About

Devin Harris leads the Infrastructure Simulation, Sensing and Evaluation Lab (I-S²EE Lab) at the University of Virginia. The lab focuses on developing advanced techniques to characterize and better evaluate the condition of the built environment. Their research is interdisciplinary in nature, maintaining a core emphasis on assessing the performance and condition state of infrastructure using a variety of methods. While much of the research concentrates on transportation infrastructure, the lab also explores related domains such as smart and connected communities, cyber-physical systems, crowd-sourcing, and smart/high-performance materials. The physical laboratory is housed within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and is equipped with testing equipment for rapid load testing, monitoring, and non-destructive evaluation of civil infrastructure, supporting both laboratory and field evaluations.
