Ali Khosravi, assistant professor in civil and environmental engineering, teams up with NCAME to design a robot that can attach to a conduit, run it underground and resurface for another use.

Civil and Environmental Engineering assistant professor researching impact of temperature change on permafrost

Ali Khosravi, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is teaming up with Bart Prorok, a materials engineering professor, Paul Bartley, an assistant professor in horticulture at Auburn University and his twin brother, Mohammad Khosravi, an associate professor at Montana State University. Together, they aim to improve the understanding of how climate change impacts permafrost, enhancing predictions about permafrost thaw and its effects on infrastructure in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.

#GINNing Podcast: Mighty Morphing Power Skins

Ali Khosravi, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is investigating microscopic and macroscopic interactions between "architected" shape-morphing shells and granular media in order to guide the realization of bioinspired probes for underground burrowing. In other words, robot worms. 
Civil Engineering assistant professor takes deep dive into morphing skins

Khosravi, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, has a goal to research flexible burrowing probes for site investigation and underground excavation. These probes are crucial for various development projects, including underground structures, buildings, dams and pavements, as they determine soil characteristics.
