- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with CFDA number 47.070, explores how information behaves in large-scale data storage systems designed to recover from hardware failures. The $400,000 award to the University of Maryland, College Park will model the storage medium as an assignment of bits to nodes of an infinite two-dimensional grid, where the content of each node is determined by its...
This $358,400 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, is for a collaborative research project titled "An Information Theory for Out-of-Order Data: Applications in Genomics, Molecular Storage, and Beyond." The goal is to extend information theory techniques to develop new computational methods for analyzing unordered data, such as from DNA sequencing, that defy the typical ordered digital data paradigm. The research will focus on three key thrusts with practical applications in areas like immunogenomics and resistomics. The award was made to the University of Illinois, which will leverage its expertise in federal contracting and multidisciplinary research to carry out this work from October 2025 through September 2028.
