Ted Sussmann,
assistant professor in CETA’s Civil, Environmental, and Biomedical
Engineering Department, received a “Best Paper” award at the Railway
Engineering Conference hosted by Mike Forde of the University of
Edinburgh in Scotland in July.
The award for “the best paper demonstrating the use of geophysics and non-destructive testing” was received for Sussmann’s paper, “Use of Seismic Surface Wave Testing to Assess Track Substructure.”
During the conference, Sussmann presented two papers: “Effect of Unsupported Ties at Transition Zones” and “Non-Invasive Monitoring of Track System Gaps.” The papers are the result of a collaboration with the Volpe Center in Cambridge, Mass. Sussmann’s team members include Hugh Thompson of the Federal Railroad Administration, Tim Stark and Steve Wilk of the University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign, Carl Ho of the University of Massachusetts—Amherst, and Soheil Nazarian of the University of Texas—El Paso.
