Students in the Spotlight
Safer Roadways and Equitable Future
Doctoral student Saquib Haroon is building machine learning models to identify disparities in traffic safety between different vehicles and demographics. With better insight on traffic incidents, the most affected can be better protected.
"We all need to understand that not everything in this world is going to be equal and focus on ensuring those who are disadvantaged receive adequate resources."
Benefits Beyond Research
Civil and Architectural Engineering and mechanics graduate student Uddav Ghimire works at the crossroads of mining and sustainability, studying essential fields like risk assessment and soil stabilization. His work helps improve human health and has been cited by multiple academic journals.
"Engineering has never just been about equations or design – it’s about the impact his work creates. He sets the bar incredibly high."
Tejo Bheemasetti, assistant professor of civil and architectural engineering and mechanics
