All graduate students use state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities as they focus their research on engineering problems and applied science topics that include:

• bridge monitoring and infrastructure health
• geopolymer/Portland cement free concrete
• strength of materials ranging from Antarctic ice to novel composite building materials
• indoor air quality
• bioenergy production and the associated life cycle environmental impacts
• fate of contaminants in air, water and soil systems
• air quality monitoring and modeling
• oil spill modeling and environmental impacts
• river and ocean ice dynamics
• hydrologic, river and coastal processes
• structural dynamics and control
