The National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program awarded a $260,000 Project Grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSF-BSF: CIF: SMALL: AN INFORMATION THEORY FOR OUT-OF-ORDER DATA: APPLICATIONS IN GENOMICS, MOLECULAR STORAGE, AND BEYOND", runs from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2028. The grant aims to extend information theory techniques to out-of-order data scenarios, such as those encountered in emerging technologies like DNA sequencing and molecular data storage. The research will focus on three main thrusts: 1) Recovering similar sequences (e.g., genes) from unordered DNA sequencing fragments, 2) Developing new computational methods for analyzing genomics data, and 3) Enabling new data storage paradigms. The project leverages RIT's expertise in areas like quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and advanced sensing technologies to address these complex technological challenges.
