A Webinar: Metamaterials Break the Constraints of Traditional Civil Infrastructure
Civil infrastructure has long relied on traditional materials like concrete and steel, whose performance is largely fixed by composition. Mechanical metamaterials offer a new approach—engineering internal geometry to create structures that are lighter, stronger, and more resilient.
This webinar will explore how metamaterials can improve vibration control, seismic performance, and structural efficiency across buildings, transportation systems, and other infrastructure. It will also highlight emerging possibilities such as built-in sensing, energy harvesting, and AI-driven design that could transform the future of civil infrastructure.

Speaker:
Dr. Amir H. Alavi is an Associate Professor and B.P. America Faculty Fellow in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. His research focuses on novel engineered material systems, including mechanical metamaterials and nanogenerator composites, with an emphasis on additive manufacturing, computational modeling, and multifunctional design across nano to macro scales. Dr. Alavi is also Editor-in-Chief of npj Metamaterials, a Nature Portfolio journal. His work has earned major recognitions including the NSF CAREER Award, the NIH Trailblazer Award, and the ASME Rising Star of Mechanical Engineering Award. His work has been highlighted in local and national news outlets, including the Post-Gazette, NBC, ABC, CBS-affiliated television stations, and The New York Times. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from Michigan State University.

A presentation about the infrastructure improvements in downtown and around the NFL draft
Market Square and Arts Landing are the cornerstones of Downtown’s revitalization plan announced in 2024 by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, Allegheny County, City of Pittsburgh, and Urban Redevelopment Authority and Governor Shapiro’s 10-year $600-million-dollar plan to transform Downtown Pittsburgh.
As one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic and heavily trafficked public spaces, Market Square is undergoing a transformation focused on ensuring it remains one of the most vibrant and welcoming places in the region. Designed by renowned landscape architecture firm Field Operations, the transformation includes infrastructure improvements, upgraded pedestrian pathways, enhanced lighting, expanded public seating areas and a new central anchor pavilion structure. The modernization aims to create a more vibrant, accessible, and connected urban civic center that serves more than three million residents, businesses, and visitors annually.
Arts Landing, a new outdoor civic space envisioned by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and also designed by Field Operations, promises to be one of the most transformative projects in the Cultural District in 25 years. The creatively designed and community focused four-acre destination will welcome residents and visitors, host festivals and performances, exhibit public art, and provide opportunities for everyday recreation and relaxation.

A Webinar – Multi-Modal Data Analytics for Predictive Human-AI Collaboration in Civil Infrastructure Systems
Civil infrastructure systems—from bridges and water utilities to airport and highway operations—demand safe, resilient, and adaptive management in environments where uncertainty, time pressure, and system interdependence often challenge human performance. This presentation introduces a multi-modal data analytics framework for predictive human-AI collaboration that integrates sensor data, human behavioral traces, and simulation feedback to enhance safety, consistency, and situational awareness across infrastructure domains. By combining human expertise with machine intelligence, the framework enables AI systems to learn from real-world decision patterns while providing interpretable, context-aware support for operators and inspectors.
Case studies will highlight applications in bridge inspection, water system monitoring, and airport operations, showing how cognitive and behavioral modeling can reveal variability in human strategies and inform adaptive AI assistance. For bridge and water systems, computer vision, augmented reality, and virtual inspection tools demonstrate how inspectors’ visual and tactile cues can be transformed into explainable digital insights to guide maintenance and asset management. In airport and transportation operations, predictive analytics using Bayesian inference and recurrent neural networks forecast high-risk events such as loss-of-separation or flow bottlenecks, supporting proactive intervention. Together, these approaches establish a scalable foundation for human-AI teaming in civil infrastructure—improving reliability, trust, and resilience across the full infrastructure life cycle.
Presenter
Dr. Pingbo Tang is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where he leads research on Human-AI collaboration and multi-modal data analytics for resilient civil infrastructure systems. His work integrates computer vision, simulation, and human systems engineering to improve decision-making in domains such as bridge inspection, water system operations, airport traffic control, and highway construction. By modeling human cognition and operational behavior, Dr. Tang develops AI-enabled inspection and training systems that enhance consistency, safety, and resource efficiency in infrastructure management.
He has published over 160 peer-reviewed papers and leads several federally funded projects supported by NSF, DOT, DOE, and NASA. His innovations—including AR-guided inspection tools, sensor-integrated digital twins, and predictive analytics for infrastructure operations—advance both scientific understanding and workforce development. Dr. Tang is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award and the ASCE Daniel W. Halpin Award for Scholarship in Construction, and serves as Associate Editor of the ASCE Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering and a founding editor of Journal of Developments in the Built Environment (Elsevier).
