civil and infrastructure engineering

Dave Lattanzi, an associate professor in the Sid and Reva Dewberry Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering has examined structures as diverse as 20th-century bridges, ancient towers, the sunken hull of a Confederate submarine, a naval destroyer, and most recently, images of human bruises. This work produced a series of strategies and tools that promote safety, enhance resiliency, and improve health, all connected by data analysis and image diagnostics.  

New CEC professor Catalina Gonzalez-Duenas studies how communities are impacted by large-scale disasters.

The ASCE Student Chapter at George Mason University hosted a regional competition showcasing George Mason's high-end facilities and enhancing to the experiential learning opportunities.

Associate Dean Deborah Goodings will use her expertise and experience to serve on a task force of the White House National Infrastructure Advisory Council

Certain types of mushrooms—or fungi—may have a place in infrastructure, potentially saving costly repairs and time. Xijin “Emma” Zhang, assistant professor in civil engineering, is researching this relatively new area of engineering and other green technology solutions for common challenges.

Celso Ferreira in George Mason University's College of Engineering and Computing is studying the impact of climate change on jobs in the Chesapeake Bay region.
