OverviewAI-generated summary

Abby Cisko's research focuses on the application of advanced technologies to infrastructure management, particularly in the railroad and aviation sectors. Her work investigates novel tools for automatic interpretation of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) imaging to enhance railroad inspection efficiency and minimize human intervention. Cisko also studies the characterization of degraded ballast strength using GPR and dynamic cone penetration methods. Her research extends to computationally efficient modeling of lightweight expeditionary airfield surfacing systems and the service life of temporary airfield operational surfaces under aircraft trafficking.

Further contributing to infrastructure resilience, Cisko explores the potential for responsible plastic recycling within military railroad infrastructure and pavements. She has also worked on automated measurement of horizontal gauge deviation in railroads using depth sensor cameras and machine learning, as well as the development of continuous monitoring systems for resilient railway infrastructure. Cisko has co-authored publications with collaborators including Jason Stewart, Isaac L. Howard, and Chris Wacinski from Arkansas State University.
