The central aim of my research is to establish sensing and computing methodologies that enable swift and reliable prediction, control, and planning for smart and interconnected civil infrastructure systems (CIS) under uncertainty.
Background
Negin Alemazkoor is an Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia in the Department of Engineering systems and Environment. She received her PhD in Civil Engineering with a minor in Statistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology and a M.S. in Transportation Engineering from Texas A&M University.
Dr. Alemazkoor’s current research mainly focuses on developing computational tools for analysis of smart and resilient infrastructure systems with an emphasis on power and transportation systems. She has received secured more than $300K grants from various funding agencies including NSF, VDOT, and CCI.
Dr. Alemazkoor has been invited to attend the Rising Stars in Computational and Data Science workshop hosted by University of Texas at Austin and Sandia National Laboratory in 2019 and selected as one of the 20 female graduate students and postdocs invited to MIT’s 2017 CEE Rising Stars workshop. Dr. Alemazkoor has also been recognized for her teaching excellence for four semesters at the University of Virginia.
