Professor Pingbo Tang is an expert on civil infrastructure operations and human systems engineering for civil infrastructure operational safety. Prof. Tang’s research explores remote sensing, human systems engineering, and information modeling technology in support of the spatiotemporal analyses needed for effective management of production systems, construction sites, constructed facilities, and civil infrastructure systems. His ongoing studies have examined sensing and modeling methods for comprehending the Human-Cyber-Physical-Systems (H-CPS) in accelerated construction and infrastructure operations (e.g., airport operations, nuclear plant outage control). 

He won best paper awards at multiple conferences, the 2013 Recent Alumnus Achievement Award of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2015, and the Daniel W. Halpin Award for Scholarship in Construction from the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2020.
