- The National Science Foundation awarded a $809,155 project grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop a game-based learning environment and conduct research and evaluation from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The project aims to improve probability education for high school students by designing artificial intelligence problem-solving activities within a game. Students will learn probability concepts while exploring AI algorithms...
- This CAREER grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison supports a research project that aims to develop a game theory framework for decentralized decision-making in large-scale discrete optimization problems. The $558,786 project, running from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2030, will explore computational approaches that exploit the discrete nature of individual optimization problems in decentralized systems, such as...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $300,000 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate how new technologies for water resource extraction, such as membrane-based filtration and retrofittable fermenters, can address anticipated challenges of water scarcity and resource insecurity. The project aims to develop conceptual tools for understanding resource extraction in a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to enhance undergraduate education on stakeholder competition and cooperation in water systems using game theory. The $403,471 project, awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington, will design and implement game theory-based learning resources to help undergraduate students understand strategic interactions between stakeholders and improve their multi-criteria decision-making skills in water resources management. The project will also conduct discipline-based education research to evaluate how the game theory-based learning experiences impact students' understanding of stakeholder dynamics and decision-making related to water resources. The project is expected to run from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2028, and will be embedded in a general education natural resources course.
