Stevens Researchers Take Aim at Weather Forecasters’ Biggest Blind Spot

More accurate ‘nowcasting’ algorithms are needed to effectively support community responses to sudden storms, floods and other emergencies. Enter the researchers in Dr. Marouane Temimi's lab, who are pursuing improvements in these algorithms and weather data that can develop into more versatile, accurate nowcasting models.

GRANTS & AWARDS

Temimi and Liu Awarded $863K Grant to Develop Computer-Vision System to Monitor U.S. Waterway Conditions

$1.2M NSF Grant Led by Stevens For Development of Cyber-Physical System for Self-Adaptive Multi-Damage Monitoring of Civil Infrastructure

The National Science Foundation's grant to assistant professors Kaijian Liu (PI) and Yi Bao will fuel their collaborative project with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: a more cost-effective multi-damage infrastructure monitoring system.

Mohammed Ilbeigi Awarded $190K Grant from NSF to Develop Automated Damage Assessment Approaches

Assistant Professor Mohammed Ilbeigi received $190K from the National Science Foundation for NSF for his project "Multi-Agent Adaptive Data Collection for Automated Post-Disaster Rapid Damage Assessment.  Through this funding, Dr. Ilbeigi will develop automated damage assessment approaches that will enable first responders to make data-informed and time-sensitive decisions in the aftermath of natural disasters.

RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Growing Quinoa With Zero Waste

With the global population predicted to hit 10 billion people by 2050, crop scientists and environmental engineers are working to help reduce the climate burden of the food system and keep up with increasing needs. Two environmental engineering majors partnered on their senior design project to address this issue.
