Learn About Sustainable Urban Engineering at First-Annual Seed Grant Kickoff Meeting
Sustainable Urban Engineering (SUE) at the University of Cincinnati is a trans-disciplinary education and research center. The center facilitates studies of how urban infrastructure and environmental policies affect the long-term health and wealth of cities. It will allow dissemination of information regarding the scientific metrics, policies and technologies that promote the evolution of economically and environmentally sustainable urban regions.
You are invited to attend our first annual seed grant kickoff meeting:
When: 10 a.m. noon, Friday, July 13, 2007
Where: Engineering Research Center, Room 427
The agenda includes an overview of SUE at UC and presentations of funded activities to be undertaken during the 200708 academic year. The presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer discussion.

From literature to AI: UC grad shares career path to success
April 23, 2024
Before Katie Trauth Taylor worked with international organizations like NASA, Boeing and Hershey, and before receiving accolades for her work in the generative AI space, she was in a much different industry – English and literature. Taylor earned her master's in English and Comparative Literature in UC’s College of Arts and Sciences. She completed her educational journey at Purdue University with a doctorate degree in rhetoric and composition. After working as a graduate assistant at Purdue and UC, she became a research professor at Miami University. It might seem from there that her career was set—perhaps a tenured professorship or a university administrative position. That might have been her path, but Taylor had her eyes set on different goals. So how did Taylor transition from literature and composition to tech entrepreneurship? She enjoys sharing that part of her story.
