This $286,383 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) to the University of Delaware from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029 supports a comprehensive research and education strategy to create a trustworthy optimization toolbox for geo-distributed scientific data analytics. The project focuses on innovating optimization methods to improve the robustness, reliability, and scalability of AI/ML systems for rare or previously unseen scenarios in applications like flood mapping, seafloor characterization, and urbanization forecasting. The research aims to bridge the gap between data topology and robust optimization, revolutionize explainable ML, and enable trustworthy collaborative learning. To maximize societal impact, the project integrates research findings across educational levels through interdisciplinary collaborations, promotes undergraduate AI research, and supports STEM workforce diversity. No sub-awards are planned for this award.
