Welcome to the Center for Infrastructure, Energy, and Space Testing (CIEST) at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder, an experimental facility offering geotechnical centrifuges, structural dynamics and materials testing and research for business, government, and academic
A University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder team is part of a major international effort to sample surfaces and the air on mass transit vehicles. Two major international journals have published articles on the research, which included teams from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder
As the global pandemic developed, keeping adequate personal distance and using effective ventilation systems were emphasized to control the spread of COVID-19 – especially in confined spaces. That is because social distancing avoids direct contact
Anna Libey, a PhD student in environmental engineering at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder, is the lead author on a new paper that compares utilities around the world and advocates for more subsidization in utility operations to provide clean water. The paper – titled “
Since the summer, Professor Mark Hernandez and his team have been working in the Denver district’s classrooms to install a new generation of high-efficiency air filters.
The World Bank estimates that nearly a billion people across the globe lack access to an all-season road within two kilometers of their home. It’s a problem the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering and their collaborators are working to better quantify and solve.
Frost quakes are not particularly rare, but they are harder to observe than traditional earthquakes. Professor Roseanna Neupauer was part of a recent effort to develop new models with the Oulu, Finland, 2016 quake data, the results of which are discussed in a new paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Environmental engineering Assistant Professor Cresten Mansfeldt's research was highlighted in a CNN article about testing wastewater for evidence of COVID-19.
Professor Richard Regueiro, along with four other co-directors, is leading a new Multi-disciplinary Simulation Center funded by the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Advanced Simulation and Computing program in support of the stockpile stewardship program.
Professor Karl Linden's article in "The Conversation" on how to best to harness UV light to fight the spread of the COVID-19 virus and protect human health as people work, study, and shop indoors.
