This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $1,000,000 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) supports the development of an advanced anomaly detection and diagnostics system for electrical devices and networks. The project aims to enhance the reliability and security of electrical infrastructure such as buildings, manufacturing systems, and hospitals through the deployment of smart sensors capable of detecting anomalies, pinpointing their locations, and diagnosing issues. The award will fund research, algorithm development, and prototyping of this technology, with the goal of commercializing the solution for scalable deployment. The project involves collaboration between UGA and industry partners including General Electric, Siemens, and NEC Laboratories to facilitate technology transfer and provide real-world insights. The award also includes plans for training undergraduate and graduate students, as well as middle school teachers, to support workforce development in this domain.
