I wonder if each of you could tell us a little bit about the technology that you exhibited at the showcase.
2:24
Yeah, thank you, Dr. Carson.

Some of the work that we do is really trying to understand environmental impacts to critical infrastructure, to housing, civil infrastructure, to shorelines.
2:38
And the work we're envisioning now is how do we better prepare for the future? Doing that using different types of technologies.
2:48
We'll call them physical models, trying to recreate those forces to understand how those forces interact with housing and other structures.
2:58
That allows us to then develop mitigation schemes, ability to build better homes, better protection measures, so that when the next storm comes or the next event comes, we're better prepared for it.

How did each of you get interested in this? You probably didn't go to college thinking that this was going to be your end point.
7:32
No, probably not necessarily.
