The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $310,929 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to develop novel computational tools and knowledge for safe autonomy of complex systems directly from data. The research aims to provide rigorous, data-driven guarantees on safety and performance, with a focus on automating ultrasound procedures to improve access to medical care. Key deliverables include techniques for synthesizing provably invariant constraint-enforcing control systems from observational data, enabling the expansion of nominal model-based designs to broader operating domains. The project will also support diverse STEM workforce development through mentoring and recruiting of underrepresented groups. This grant reflects NSF's mission to advance the frontiers of technology and science to benefit the nation.
