Current CAE Focus related to Cluster
CAE Faculty have been addressing structure and infrastructure resilience in a holistic way from investigations on the biocompatibility and durability of cementitious materials and the deployment of non-corrosive rebars in coastal structures and infrastructure components to the morphogenesis of novel systems for traditional applications as well as smart structures. For example, faculty have been working on developing efficient and cost-effective shoreline protection systems with adaptive features that provide a hospitable environment for marine life. Faculty have also been working on community resilience aspects, such as building adaptation against flooding, as well as enhancing engineering education.
Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Collaboration
CAE Faculty have already established research collaborations with faculty from Arts & Sciences (A&S), the School of Architecture (SoA), and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). Many of those collaborations focus around topics associated with coastal resilience. Therefore, having additional faculty in this area combined with UM’s unique experimental resources (SUSTAIN Facility) and Miami’s general vulnerability to climate change can promote the Department to a reaserach hub for coastal structure resilience.
