SEAS students and faculty on the GW Transportation Team are developing “Road Vision,” a smartphone application that uses crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence to give commuters real-time information about Washington, DC’s traffic patterns. Their app recently won the public innovation competition GigaBitDCx, and was awarded $25,000 in start-up and research funds to further develop Road Vision. Dr. Anne-Laure Papa leads research to develop therapy to fight blood clots and cancer metastasis
Biomedical engineering professor Dr. Anne-Laure Papa is first author on a study published in Science Translational Medicine that shows a new reversible, drug-free antiplatelet therapy that could reduce the risk of blood clots and potentially prevent cancer metastasis.

SEAS receives $300,000 Clare Boothe Luce Program award
The award will support an undergraduate research program for selected female SEAS students, who will conduct research with faculty mentors and receive professional development opportunities. Studying Asthma
Dr. Zhenyu Li (Biomedical Engineering): Dr. Li and his research group use micro- and nano-technologies to build medical devices that can be used for biological research or for disease diagnosis. He has made significant breakthroughs in designing “lab-on-a-chip” technologies to diagnose other diseases, and his current project builds on some of these previous successes.The Arc of an Idea
Dr. Pedro Silva (Civil & Environmental Engineering): Dr. Pedro Silva has developed a hypothesis about a novel shear wall design that he believes will mitigate damage from earthquakes, thereby decreasing the number of buildings that have to be closed following an earthquake. He will soon begin testing his design in the Science and Engineering Hall’s high bay.Keeping Information Flowing
Dr. Hyeong-Ah Choi (Computer Science): When a catastrophic event occurs, first responders need to have timely and reliable communication with each other and with people affected by the event. Dr. Hyeong-Ah Choi and her research team have been working for two years to develop a more resilient broadband public safety network.Keeping the Lights On
Dr. Payman Dehghanian (Electrical & Computer Engineering): Dr. Dehghanian studies power system resilience in the face of extreme weather conditions or cyberattacks that can compromise national security, helping to improve the planning and operations of power systems to create a more resilient and sustainable electric grid and mitigate the consequences of these events.An Ounce of Prevention
Dr. Joost Santos (Engineering Management & Systems Engineering): Dr. Santos studies disaster risk management, developing hybrid models from the fields of systems engineering and economics to learn how to predict the ripple effects of disasters across interdependent infrastructure and economic systems, studying problems such as production disruptions or allocation of emergency responders after disasters.- 1 of 3
