Introduction:
Join Daisy Kiptoo, graduate researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering, as she introduces StructuralGT, a graph theory-based framework for analyzing structural systems. In this presentation, Daisy will walk through key graph theory concepts—such as degree centrality, closeness, and density—and demonstrate how they can be applied to evaluate connectivity, efficiency, and resilience in complex structures. Attendees will gain insight into how mathematical networks can be used to model, analyze, and better understand material systems and their behaviors.
