The research will investigate current scalability concerns in relation to the application of these rigorous solvers in structural-health monitoring.
Clean Energy - Understanding hydrate formation in porous rock for enhanced geothermal energy
An enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is a renewable energy technology that extracts energy from a naturally occurring heat source. EGS technology injects a fluid under high pressure, typically water, down into rock subsurface, fracturing the rock and enabling access to the thermal reservoir. One of the challenges in this technology is mineral precipitation. This project aims to understand how the precipitation (nucleation) of these minerals occurs in different rock types.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the Environment
Investigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) development and dissemination in the One Health context—the interaction between human, agricultural and environmental health.

College of engineering, nbc 5 chicago asked professor ansari how chicago would handle an earthquake, 1 heading link copy link.
After a 4.8 magnitude earthquake rattled New Jersey and the densely populated New York City metropolitan area on April 5, NBC Chicago’s Christian Farr reached out to UIC Distinguished Professor and Christopher B. and Susan S. Burke Professor of Civil Engineering Farhad Ansari for an expert opinion on how Chicago would hold up during an earthquake.
“Earthquake loads are horizontal to the ground, and wind loads are the same,” said Ansari, explaining how Chicago buildings are designed to handle high winds, which will also help protect against earthquakes.
“You will see that this building was designed well from the earthquake and wind-induced vibrations because it is a pyramid shape where the base floor has more stability than the top floors.”

Ccee graduate student selected for university nuclear leadership program fellowship.
CCEE master’s student Will Ashe (BSCE 2023) was selected for the University Nuclear Leadership Program Fellowship by the Department of Energy (DOE). The graduate fellowship program provides $169,000 over three years to support graduate research relevant to nuclear energy and includes a summer internship at a DOE national laboratory or approved facility.
“I am super excited to receive this fellowship,” Ashe said. “Considering it is primarily given to nuclear engineering students, I was shocked to have been selected. As a civil engineering student, this is a unique opportunity.”
Ashe works with Associate Professor & Edward I. Weisiger Distinguished Scholar Kevin Han and Professor Abhinav Gupta as part of NC State’s interdisciplinary Center for Nuclear Energy Facilities and Structures (CNEFS). The mission of CNEFS is to perform research on innovative but rigorous solutions to problems in nuclear power plants and to transfer this technology to the industry. The solutions reduce uncertainty, increase safety and reduce the cost of operation of existing plants and of building new ones.
Ashe’s research is focused on Finite Element Modeling change detections. As part of the research, he is creating a computer program to automatically detect changes engineers make in Finite Element models.
“The long-term research project I plan to work on through my Ph. D. is Finite Element to Building Information Modeling interoperability (FEM-BIM interoperability),” Ashe said. “This research works toward allowing global compatibility among structural software platforms.”
Ashe said he hopes to grow as a leader and a student in the program.
“I also want to use this opportunity to become a mentor for other students interested in interdisciplinary research. With my research, I ultimately plan to work toward streamlining nuclear facility construction, making nuclear energy more accessible and feasible.”
