UCD Civil Engineering and Construction

Academic excellence starts with the educators who inspire and prepare the next generation of engineers. We’re proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our faculty this semester:

Aditi Misra – CEDC Early Career Award for Excellence in Research
Kevin Rens – CEDC Outstanding Faculty in Leadership & Service (TT)
Susan Stirrup – CEDC Outstanding Faculty in Leadership & Service (IRC)

We also extend special recognition to Aditi Misra, who was selected as one of five inaugural Tullis Faculty Fellows. This honor recognizes faculty who demonstrate excellence in teaching and research, meaningful service, and a trajectory toward national leadership.

Through her work in econometric modeling, machine learning, and mixed-methods research, Dr. Misra is addressing real-world challenges in safety, equity, and accessibility across modern transportation systems.

Congratulations to all—your work continues to make a lasting impact!
