Civil Engineering Researchers are Teaching AI how to Sort your Recycling

"A pizza box can feel like a recycling pop quiz. It's cardboard, but there's also the greasy bottom and cheese residue. Should the box go into the blue recycling bin or into the trash? The wrong decision may seem like a harmless toss, but it can have serious consequences — ones that technologists are hoping artificial intelligence can remedy." - Sarah Sloat, Business Insider

Wei Li Wins NSF Grant

Dr. Wei Li, assistant professor of the Department of Civil Engineering at SBU, has been awarded a prestigious three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a groundbreaking collaborative project titled, "Stress-Tensor Tomography in 3D Fluid-Coupled Granular Media". The research, led by Dr. Li at SBU in partnership with Dr. Ruben Juanes at MIT, aims to advance our fundamental understanding of granular material behavior when coupled with fluids--a critical knowledge in the prediction and mitigation of geohazards.
