Jie Gong and a team of university and high school students – along with a robot named Echo – are creating three-dimensional digital models of the Zimmerli Art Museum to help visitors who have low vision, are blind, or have other conditions navigate inside and outside the museum safely.
Since my sophomore year, I’ve been a research assistant for the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) laboratory on its Bridge Resource program. I helped create iron rebar sensors for bridge analysis, which I was actually able to help install on sections of the New Jersey Turnpike. My experience with CAIT allowed me to contribute to a local project that worked hand-in-hand with the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
Climate change poses a potentially devastating threat to the nation’s bridges, with a PLOS ONE article recently predicting the collapse of one in four US bridges as a result of extreme temperatures by 2050. This summer – Earth’s hottest ever – heat waves blanketed the tri-state area, wreaking havoc on New York City’s Third Avenue Bridge, by keeping it stuck in open position on a scorching August day.
