CEE Professors Moura and Zekkos Receive 2022 Seed Awards

Congratulations to CEE Professors Scott Moura and Dimitrios Zekkos for receiving the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) 2022 Seed Awards! Their research proposals examine battery health degradation for electric off-road vehicles and using uncrewed aerial systems (UAVs) or drones to collect data and monitor methane emissions from landfills.

CEE Researchers to Help Northern California Communities Reduce Wildfire Risk with Dynamic Modeling

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded $2.5 million to an interdisciplinary, multicampus University of California research team, partnering with Bay Area agencies and community organizations to help residents respond to natural disasters more efficiently.

Led by CEE Professor Kenichi Soga, the researchers will use the grant to create an interdisciplinary framework simulating wildfire evacuation methods in Bay Area communities, Marin County, and the city of Oakland in Alameda County.

How Much Are We Exposed to Emissions from Road Construction Activities?

CEE researchers co-authored a paper describing the process of developing a novel model quantifying PM2.5 exposure impacts from operating and maintaining paved roads in the San Francisco Bay Area. The paper was co-authored by Postdoctoral Associate Fiona Greer (Ph.D., CEE 2021), ECIC Ph.D. student Ahmad Bin Thaneya, and Professors Arpad Horvath and Joshua Apte in Environmental Research Letters.
