What began as a design competition for graduate and senior architecture students in the Hartford Architecture Student Association (HASA) could evolve into a sustainable and inclusive neighborhood in Connecticut's capital city.

HASA, a student-run graduate organization, supports Hartford-area non-profit organizations by assisting with early-stage design and feasibility studies for meaningful projects. Now, in partnership with Trinity Health and AARP, HASA has been awarded a $5,000 grant for the Hartford Healthy Living 2026 Design Competition.

The grant money will be awarded to students who submit the best entries, as selected by a committee of judges including UHart architecture faculty members Michael Crosbie and Jill Bambury. The prize money will contribute to student tuition and school supplies.

CETA students Javier Serrano and Kyle Burke, along with Professor Mahanta, recently participated in and pitched BeaHive at Hack for Humanity Hartford - organized by The AI Collective, sponsored by Major League Hacking and Google.

Addressing Challenge 2: The Last Mile of Food Access, the team tackled the transit barriers faced by Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) households in urban food deserts with their mission: "Fresh Food for Everyone, Anywhere." They engineered an end-to-end, web app prototype combining decentralized hydroponic growing systems, a resource finder, and a customized AI chatbot for context-aware routing to connect the community directly with local produce, helping them learn, replicate, and grow together.

Beyond the build, the hackathon provided an incredible opportunity to network with professionals and connect directly with multidisciplinary peers, experienced mentors, and AI practitioners. Collaborating with the organizers from The AI Collective and engaging with other competitive teams made the experience even more rewarding.

A special thanks to Dr. Ying Yu for her active presence, guidance, and support.

We're excited to welcome a familiar face to some, Jeremy Adam Hill, as an official Assistant Professor of Architecture here at CETA. Hill is an architect, educator, and founder of Happy Haus Design, and brings more than 25 years of experience in architectural practice, design, development, digital fabrication, and construction. His Stamford-based practice focuses on contemporary residential architecture and high-performance building, incorporating Passive House principles and building science into the design process.

A registered architect and Certified Passive House Consultant, Hill has taught in UHart’s Department of Architecture since 2023 and brings his professional experience in design, materials, construction, and sustainability into the classroom.

Students in ME265 (Fundamentals of Architectural and Musical Acoustics) continued their exploration of the inverse square law by taking measurements outside, in real-life scenarios! Students took measurements with the Brüel & Kjær 2250 Sound Level Meter outdoors far away enough from buildings and barriers at distances of 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft. The measurements were taken sufficiently away from potential reflective surfaces and on top of the grass field to help more closely match a far-field condition in the free-field.

Students found that the "6dB drop per doubling distance" also held true generally for the outdoor measurements, even though there were some transient noise sources around. Students, using measurement level equipment, were able to connect equations and theory learned in the classroom to real-life measurements and analysis of real-world phenomena!

We're excited to welcome Dr. Ashish Mahanta as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He recently earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Southern Illinois University (SIU), Carbondale, IL, where he received the competitive Dissertation Research Assistantship (DRA) award for his impactful research work. His research pioneered new paradigms in hardware security and low-overhead power signature generation for resource-constrained IoT devices. He received his B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Bangladesh, in 2017.

Dr. Mahanta’s scholarly work has been published in leading academic journals, including the IEEE Internet of Things Journal and the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems. Alongside his academic contributions, he brings valuable industry experience from TDK InvenSense Inc. in San Jose, CA, where he focused on mixed-signal behavioral modeling and verification for advanced sensor System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures.

At the University of Hartford, Dr. Mahanta is developing the Secure and Intelligent IoT & Embedded Systems Lab to advance autonomous, multi-modal hardware security frameworks for abnormality detection & operational integrity verification, edge AI/ML hardware acceleration, and ultra-low-power sensing architectures. A dedicated educator and mentor, he has an extensive track record of guiding student researchers through NSF-funded STEM initiatives and case-managing neurodiverse learners in higher education.

Students in ME265 (Fundamentals of Architectural and Musical Acoustics), a required course for sophomore acoustical engineering and music students & mechancial engineering students with acoustics concentration, tested how inverse square law, a theory taught in several classes like physics, math, and acoustics, works in real life! Students learn that due to inverse square law, there is a 6 dB drop in sound pressure level per doubling of distance. However, they also learn that this only holds for far-field conditions in the free-field. Students put the theory to test by using the Brüel & Kjær 2250 Sound Level Meter in three different indoor environments - the anechoic chamber (free-field), reverberation chamber (diffuse-field) and a classroom at distances of 1m, 2m, and 4m. Students also got to measure sound levels outdoors, a "real-life" condition, at distances of 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft.The "6dB drop per doubling distance" held true for the anechoic chamber and generally for the outdoor measurements, as they are far-field conditions in the free-field, but did not for the reverberation chamber nor the classroom. This was their first time using the sound level meter (SLM) and also taking acoustic measurements, to match real life phenomena with theoretical equations and calculations!

For Temi Sosanya '28, a junior studying robotics engineering at the University of Hartford, the future of transportation became a hands-on learning experience this summer.

Temi was one of just 11 students selected for the University of Nevada Las Vegas' (UNLV) National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) Smart Cities Program. As a research intern, Temi spent the summer contributing to research focused on how advanced technologies can be integrated into traditional city infrastructure.
