CEE PhD student Joe Charbonnet was named the winner of the UC-wide 2018 Grad Slam Championship.
Last month, Charbonnet placed first, and was the People's Choice winner, in Berkeley's 2018 championship. As Berkeley's champion, he advanced to the UC-wide competition.
Competing students had to explain their research and its value in 3 minutes or less to an audience that was savvy, but unfamiliar with the field.
CEE Professor Scott Moura and CEE Affiliated Professor Marta Gonzalez co-authored "Planning for electric vehicle needs by coupling charging profiles with urban mobility,” which was recently published in Nature Energy, a Nature research journal.
Given the increasing ubiquity of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in the Bay Area, the article aims to assist planning decisions by providing timing recommendations and assigning monetary values to modulations of PEV start and end charging times.
Each year the CEE Department honors recipients of the CEE Undergraduate Scholarships. These awards, unlike the undergraduate awards available through Berkeley's Financial Aid Office, are awarded by the Department.
This year CEE awarded a total of $26,800 to 14 deserving undergraduates.
Nelly Alandou, CEE MEng '18, used a MEng "Career Odyssey" assignment to pursue her alternative life of being an artist, as well as a career in transportation engineering.
Alandou hosted an art exhibition titled "Action Reaction" in April at the International Hotel in San Francisco.
Adjunct Professor Robert Kayen presented the Keynote Lecture at the ASCE Utility Engineering & Surveying Institute (UESI) 2018 Surveying & Geomatics Conference, in Pomona, California, April 22-24. See Program.
Besieged by commuters taking Waze-powered shortcuts, Leonia, New Jersey, closed its side streets to non-residents. Not everyone is happy with the results.
Leonia's ordinance might be the most dramatic example of a town taking drastic measures to combat the effects of a disruptive mobility technology. It raises a host of thorny questions about the responsibilities of private companies when they impact public space, and how government can, and should, respond.
“Demographic explosion and the growth of urban areas are just going to make this problem worse,” said Bayen.
Professor Sanjay Govindjee received a Humboldt-Forschungspreis (Humboldt Research Award) from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany. He received it in the area of Mechanics.
