Sumedh Sharma, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering

Introduction

Sumedh Sharma, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, is passionate about educating the next generation of engineers to create resilient civil structures using innovative design and construction automation.

Research Overview

Professor Sharma’s research focuses on construction 3D printing, structural behavior under extreme loading, and innovative retrofit solutions. He explores the use of ultrahigh performance concrete, nonlinear modeling, and accelerated bridge construction to develop resilient, efficient, and sustainable civil infrastructure.

Fun fact: I'm certified to operate a commercial-scale 3D printer capable of printing entire residential houses!
