Graduate Student Spotlight
 

 
Brooke Traynham
Civil and Environmental Engineering/Earth and Environmental Science
Research Area:  Long term monitoring of hazardous chemical and radioactive waste sites.

 
Chris Shantz
Civil Engineering
Research Area: My study in risk and reliability engineering is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. I am developing a comprehensive and systematic risk assessment and management methodology for rotorcraft damage tolerance (RCDT) within a research project sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration. The outcomes will be beneficial for enhancing the continued airworthiness and economical operations of rotorcraft.
 

 
Ghanshyam Pal
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Research Area: My research focuses on multiscale modeling of failure of thin heterogeneous structures e.g. composite materials. Modeling of these structures via conventional 3D finite element approach involves huge computational cost. Therefore, in order to cut down the computational expenditure associated, reduced order homogenization technique will be employed. 

 
James Hill
Computer Science
Research area: Quality-of-service enabled middleware and model-drivenengineering, computer science.
