Dr. Paula Sturdevant Rees, director of both the UMass Water Resources Research Center and the Diversity Programs in the College of Engineering, will help to lead the planning process for a new UMass Unmanned Aerial System Research and Education Collaborative (UMass UASREC). Rees and her colleagues hope to establish the UASREC: to serve as an incubator to develop new basic and applied research through access to Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology; and to initiate an educational program to train the next generation of UAS research scientists and the civilian workforce in UAS piloting, sensor use, data processing, and analytics.

Boris Lau
Boris Lau of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department was one of 10 campus academics who each received a $1,000 Sustainability Curriculum Fellowship (SCF), a year-long interdisciplinary program sponsored by the Chancellor’s Office and others to develop or augment courses with sustainability-related topics. As Lau explains about how he will use the fellowship, “My overarching goal is to enable students to understand the important roles of nanoscale science and technology in achieving water sustainability.” See News Office article
