Pingbo Tang, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, will deliver the Durham School Distinguished Lecture: “Human-Cyber-Physical Security for Resilient Civil Infrastructure Operations in a Changing World,” at noon, Friday, May 6.
The lecture will take place at the Willa Cather Dining Complex Pioneers Room from noon-1 p.m. and can also be viewed via Zoom. Lunch will be served in the Pioneers Room from 11:30 a.m.-noon. Register for the lunch or Zoom link by April 29 by clicking the link below.
Tang is an expert on civil infrastructure operations and human systems engineering for civil infrastructure operational safety. His research explores remote sensing, human systems engineering, and information modeling technology in support of the spatiotemporal analyses needed for effective management of construction sites, constructed facilities, and civil infrastructure systems. His ongoing studies have examined sensing and modeling methods for comprehending the Human-Cyber-Physical-Systems (H-CPS) in accelerated construction and infrastructure operations (e.g., airport operations, nuclear plant outage control).
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Civil infrastructure systems (CIS) – e.g., transportation infrastructure, water utilities, nuclear power plants, airports – require effective systems-level operation and maintenance (O&M) processes to ensure operational safety and efficiency. Such O&M processes demand significant human efforts that include human/team cognition, decision-making, and activities, thus forming Human-Cyber-Physical Systems (H-CPS). Lack of proper comprehension and coordination of human behaviors within H-CPS could affect the cybersecurity and physical safety, and efficiency of CIS O&M in a changing world.
This presentation aims at synthesizing H-CPS research studies that capture, diagnose, and predict the impacts of human cognitive and task execution behaviors on CIS O&M safety and efficiency.
