ABT'er Shaniel Chotkan wrote a paper on water safety in collaboration with professor Phil J. Vardon and Juan pablo Aguiler-lópez from TU Delft and Raymond van der Meij and Wouter Jan Klerk from Deltares. The paper is about using data-driven modeling to predict drought-induced crack susceptibility. 

While space in cities is becoming a scarce resource, the importance of the quality of the physical urban environment is more and more evident. Vibrant and inclusive districts have been associated with higher quality of living and innovation potential. Districts that promote outdoor activities with good outdoor comfort, air quality and green spaces can boost the health and productivity of the inhabitants.

The safe and unrestricted use of spaces in buildings has suddenly been compromised due to the transmission risks of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. By following guidelines such as avoiding crowded rooms, maintaining a 1.5 m distance, cleaning hands, increasing the amount of ventilation and opening windows, the risk of transmission is minimized. However, in some building areas these guidelines cannot be easily followed, such as in elevator cabins.
