Until recently, research on automated vehicles (AVs) and human driver interaction was not a well-studied subject in the realm of transportation. A team of graduate students in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has dedicated the last few years to looking deeper into this area.
Collaborating with Orange County, California, and El Paso, Texas, municipalities, Dr. Shankar Chellam and a team of researchers are investigating how to improve the filters used to purify water. In doing so, they are taking a deeper look into how to turn wastewater into clean, drinkable water.
