Emergency Alert
UDC Operating Remotely on Friday, Jan. 30

The University of the District of Columbia’s academic and administrative offices will conduct business remotely on Friday, Jan. 30. All on-campus activities, including athletic-related activities, are cancelled.

Campuses will reopen on Monday, Feb. 2.

Staff: Contact your immediate supervisor with questions or for further instruction regarding remote work expectations. 

Faculty: Reach out to your immediate supervisor and/or the dean for questions and further instruction regarding the transition to emergency remote instruction (ERI).  The Center for the Advancement of Learning (CAL) is available to support faculty with instructional continuity, including support for Blackboard, Zoom, Webex and other teaching and learning technologies.

Consultation Request Form

For learning technology tools and on-demand faculty resources, please visit CAL’s website.

Students: Due to inclement weather, the university will be closed to face-to-face operations. Instruction will be moved to emergency remote, including synchronous and asynchronous methods. Certain laboratory, clinical, and other hands-on classes for which in-person instruction is a requirement may necessitate a make-up lesson, but every effort will be made to pursue virtual learning to the extent possible. Where synchronous virtual instruction is intended, published class meeting times must be observed so that students’ schedules are not disrupted.

The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff, and the broader community remain our top priority. We will continue to provide updates regarding the status of the university’s academic and administrative offices as conditions change.

Please continue to check our website and social media channels for the latest information.

If you have any safety concerns, contact OPSEM at 202-274-5050. For all immediate emergencies, call 911.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our students and to UDC’s mission.

Center of Excellence for Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Urban Environments

Center of Excellence for Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Urban Environments

Mission

NewsletterThe mission of the Center of Excellence for Acoustic and Seismic Sensing of Urban Environments at the University of the District of Columbia is to promote and conduct high-level interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in acoustic and seismic remote sensing of urban environments. The Center will support, facilitate, and advertise the activities related to the fundamental understanding of acoustic and seismic propagation, lower atmospheric and soil dynamics, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) data processing and classification, and sensor networks configuration and communications, comprising of researchers from the UDC School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Through joint research and student mentoring, seminars and workshops, the Center will foster collaborative research within the group, and between the members of the group and researchers at other Universities, and industry partners.

Goals and Objectives

  1. Source detection and localization in urban areas
  2. Develop a better understanding of atmospheric dynamics and ground conditions unique to urban areas
  3. Develop AI software tools for i) learn, adapt, reason, and act using small datasets of noisy, dynamic, deceptive data, ii) learn, adapt, and reason in a dynamic, distributed manner over   highly   heterogeneous   data   with   impaired   C4I, iii)   perform   computations under extreme SWaPT constraints, and iv) process at the point of need.
  4. To educate and mentor the next generation of researchers in the engineering and physical sciences

 

Center’s Military Relevance

The successful outcome of the center’s goals and objectives will provide the Army strategies for

  • Operational planning
  • Wide-area persistent surveillance
  • Perimeter defense
  • Protection of on-the-move soldiers
  • Monitoring of critical infrastructure in hostile urban environments
