Human-AI Co-Adaptation for Safe and Efficient Operations of Production and Civil Infrastructure Systems

Dr. Pingbo Tang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research specializes in integrating human intelligence and artificial intelligence (AI) for advancing sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems, particularly in manufacturing systems and airport operations. Prof. Tang leverages remote sensing, information modeling, and human systems engineering to enhance resource efficiency, reduce material waste, and improve operational resilience. His current work addresses significant sustainability and operational challenges, including production disruptions in modular manufacturing facilities and safety risks in air traffic control systems. Dr. Tang has received several prestigious awards, including the NSF CAREER Award (2015), the ASCE Daniel W. Halpin Award for Scholarship in Construction (2020), the Steven J. Fenves Award for Systems Research, and multiple best paper recognitions at international conferences.
