CESR Seed Funding Winners
CESR Seed Funding Awards support innovative, high-risk, and/or enabling collaborative research to enhance engineering sustainability and resilience. All projects represent new collaborations among the faculty members and provide support for graduate student(s) and/or postdoctoral fellow(s). Results from these projects will be presented at a Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience poster session in spring 2022 and will provide preliminary data to support proposals for funding from federal agencies, foundations and/or industry.
