DESCRIPTION:Dr Long Wang\n13:00 – 14:00 – Dr Long Wang\nGraduate Stude
 nt Researcher\, University of California\, San Diego\, USA\n\nTowards Cybe
 r-Physical Systems - A Multifunctional Materials Perspective\n\nRapid glob
 al urbanization has been drastically transforming the built environment an
 d human life. To accommodate the increasing urban population\, $78 trillio
 n is expected to be invested on infrastructure over the next 10 years. For
 ming the backbone of the global economy\, infrastructure systems are nonet
 heless vulnerable to multi-hazards (i.e.\, natural and man-made disasters)
  and aging (i.e.\, structural performance degradation). To enhance urban r
 esilience and sustainability\, cyber-physical systems (CPS) have been prop
 osed to measure the performance of a physical system (e.g.\, infrastructur
 e and human occupants) and interact with the physical world based on data-
 driven analyses conducted in the cyber system.\n\nOne of the most crucial 
 components of the CPS is the sensing system that provides data streams for
  digitizing the physical world. However\, the complex damage modes\, drast
 ically different materials\, intricate geometries\, and diverse operationa
 l environments make it challenging for conventional sensors to effectively
  quantify structural health and human performance. Multifunctional materia
 ls\, on the other hand\, can be designed to realize novel sensing mechanis
 ms that could be better suited for extracting relevant damage features and
  tailored for specific engineering applications. Therefore\, this work aim
 s to tackle the grand challenge of obtaining high-quality\, scalable\, and
  multi-modal data streams on structural and human performance through comp
 utationally and experimentally designing multifunctional material-based se
 nsing systems.\n\nThe overarching research goal is to advance cyber-physic
 al systems (CPS) to enable the built environment to intelligently and sust
 ainably interact with humans\, and hence to improve human safety and quali
 ty of life. This presentation will outline how carbon nanotube- and graphe
 ne-based sensing skins are designed and implemented for both infrastructur
 e and human monitoring.\n
