Ergun, along with Julie Swann, ISyE associate professor and Center co-director; Reginald DesRoches, School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE); and students Jessica Heier Stamm (ISyE), Kael Stilp (ISyE) and Josh Gresha (CEE), traveled to Haiti in May to look at debris collection and removal issues there.
