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 <https://pdx.zoom.us/j/7724777157> 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!
