This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $299,862 to the University of Nevada, Reno will support research to develop a new framework for integrating machine learning and physics-based computational models to create "digital twins" of dynamic systems. The research aims to address limitations in current hybrid data-driven modeling approaches by embedding neural networks within physics-based models to better account for modeling errors and uncertainties.

The project will apply this new Bayesian machine-infused physics-based data assimilation framework to three use cases: post-earthquake damage assessment of critical civil structures, predictive maintenance of offshore wind turbine infrastructure, and emergency response to wildland fires. In addition to advancing computational modeling capabilities, the project will also seek to improve STEM education and broaden participation through outreach efforts targeting K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students, with a focus on underrepresented demographics. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029.
