In a new study by Berkeley CEE Professor Alexandre Bayen collaborates with UC Berkeley CITRIS and the Banatao Institute where the team examines how routing-app interventions can help reduce traffic congestion in urban areas.
Berkeley CEE Professor Paulo Monteiro co-led a new study revealing how ancient Roman concrete structures have remained durable for nearly 2,000 years. Published in Science Advances, the research identifies carbonation as an important process contributing to the long-term strength and resilience of Roman concrete.
Berkeley CEE Professor Marta González was recently featured in InterDialogues, where she discussed how complexity science, mobility data, and artificial intelligence are transforming the study of cities. In the interview, González highlights how data-driven research can help address challenges related to transportation, sustainability, and urban equity, with a particular focus on improving mobility and quality of life in Latin America.

UC Berkeley Civil and Environmental Engineering Class of 2026 celebrated over three commencement ceremonies this May, honoring more than 2,000 bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree recipients. Family, friends, faculty, and staff gathered to recognize graduates as they completed their Berkeley journeys and prepared for the next chapter. The CEE community was especially proud to see two members of the CEE family recognized as keynote speakers for this year’s ceremonies.
Professor Kenichi Soga received ASCE Ralph B. Peck Award this year and delivered the Ralph B. Peck Lecture at Geo-Congress 2026 in Salt Lake City. Ralph B. Peck Lecture is one of the notable invited lectures in geotechnical engineering, recognizing major contributions to the field and providing a platform for leading researchers to share perspectives on engineering practice, innovation, and future challenges.
Researchers from UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design (CED) Department of Architecture and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's (CEE) Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials (SEMM) program have received the 2025 Tsuboi Award from the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS) for the most outstanding paper presented at the IASS Annual Symposium in México City.
