$18M in government funding supports new Virtual Prototyping of Ground Systems Center

Automotive autonomy technology is changing economies and global industries — and is also a driving force behind military modernization. Bringing these self-driving vehicles to life on- and off-road requires new concepts and algorithms to be tested expeditiously and cost-effectively — all of which happen through virtual prototyping. Assistant Professor, Dr. Laura Redmond is heading up […]

Professor Melissa Sternhagen, Teacher and Mentor

Professor Melissa Sternhagen has been an essential part of the Glenn Department of Civil Engineering since she arrived in 2008.
