Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction

Transforming infrastructure through smarter information
 

Dr Jennifer Schooling, Director of CSIC, is among the prestigious line-up of speakers featuring in the online 2022 Smart Infrastructure Seminar Series at University of California, Berkeley.

The Smart Infrastructure Seminar Series explores ideas around the topic of engineering resilient, sustainable and equitable infrastructure. The Series is co-sponsored by the Center for Smart Infrastructure, a new initiative launched by the co-founder of CSIC, Professor Kenichi Soga, Donald H. McLaughlin Professor and a Chancellor's Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Soga sets out the background and ambitions of the new Center for Smart Infrastructure in the latest CSIC Smart Infrastructure Blog which can be read here.

Titled ‘Developments in Smart Infrastructure and Construction in the UK’, Dr Schooling’s talk will consider how the increasing availability of data brings opportunity to monitor and understand our infrastructure and cities as never before. Dr Schooling will explore challenges, including which data should be collected, how data should be managed and analysed, and how to decide where to invest limited resources into sensing systems, novel technologies and data analytics. A number of CSIC projects with industry partners will be presented which demonstrate the potential that data has to transform the way we plan, design, deliver, manage and operate our infrastructure systems.

Dr Schooling’s online Smart Infrastructure Seminar, hosted by the Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies, is on 18 March at 8pm (GMT).
