Campus Alert
Update on Facilities Emergency

Following the electrical incident originating in Building 42, significant progress has been made in assessing the affected facilities. Power is expected to be restored to Buildings 38, 39, 43 and 47 within the next several hours.

Buildings 32 and 42 will remain closed through the end of this week while additional assessments are completed and necessary repairs are implemented.

Academic Operations

  • SEAS will remain on Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) through the end of the week.
  • Classes for all non-SEAS students will resume normal operations.
  • Classes at the Law School, Community College, Congress Heights and the DCA Aviation Hangar will continue as scheduled.

Administrative Operations

  • Administrative and support functions at the Van Ness campus will resume normal business operations.

SEAS Faculty, Staff and Students

SEAS staff should contact their supervisors regarding remote work expectations. SEAS faculty should coordinate with their supervisors regarding ERI and may contact CAL for instructional technology support, including Blackboard, Zoom and Webex, at [email protected].

The safety of our students, faculty, staff, and community remains our highest priority. We will continue to provide updates as additional information becomes available.

For safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For emergencies, call 911.

Center of Excellence for Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Urban Environments

Center of Excellence for Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Urban Environments

Mission

NewsletterThe mission of the Center of Excellence for Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Urban Environments at the University of the District of Columbia is to promote and conduct high-level interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in acoustic and seismic remote sensing of urban environments. The Center will support, facilitate, and advertise the activities related to the fundamental understanding of acoustic and seismic propagation, lower atmospheric and soil dynamics, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) data processing and classification, and sensor networks configuration and communications, comprising of researchers from the UDC School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Through joint research and student mentoring, seminars and workshops, the Center will foster collaborative research within the group, and between the members of the group and researchers at other Universities, and industry partners.

Goals and Objectives

  1. Source detection and localization in urban areas
  2. Develop a better understanding of atmospheric dynamics and ground conditions unique to urban areas
  3. Develop AI software tools for i) learn, adapt, reason, and act using small datasets of noisy, dynamic, deceptive data, ii) learn, adapt, and reason in a dynamic, distributed manner over   highly   heterogeneous   data   with   impaired   C4I, iii)   perform   computations under extreme SWaPT constraints, and iv) process at the point of need.
  4. To educate and mentor the next generation of researchers in the engineering and physical sciences

 

Center’s Military Relevance

The successful outcome of the center’s goals and objectives will provide the Army strategies for

  • Operational planning
  • Wide-area persistent surveillance
  • Perimeter defense
  • Protection of on-the-move soldiers
  • Monitoring of critical infrastructure in hostile urban environments
