Research Highlight - NIST Bridge Project

Exciting New Technologies Used for NIST Bridge Infrastructure Project

Many exciting new technologies are being utilized for a project led by Dr. Jerry Lynch and funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The project focuses on bridge infrastructure, and techniques to improve monitoring and maintenance systems. Now it it's second year, the project has participants from various departments in the College of Engineering, and the private sector. Among the research thrusts are wireless technology from CEE, power harvesting technology from EECS, and self-structuring antenna technology from Monarch Antenna, Inc. These represent just a portion of the wide range of disciplines included in the project, all of which will help create new, innovative solutions to the problem of aging infrastructure all across the United States.
