This $150,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Illinois, a U.S. state government organization and land-grant research university. The award supports a collaborative, interdisciplinary research project focused on developing innovative solutions for early detection and effective communication of airborne pathogens in communities. Key efforts include:
-
Designing an intelligent, automated system for real-time, multiplex monitoring of critical airborne pathogens to enable proactive public health protection.
-
Creating a novel, data-driven deep learning approach to provide accurate pathogen detection, inference, and measurement of infectious aerosols.
-
Developing an ethical framework for collaborative risk communication and community engagement around airborne disease mitigation strategies.
This project aims to significantly advance scientific understanding and technological capabilities related to rapid, scalable pathogen sensing and effective public health preparedness. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
