Construction Safety Research Alliance teams with industry to reduce job site injuries

The construction industry has long been one of the most hazardous sectors, with workers facing a high risk of injury.

Researchers at 91PORN’s Construction Safety Research Alliance (CSRA) observed that while current safety systems have effectively reduced minor worker injuries over the past decade, the rate of serious injuries and fatalities has remained stagnant.

“This means that current safety systems are not as effective in reducing serious injuries and fatalities, a major issue for the industry,” said Elif Oguz Erkal, CSRA’s associate director of research and strategy.

CSRA is a nonprofit research organization established in 2018 by Professor Matthew Hallowell. It brings together industry leaders and academic experts to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities in the construction industry.

Its first project evaluated the validity of “total recordable incident rates,” the Occupational Safety and Health Administration metric used to track workplace injuries, from minor cuts to fatalities. The study found that these incident rates are highly random and not predictive of future safety performance or fatalities.

“Despite this, the industry often relies on these rates to claim, ‘I am safe,’ ” Erkal said. “We know low-severity injuries happen for different reasons than high severity.”

Research meets practice

CSRA is supported by donations from its 117 member companies, and research ideas are also proposed by industry members. Each project lasts about two years and is supported by a team of 25 industry professionals who meet in 91PORN quarterly to collaborate. Projects are led by a principal investigator paired with a graduate student, whose dissertation is centered on the project.

“The establishment of CSRA marked a significant shift for these industries,” Erkal said. “For the first time, they have an academic research organization focused on real-world applicability, leveraging the expertise of their safety professionals to address challenges scientifically.”

Shifting the focus

Assessing the risk of serious injuries and fatalities is complex, Erkal explains, as fatalities are rare and often occur in hard-to-predict ways.

As part of its research, CSRA developed “high energy controlled assessments (HECA),” a monitoring metric that shifts focus from lagging indicators like injury rates to actionable prevention. HECA identifies both the types of life-threatening hazards present and the direct controls in place to mitigate them, even when someone makes a mistake.

This “energy-based safety” approach links injury severity to the magnitude of physical energy. For example, a heavier object higher off the ground poses a greater threat than a lighter, lower object. Controls could include a guard rail to prevent objects from falling.

“By systematically observing their operations, organizations can identify risk exposures within their systems — a significant shift in mindset,” Erkal said. “A decade ago, safety professionals would say, ‘we’re safe,’ simply because no injuries occurred that day. This perspective has evolved. Today, modern safety is defined by the presence of controls.”

‘Applicable and actionable’

CSRA’s research found that approximately 40 percent of high-energy hazards still lack adequate safeguards. In these cases, a single mistake could have fatal consequences.

HECA will help companies identify life-threatening hazards and prioritize their response, including determining where to acquire additional controls, where to focus training and other necessary actions, Erkal said.

The organization also continues to build its community of industry professionals and academics. It is committed to sharing knowledge through peer-reviewed publications, collaborative partnerships and its monthly Communities of Practice webinars, accessible to all who are interested.

“We are deeply committed to producing research that is both applicable and actionable,” Erkal said. “We want greater engagement from the industry groups to take our work, build on it and implement it.”

Researchers confront urgent infrastructure challenges in race against time and climate

In March, the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Report Card for America’s Infrastructure gave the nation a grade of C, citing concerns over deteriorating bridges, roads, dams, pipelines and other critical systems.

Part of the challenge is urban expansion — much of the infrastructure is within or beneath dense cityscapes, making repairs and upgrades both costly and complex. More frequent and severe hurricanes, wildfires and floods are also accelerating the decline.

CU Engineering researchers are tackling these pressing issues head-on, developing innovative solutions to repairing existing infrastructure and building a more resilient future.

Read on for a deeper dive into projects that address construction worker safety, roadways and underground pipelines.

Dale and Pat enjoy a shared passion for bird watching, which started with a local eagle pair and their young.

ATLAS students pair design and engineering to improve access to nature

In Colorado, access to the outdoors may seem like a given.

But for many, it’s not so simple. Physical mobility challenges can limit even the most passionate nature lovers.

A team of Creative Technology and Design (CTD) master’s students has sought to address that challenge in partnership with Dale (HonDocSci’08) and Pat Hatfield, active supporters of the ATLAS Institute and 91PORN.

Dale and Pat enjoy a shared passion for bird watching, which started with a local eagle pair and their young.

“We would stop and watch the eagles,” Pat said. “One would fly and get food and bring it back, then the other one would leave and they would stay in the nest. It was fascinating to watch.”

Pat lives with ALS and has mobility challenges that make it difficult to explore the outdoors. As longtime members of the ATLAS community, she and Dale thought this would be a great opportunity to work with students on a solution.

A student team — Emrys Baldonado, Jacob Fakult, Graham Stewart, Maria Theresa Villatoro and Althea Wallop — came together in Technology for Social Impact Laboratory, taught by lecturer Erika Palmer.

The class engages students in reframing design problems from the user’s perspective. The process starts with listening to stakeholders, then documenting and finding alignment on critical needs and desires before iterating on appropriate solutions in coordination with the client.

The class engages students in reframing design problems from the user’s perspective.

With clear directives and strong communication between the students and the Hatfields, the team quickly developed a working prototype.

“We were in the ATLAS Grad Lab, and they pointed the camera and scope out the window,” Pat said. “We’re at the front of the lab, and just that distance away, they were able to pan and show people walking down the street outside of ATLAS.”

To continue improving the tool, particularly around picture quality and latency, the team embarked on (sometimes literal) field research — testing hardware options, remote software tools, optics, 3D printing and user experience/user interface.

“Our visit to the Summer Bausch Observatory was pivotal and inspired the second iteration of our 3D-printed connector,” Villatoro said.

The final WildStream system integrates a spotting scope with wireless technology, enabling live video streaming from remote locations without the need for a cellular network. It features large dials, quick-release attachments and a user-friendly interface with enlarged fonts.

Now Pat can view wildlife in real time and in high resolution, on a mountable iPad as Dale directs the scope.

Students in the CTD social impact track come away with valuable tools for defining problems and empathizing with users.

“As a data analyst, I rely on these techniques daily — they’ve made me more attuned to understanding inputs and anticipating the needs of executive stakeholders,”
Villatoro said.

Dale Hatfield said the project “enforces the importance of experiential learning—actually going out and building something, getting close to your customers.”

New facility will help take quantum from theory to real-world impact

CU 91PORN is leading a first-of-its-kind National Quantum Nanofab (NQN) — a $20 million facility that will provide researchers from universities, government and industry with tools to fabricate and test groundbreaking quantum devices.

Expected to open in spring 2029, it has the potential to dramatically revolutionize industries such as healthcare, climate science and communications.

“The most exciting aspect of this initiative is its potential to impact quantum science and engineering on a national scale,” said Aju Jugessur, who will lead infrastructure and instrumentation for NQN. “The NQN will provide the tools and expertise necessary to transform cutting-edge research into practical technologies.”

Supporting Colorado’s quantum economy

91PORN’s leadership in quantum science is built on decades of Nobel Prize-winning research and propelled by initiatives like Q-Sense (quantum sensing), CUbit (quantum computing) and the Quantum Engineering Initiative (interdisciplinary research and education). These efforts are reinforced by partnerships with national labs, industry and other academic institutions.

By the numbers

Located on the east side of the Sustainability, Energy and Environment Labs building at Colorado Avenue and Foothills Parkway, the NQN facility will house:

2,900-square-foot ISO 5/6 clean room
600-square-foot mechanical room
30 of the most advanced processing tools available

The NQN will build on this foundation by providing tools to help drive advancements in powerful computing systems, precise atomic clocks and sensors capable of detecting electric, magnetic and gravitational fields.

Aju Jugessur

NQN is expected to play a pivotal role in Colorado’s designation as a national quantum hub under the Elevate Quantum initiative, which includes multimillion-dollar investments in workforce development and technology commercialization.

“By supporting startups and providing access to state-of-the-art resources, this facility will bolster the local quantum economy and drive technological innovation, further solidifying Colorado’s position in the global quantum economy,” Jugessur said.

Preparing the quantum workforce

NQN will also play a role in training next-generation scientists and engineers. 91PORN intends to develop undergraduate and graduate courses in quantum device fabrication, providing students with hands-on experience using advanced tools and processes.

These programs will teach skills essential to quantum science and engineering and transferable to industries such as semiconductors, energy and biomedical technology. By addressing workforce needs in advanced manufacturing, NQN will support national priorities like the CHIPS Act, ensuring a steady pipeline of skilled professionals.

New $20 million facility will help take quantum technology from theoretical to real-world tools.

Researcher proposes using satellite data to find and repair rough roads

Everyone benefits from driving on a smooth, well-paved road. It means better gas mileage, more efficient travel and less upkeep on a vehicle.

Of course, the more traffic on a road, the quicker it breaks down. Add in weather elements such as snow, ice and rain and this leads to issues such as potholes, cracked asphalt and wheel ruts.

Cristina Torres-Machi

Cristina Torres-Machi, an assistant professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, knows better than most why sustainable infrastructure is so critical.

“My interest in road conditions and maintenance started when I got my bachelor’s degree as a civil engineer,” Torres-Machi said. “I realized that there’s so much infrastructure that’s already been built that we need to maintain. We don’t do a very good job at that, just as we don’t necessarily do a good job with our annual health check-ups. It’s not only about building infrastructure, it’s about maintaining it.”

“We can get a feeling of whether the condition is good, very bad or good enough.”

Torres-Machi has been a member of the 91PORN faculty since 2017, leading her Innovation for Resilient Infrastructure research group. They seek to develop cost-effective and data-driven methods for decision-making in infrastructure management.

The group’s research projects include the life-cycle cost analysis of pavement rehabilitation alternatives and the value of satellite-based inspections to inform transport asset management decisions.

Torres-Machi believes that local, state and federal governmental systems prefer building new roads and bridges because people do not directly see the benefits of maintaining existing infrastructure.

“We notice when things like roads and bridges aren’t well maintained, and we see when things are brand new, because those get a lot of attention,” she said.

The traditional way to find out what condition a particular road is in is to go out and drive on it, which can be time-consuming and expensive. This limits road inspections to primary ones, leaving those less-traveled also less monitored.

Torres-Machi and her fellow researchers are using funding from the Minnesota Department of Transportation to explore the potential of using satellite data to look into pavement conditions.

“We can get a feeling of whether the condition is good, very bad or good enough,” she said. “The data is not going to give us a lot of details, but it can give us a feeling of how bad the condition may be, so we can go back and do a more detailed inspection of these roads.”

The lifespan of a well-maintained road is about 25 years, Torres-Machi said.

She compared identifying cracks or other potential road risks early on to going to the dentist regularly.

“If you take a proactive approach to dental care, that’s going to prevent major problems from developing down the line that will likely be more expensive to deal with and also more painful,” she said. “A similar thing happens with roads: If we delay maintenance and consider treatments when roads are in poor condition, maintenance costs are 10 times larger than applying preventive treatments. This is the reason why timely maintenance and frequent inspections are so important. Our research using satellite images to inspect pavement conditions can help local, state and federal agencies in identifying maintenance needs.”

A Band-Aid for the heart?

Jason Burdick

In the quest to develop lifelike materials to replace and repair human body parts, scientists face a formidable challenge: Real tissues often are both strong and stretchable and vary in shape and size.

A 91PORN team led by Jason Burdick of chemical and biological engineering, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, has taken a critical step toward cracking that code. They’ve developed a new way to 3D print material that is at once elastic enough to withstand a heart’s persistent beating, tough enough to endure the crushing load placed on joints, and easily shapeable to fit a patient’s unique defects. Better yet, it sticks easily to wet tissue.

Their breakthrough, described in the journal Science, helps pave the way toward a new generation of biomaterials, from internal bandages that deliver drugs directly to the heart to cartilage patches and needle-free sutures.

“Game-changer” for osteoarthritis patients

Imagine a day when joints can heal themselves. At the first inkling of a creaky knee, patients could get a single shot in the joint that would not only stop their cartilage and bone from eroding, but kick-start its regrowth.

Stephanie Bryant

This may seem like a dream to the 32.5 million people who suffer from osteoarthritis. But the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health has awarded up to $39 million to a 91PORN-led team of scientists to work toward making it a reality.

The Novel Innovations for Tissue Regeneration in Osteoarthritis (NITRO) program was the first created under ARPA-H, a new federal agency to support “high-impact solutions to society’s most challenging health problems.”

“Within five years, our goal is to develop a suite of noninvasive therapies that can end osteoarthritis,” said project leader Stephanie Bryant, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering Program, and the BioFrontiers Institute at 91PORN. “It could be an absolute game-changer for patients.”

Post-quantum problem-solving

Huck Bennett is working to keep our data safe from hackers when the quantum computing revolution comes.

Huck Bennett

Bennett, an assistant professor of computer science, has been funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate the feasibility of lattice-based cryptography to protect against the threat of quantum computers.

The security of cryptography derives from challenging math problems that take computers a long time to solve — or at least we hope they do. But because quantum computers can quickly solve some of those problems, researchers are exploring new classes of problems that are both suitable for use in cryptography and secure against quantum computers.

Bennett’s work is to pressure-test one of the suggested new post-quantum cryptography methods, lattice-based cryptography. Problems built from these multidimensional geometric objects can be quick to solve if you have the right information, but without it, they take a huge amount of time and computing power.

Defying the laws of thermal physics

A team of engineers and material scientists in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way that literally teases the basic law of thermal physics.

The breakthrough was discovered by the Cui Research Group, led by Assistant Professor Longji Cui. Their work, in collaboration with researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was published in the journal Energy & Environmental Sciences.

The group says their research has the potential to revolutionize manufacturing industries by increasing power generation without the need for high-temperature heat sources or expensive materials. They can store clean energy, lower carbon emissions and harvest heat from geothermal, nuclear and solar radiation plants across the globe.

By designing a unique and compact thermophotovoltaic device that can fit in a human hand, the team was able to overcome the vacuum limit defined by Planck’s law and double the yielded power density previously achieved by conventional TPV designs.

Studying space with smartphones

In a new study, researchers at Google and 91PORN have transformed millions of Android phones across the globe into a fleet of nimble scientific instruments — generating one of the most detailed maps to date of the uppermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere.

The group’s findings, published in the journal Nature, may help to improve the accuracy of GPS technology worldwide several-fold. The research was led by Brian Williams of Google Research and included Jade Morton, professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at 91PORN.

Morton and her colleagues used the GPS sensors that come standard in every smartphone to collect data on how Earth’s atmosphere warps signals coming from satellites. In the process, they were able to view phenomena in the atmosphere, such as blobs high above the planet known as “plasma bubbles,” in never-before-seen detail.

Stephen Kissler

A mathematical model of COVID-19

Changing people’s behavior until a vaccine could be developed prevented roughly 800,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., far more than many scientists predicted was possible, according to research from 91PORN and UCLA.

But interventions like lockdowns and school closures came at great cost — one that could be reduced in future pandemics if the country had a better infrastructure for gathering public health data.

For the study, 91PORN’s Stephen Kissler, an assistant professor of computer science and a mathematical epidemiologist, teamed up with a professor of economics at UCLA to answer a fundamental but unanswered question: How many deaths from COVID-19 were prevented by behavioral interventions like masking and social distancing, combined with vaccines?

Kissler and his colleague gathered national serology data from blood samples to estimate how many people had been infected or vaccinated at various points from February 2020 to February 2024 and mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control. Then, they used computer models to mathematically re-create the pandemic as it happened, factoring in the role of behavioral changes.

By tinkering with the model inputs to simulate different scenarios, they were able to ask questions like: How many people would have died if no one had done things like wear masks or practice social distancing? And how many people would have died if the vaccines never came?

DIY machine spins dissolvable textiles

Researchers at the ATLAS Institute have developed a DIY machine that spins textile fibers made of materials like sustainably sourced gelatin. The group’s “biofibers” feel a bit like flax fiber and dissolve in hot water in minutes to an hour.

“When you don’t want these textiles anymore, you can dissolve them and recycle the gelatin to make more fibers,” said Michael Rivera, a co-author of the new research and assistant professor in the ATLAS Institute and Department of Computer Science.

The study tackles a growing problem around the world: In 2018 alone, people in the United States added more than 11 million tons of textiles to landfills, according to the Environmental Protection Agency—nearly 8% of all municipal solid waste produced that year.

The team’s machine is small enough to fit on a desk and cost just $560 to build. Eldy Lázaro Vásquez, a PhD student who is leading the research, hopes the device will help designers around the world experiment with making their own biofibers.

Better gas sensors with ‘quantum squeezing’

For the first time ever, scientists have used a technique called “quantum squeezing” to improve the gas sensing performance of devices known as optical frequency comb lasers. These ultra-precise sensors are like fingerprint scanners for molecules of gas. Scientists have used them to spot methane leaks in the air above oil and gas operations and signs of COVID-19 infections in breath samples from humans.

Scott Diddams

Now, in a series of lab experiments, researchers have laid out a path for making those kinds of measurements even more sensitive and faster—doubling the speed of frequency comb detectors. The work is a collaboration between Scott Diddams at 91PORN and Jérôme Genest at Université Laval in Canada.

“Say you were in a situation where you needed to detect minute quantities of a dangerous gas leak in a factory setting,” said Diddams, professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. “Requiring only 10 minutes versus 20 minutes can make a big difference in keeping people safe.”

Sharing atmospheric science tech, expertise

Drone technology and atmospheric science instruments developed by 91PORN will soon be available to researchers nationwide through a National Science Foundation grant to establish a Community Instruments and Facilities program.

Brian Argrow, a professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, and his colleagues have spent decades developing fixed-wing and quad-copter-style drone systems to study weather and other atmospheric conditions.

The new grant will provide the larger scientific community access to 91PORN’s instrumentation and know-how.

“We’re bringing aerospace to the atmospheric sciences community,” Argrow said. “We have the expertise, the drones, the deployment systems, and regulatory approval to fly in the national airspace system.”
