MPC Student Takes Second in CSU Graduate Student Showcase

Posted: Jun 29, 2020

Colorado State University Ph.D. student Abdelrahman Abdallah won second place in the Great Minds in Research award for his research topic at the Graduate Student Showcase in November.

Abdallah is earning his Ph.D. in Construction Engineering and Management, a collaborative program between the Colorado State University Departments of Construction Management and Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Abdallah worked with researchers Rebecca Atadero and Mehmet Ozbek on MPC research regarding the inspection of bridges in the United States, as part of his Ph.D. studies. The title of his research is "An Integrated Uncertainty-Based Bridge Inspection Decision Framework." The main goal of Abdallah's research is to provide a framework that will help improve bridge inspection practices.

The Graduate Student Showcase is an annual one-day conference for graduate students to present their research work and progress. This helps graduate students connect with fellow CSU graduate students and faculty, learn about various disciplines, and enhance their communication and presentation skills.
