This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $246,762 to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026. The project aims to develop a deeper understanding of the principles governing how biological organisms build robust and precise traits from variable and unreliable components, and how these insights can be applied to improve the resilience of engineered systems. Key focus areas include studying redundancy, control systems, and repair mechanisms that enable organisms to maintain performance despite component-level errors or damage. The research will synthesize modern advances in control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence with evolutionary biology to provide a broader conceptual foundation for these phenomena. Findings from this work are expected to yield insights into how organisms fail and diseases develop, while also informing the design of more robust engineered systems.
