CEE graduate students,

We are pleased to invite you to our Civil Infrastructure Seminar Series, where Dr. Tomoki Shiotani will present his seminar "Resilient Infrastructure: Leveraging Cutting-Edge NDT for Structural Integrity". This presentation is especially relevant for those interested in sustainable infrastructure, structural health monitoring, and resilience engineering.

Date & Time: Tuesday, May 20, 2025 | 12:00 PM
Location: Engineering Building, Room 502-J
Remote Access: Zoom Link

Dr. Shiotani is a Professor at the Innovative Technology on Infrastructure Laboratory (ITIL) and Deputy Leader of the Consortium of Innovative Technology for Infrastructures at Kyoto University in Japan. With over 200 peer-reviewed papers and 60 patents, his research focuses on advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for assessing infrastructure such as road bridges, dams, and tunnels. Dr. Shiotani is particularly well-known for his work in fiber optic sensing, elastic wave approaches, and acoustic emission (AE) technology; he currently serves as President of the International Institute of Innovative Acoustic Emission.

While remote participation is available, we highly encourage in-person attendance to take advantage of the opportunity for direct engagement with Dr. Shiotani.

More information in the attached flier - we hope to see many of you there!

Best,
CEE Department
