Electrical Energy Transitions: CISR Research Discussion
Date: Monday, November 11, 2024 from noon to 1 p.m.
Location: Library 103 and Zoom.
Join a research presentation and discussion by Chee-Wooi Ten, professor of electrical and computer engineering, Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC) site director, director of the Institute of Computing and Cybersystems’ Center for Cyber-Physical Systems (ICC CPS), and Fall 2024 CISR Faculty Fellow.
Ten is leading research projects and development opportunities to build a more sustainable and resilient electrical energy system for Michigan Tech and the Western Upper Peninsula. This work involves complex systems engineering, integration of domains such as efficiency and vehicle electrification, and partnerships with campus and community stakeholders. In this talk and discussion, Ten will share more about some of his current work and reflect on the opportunities for integrated partnerships that can advance a more sustainable and resilient electrical energy system for the campus and the region.

Community Resilience Planning: CISR Research Discussion
Date: Monday, October 28, 2024 from noon to 1 p.m.
Location: Zoom
Join CISR for a virtual research talk with John Van de Lindt, Harold H. Short Endowed Professor of Structural Engineering at Colorado State University and co-director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-funded Center of Excellence for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning. This center has developed IN-CORE, a platform that models the impact of natural hazards on communities for risk-based community resilience planning. The presentation will provide an overview of IN-CORE, including the science behind measuring community resilience, and several examples of improving community resilience through retrofits and/or policies. At the end, the community web applications developed for community partnerships and a video showcasing a soon-to-be-released IN-CORE Studio for users will be shown.
