CUE Research Centers and Groups
AI4CE Lab
The AI4CE Lab works to advance fundamental automation and intelligence technologies, to enable their use in civil and mechanical engineering applications.
Behavioral Urban Informatics, Logistics, and Transport Laboratory (BUILT)
BUILT @ NYU conducts research in the area of transportation systems design and modeling.
Building Informatics and Visualization Lab (BiLab)
The biLAB focuses on understanding the operational challenges associated with construction and operation of facilities and infrastructure systems in urban settings.
Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP)
The Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) is an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to the application of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the service of urban communities across the globe. Using New York City as our laboratory and classroom, we strive to develop novel data- and technology-driven solutions for complex urban problems.
Composite Materials and Mechanics Laboratory
CMML focuses on research related to lightweight highly damage tolerant materials and aims at understanding the fundamental role of porosity in materials. The specialty of the lab is in the area of hollow particle filled composites called syntactic foams and in dynamic characterization of materials.
Connected Communities for Smart Mobility towards Accessible and Resilient Transportation for Equitably Reducing Congestion (C2SMARTER)
C2SMARTER, a USDOT Tier 1 University Transportation Center, uses cities as living laboratories to study challenging transportation problems and find solutions from the unprecedented recent advances in communication and smart technologies.
Emerge Lab
The mission of the EMERGE lab is to make it easy and efficient to develop capable, safe, and intelligent multi-agent systems through learning, simulation, and data. We emphasive use-inspired basic research where we draw inspiration as to what research is needed from specific problems in multi-agent autonomy and transportation.
FEATS: Lab For the Economic Analysis of Transportation Systems
Led by Assistant Professor Daniel A. Vignon, the lab aims to inform the design, regulation, and operations of emerging mobility services. Research looks at infrastructure systems, ride-hailing services, and dynamics of transportation systems.
Geotechnical Impact Engineering Laboratories
Our focus is on the application of engineering mechanics to understand the origin of penetration resistance of natural condensed matter. Our program interests are currently focused on the burial of unexploded ordnance in water-over-soil environments, but past work has included terrestrial earth penetrators, anchor embedment, and tunneling. A collaboration with Manhattan College Department of Civil Engineering.
Hydrologic Systems Group
We combine statistical and computational methods to study the dynamics of water in various built and natural environments. These hydrologic systems can be as diverse as natural watersheds, meandering rivers, urban stormwater infrastructures, mesoscale rainfall fields, and flooded geographies. .
Ruyle Lab
The Ruyle lab examines how human activity, the biosphere, and climate change impact water quality. Our lab uses controlled experiments and environmental measurements to build models describing the severity and impacts of chemical contamination. Our goal is to protect safe water and ensure healthy ecosystems and communities.
Silverman Laboratory
The Silverman Laboratory conducts research to understand and design sustainable and appropriate wastewater treatment process, in an effort to protect public health and environmental quality.
Urban Flooding Group
In a climate-changed world, flooding is expected to have an outsized influence on public health and infrastructure in urban areas. We are looking to develop a publicly- accessible platform that provides real-time flood information and to investigate changes to the microbiome.
Urban Intelligence Lab
We are focused on creating new data-driven methodologies to observe, model, and analyze the urban environment. Our work is grounded in solving real-world problems and providing decision-makers with a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between physical infrastructure systems, natural systems, and human systems.
Urban Modeling Group
Our mission is to change the way urban engineering is done by bridging the gap between Civil Engineering and Computer Science. We focus on developing tools to better understand the urban built environment through pioneering new means to optimize and synthesize multi-modal data collection, storage, and processing.
