Howard University
ARLINGTON, VA, United States
Dr. Claudia Marin-Artieda is a professor and Graduate Student Director at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Howard University. She earned her master's and Ph.D. degrees in Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering from the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York. Dr. Marin's research focuses on computational mechanics, the experimental evaluation of large-scale structural and nonstructural components, and structural health monitoring. Her research interests include two themes: developing multi-functional protective systems to enhance the performance of bridges, buildings, and their contents against multi-hazard effects and employing physics-guided AI techniques for an accurate infrastructure health assessment to inform decision-making regarding maintenance, repair, and replacement. Throughout her research career, Dr. Marin has cultivated collaborations and secured support from various entities, including state and federal government agencies, experimental facilities, nonprofits, industry partners, and academic institutions. She has made notable contributions to large-scale experimental testing and field monitoring of constructed structures while mentoring numerous undergraduate researchers and fostering industry cooperation. Dr. Marin's commitment to advancing engineering education and outreach is evident through her role as the founder and advisor of the Engineering Ambassador Program at Howard University. Since 2011, this program has engaged undergraduate engineering students as ambassadors in K-12 outreach activities and stimulated the ambassadors' interest in STEM, soft skills, self-efficacy, and academic achievement. In addition to her academic achievements, Dr. Marin is a registered professional engineer in multiple states, including Virginia, Maryland, New York, Arkansas, and the District of Columbia. Before her tenure at Howard University, she gained valuable experience as a professional structural engineer, accumulating over seven years in the field. Her contributions extend beyond academia, positively impacting research, education, and the advancement of infrastructure solutions.
