On 7 April 2026, the Department of Civil Engineering hosted an engaging Open Forum featuring UK-based software engineer, educator, and entrepreneur, Ergi Mira. Held in the university's Conference Hall, the session provided students and faculty with a compelling look at the intersection of modern computing and physical engineering.
Mr. Mira, who specialises in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and data analytics, brings a wealth of interdisciplinary experience ranging from embedded AI systems to applying technological solutions to agricultural challenges. During the forum, he expanded on the vital role that software and data integration play in contemporary infrastructure projects, demonstrating how digital tools are reshaping traditional physical engineering workflows.
A major point of his presentation was the application of advanced algorithms in the context of earthquakes. Mr. Mira discussed how data analytics and AI can be leveraged to process complex seismic data, offering civil engineers new methodologies for structural analysis, risk assessment, and disaster preparedness.
The Department extends its gratitude to Ergi Mira for sharing his expertise and providing our students with valuable insights into the future of engineering technology.
