GAANN Fellowship Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Research
Structures are subject to deterioration from a variety of environmental and operating conditions as well as from extreme loading events. The importance of developing systems that can provide assessments of the state of health and the methodologies needed for optimal interventions, when required, is a well recognized need.
The response to this challenge requires work that is intrinsically multidisciplinary, since it spans from improvement and development of hardware associated with sensing, to analytical work connected with identification, modeling and simulation, to the selection of materials and optimal strategies for rehabilitation and repair.
The interdisciplinary doctor of philosophy program in Sensing, Identification, Diagnostics, and Rehabilitation (SIDR) of Structural Systems offered by the College of Engineering at Northeastern University has been designed to provide the training and the research support structure needed for fruitful contributions in advancing the state of the art in monitoring diagnostics and rehabilitation of structural systems.
College of Engineering
Three research centers housed in the College of Engineering are intimately connected with the mission of SIDR: the NSF funded Engineering Research Center (ERC) for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems, the NSF funded Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) for High-rate Nanomanufacturing, and the Communications and Digital Signal Processing Center (CDSP).
