatial resolution for air pollutants measurement\, but generate incredible amounts of data. This talk explores the trade-offs between using different ML approaches to produce credible micro-scale estimates for regional or hotspot modeling. \nBIO: Deb Niemeier is the Clark Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainability at the University of Maryland\, College Park and serves as a professor in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She has extensive expertise in understanding the spatial properties of mobile source emissions\, developing new methods for improving vehicle emissions inventories\, and accelerating the implementation of regulatory guidance to better identify vulnerable populations and environmental health disparities. Her research is currently focused on understanding infrastructure features that give rise to inequitable outcomes in the built environment\, particularly with the onset of climate change. In 2014\, Niemeier was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for “distinguished contributions to energy and environmental science study and policy development.” In 2015\, she was named a Guggenheim Fellow for foundational work on pro bono service in engineering. In 2017\, she was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Niemeier received a B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Texas (1982)\, her M.S. from the University of Maine and a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Washington (1994). \nDownload Flyer (pdf)

SUMMARY:Uncertainty Quantification and Dynamic Response of Buildings and Tower Structures under Stationary and Non-stationary Wind Loads
DESCRIPTION:Luca Caracoglia \nDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering \nNortheastern University\, Boston\, Massachusetts\, USA \nlucac@coe.neu.edu \n  \nDate: Friday January 15th\, 2:30-4:30 pm (CET)\, 8:30-10:30am (EST) \nLink: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a864f3dfe8993442ca116fe24bd231662%40thread.tacv2/1610092407076?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%226e6ade15-296c-4224-ac58-1c8ec2fd53a8%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%226d036117-bf26-4ee2-95fa-124ff7fb3f76%22%7d \nAbstract: This presentation will review recent study activities examining the response of slender\, vertical structures under the effects of destructive wind loads. These large-period\, low-damping structures are sensitive to fluid-structure interaction and susceptible to damage induced by wind loads. The common feature of the research is the quantification of uncertain wind loads\, associated with both stationary synoptic winds and localized\, nonstationary events. The former are typical of large extra-tropical depressions and tropical cyclonic phenomena (at a scale of several hundred kilometers); the latter include thunderstorm downbursts and tornadoes (less than one kilometer in diameter). The research activities have been devoted to the examination of several methodologies for predicting the structural response by accounting for modeling uncertainty and measurement “errors”\, e.g. loads evaluated by wind tunnel tests. The investigated methods are both analytical (stochastic calculus) and numerical (Monte-Carlo sampling). The ultimate goal of the research is the evaluation of wind-related damage over time in the context of risk analysis. \nThis presentation will include characterization of the dynamic response through multi-variable probability density functions and examination of lifecycle wind-related damage through intervention cost analysis. Examples will consider interactions on the envelope of tall buildings under various wind load scenarios and aeroelastic vibration causing damages primarily to nonstructural elements. The results will demonstrate that it is possible to predict the structural response and its consequences\, even in the presence of large modeling and experimental load variability\, provided that uncertainty propagation is extended to all the stages of structural analysis. These stages should possibly consider wind field simulation\, wind-pressure load assessment and fluid-structure interaction. \nBio-sketch: Luca Caracoglia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Northeastern University\, Boston\, Massachusetts\, USA. He joined Northeastern University in 2005. Prior to this appointment\, he was a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, Maryland (USA) in 2001-2002 and a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign\, USA) in 2002-2004. He received his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from the University of Trieste\, Italy in 2001. His interests are in structural dynamics\, random vibration\, wind engineering\, fluid-structure interaction of civil engineering structures\, nonlinear cable network dynamics\, energy harvesting systems in wind energy.
