About the Lab
The Building Resilient Infrastructure and Adaptive Network Systems (BRIANS) Lab develops data-driven, simulation-based, and governance-aware tools to understand how transportation and infrastructure systems perform under climate extremes, natural hazards, and operational disruptions.
Research Thrusts
Climate and Natural Hazard Risk
We study how extreme heat, flooding, wildfire, and other hazards affect transportation and infrastructure systems.
AI-Enabled Infrastructure Decision Support
We develop AI, simulation, and optimization tools to support planning, operations, maintenance, and resilience decisions.
Human-Centered Resilience and Governance
We examine how institutions, households, agencies, and communities make decisions before, during, and after hazard events.
