ARCE-Computer Science Team Presents at American Concrete Institution Convention

October 14-18, 2017

On October 14-18, 2017, assistant professor Anahid Behrouzi attended the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Convention in Anaheim, CA. Dr. Behrouzi was joined by assistant professor of computer science Maria Pantoja and undergraduate ARCE student Jack Bergquist. In the ACI 133 Reconnaissance Committee and the “Research in Progress” session, the team presented on-going research work related to automated detection and classification of structural damage in post-earthquake images of reinforced concrete buildings. 

The team would also like to acknowledge contributions of undergraduate computer science students, Bradley Patterson and Garrett Leone, whose work was included in the presentations at ACI. The team would like to thank the Cal Poly’s Interdisciplinary Projects Program for enabling undergraduate ARCE student Jack Bergquist to attend the ACI convention via a CPConnect grant. Additionally, they would like to thank the Research and Economic Development office for generous support of student involvement in the project via a Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities (RCSA) grant.
