We are looking for highly motivated students to use applied remote sensing and big geospatial data analytics techniques to mitigate real-world natural disaster problems, such as earthquakes in central and eastern US, sinkholes in Florida, landslides in Puerto Rico, and coastline erosion along the Gulf of Mexico.
The Geosystems Engineering and Intelligence Laboratory (GEI), led by Dr. Zhan (https://weiwei-zhan.github.io/), focuses on developing systematic and intelligent solutions to enhance natural hazard mitigation and infrastructure resilience. Our research integrates interdisciplinary techniques from geotechnics, geology, geophysics, geodesy, geomechanics, and data science.
Please feel free to express your interest and inquire further information to Dr. Weiwei Zhan (weiwei.zhan@ucf.edu) with an email attaching your resume and using “URA inquiry – Your Name” as the subject.
