- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program. The grant will support a collaborative research project to develop rapid computational modeling and prediction capabilities for wildfire spread, with a focus on incorporating the impacts of human activity during and after wildfires. The research aims to improve the accuracy of short-term wildfire...
This $399,933 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will support the development of new artificial intelligence-based infrastructure damage prediction models for enhanced resilience and emergency response planning. The 3-year project aims to advance the state-of-the-art in multimodal data integration and analytics to enable near real-time assessments of physical damage to infrastructure (e.g., buildings, transportation networks, utilities) following major disaster events like wildfires, earthquakes, and floods. This research will establish new knowledge and methodologies around fusing diverse data sources, including images, text, and engineering/tabular data, to provide more comprehensive situational awareness for emergency response and recovery planning. Subawards are planned under this grant, which will likely involve supporting roles for graduate and undergraduate student researchers as well as potential collaborative work with other academic institutions. The project's principal investigator and team are based at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California.
