Shideh Dashti, a professor of geotechnical engineering and geomechanics, has received a Fulbright award to study the combined impacts of seismic and rainfall-related geohazards at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC). The project seeks to advance infrastructure design and engineering education by shifting the focus from single-hazard approaches to addressing the compound effects these hazards pose to critical infrastructure.
Assistant Professor Julie Korak discusses how aging water infrastructure is contributing to repeated water system failures in small Colorado communities like Victor and Walsenburg. Korak says smaller municipalities often face greater challenges maintaining and upgrading decades-old water systems due to limited staff and resources.
Marguerite Lorenzo is researching how low-impact residential development affects water quantity and quality in the West Stroh Gulch watershed in Parker, Colorado. The findings will help clarify how urbanization is impacting hydrology in the greater Denver area.
CU Boulder’s ASCE student chapter competed at the Rocky Mountain Student Symposium, held April 23–25 and hosted by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. In addition to the canoe competition, the team competed in the Timber-Strong category for the first time, earning a third-place finish.
In this article in The Conversation, Professors Gregor Henze and Sean Shaheen explain how waste heat from data centers could be reused to warm nearby buildings if the centers are carefully designed, constructed and operated.
Research Professor Edith Zagona leads the development of RiverWare, a widely used modeling platform that helps simulate how water moves through the basin.
Associate Professor Ben Livneh, who’s also the director of the Western Water Assessment (WWA) at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), shares insights on what this “snow drought” means for water availability, how it compares to past trends and what may lie ahead as Colorado approaches peak snowpack season.
Distinguished Professor Karl Linden is one of 22 faculty being recognized with this year’s Exceptional Graduate Faculty Mentor Award. The Exceptional Graduate Faculty Mentor Award recognizes the work that faculty mentors do to improve the graduate student experience.
During Women's History Month, we honor Professor Emerita JoAnn Silverstein, who forged an unconventional path that helped pave the way for women in CU Boulder’s College of Engineering and Applied Science.
Professor Gregor Henze was recently awarded Fellow status by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). ASHRAE Fellow is a membership grade that recognizes individuals who have
