Feature Story Archive

Kyle Herrera with his team

What are you working on, Kyle?

Kyle Herrera is a master’s student in civil engineering. His team is developing a procedure to identify, quantify, and classify marine debris objects using drones and polarimetric imaging.

Almeda Fire

Preparing for nature's worst, S11E8

What is Oregon doing to prepare for earthquakes, tsunamis, and wildfire? Researchers at Oregon State University are working with the state Legislature to help them make informed decisions about how to prepare for natural hazards.

Barbara Simpson earns NSF CAREER Award

With her early-career award from the National Science Foundation, Barbara Simpson will harness the massive parallelism of GPUs to create real-time hybrid simulations of complex structures.

Lighting new pathways for architectural engineering opportunities

Clotilde Pierson recently joined the faculty of the architectural engineering program, bringing to the College of Engineering new expertise in daylighting and its effects on the built environment and its occupants.

Dune erosion solutions, S11E7

Can plants fortify Oregon’s coastal dunes against storm surge? Meagan Wengrove, assistant professor of coastal and ocean engineering, built scale versions of dunes in one of the world’s largest wave flumes to find out.

Men standing by an airport runway

Saving PDX, S11E5

What will it take for Oregon to recover after a magnitude 9.0 Cascadia subduction zone earthquake? Among other things, it will need a major airport to receive the tons of relief supplies from around the world.

Faculty interacting with instruments

What’s in the water after a wildfire? S11E4

Wildfires that devastate mountain communities have the potential to foul the water distribution system running underneath residential structures. But knowing which water pipes have been affected is challenging.

The art of engineering buildings

Alex Saccente was going to study art when she went to college. Art was her passion, and she’d been painting and sketching for years. Her high school teachers had a different idea, though.

When the Earth moves

What happens to bridges, buildings, and pipelines when the soil holding them up behaves like a liquid? Ben Mason, associate professor geotechnical engineering, has traveled the world doing post-earthquake reconnaissance to find out and make us better.

Civil grad student awarded Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship

Amy Wyman, a second-year doctoral student in civil engineering, has been awarded a prestigious graduate fellowship from the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship Program.
