The grant will support research to create high-fidelity 3D digital representations of buildings augmented with real-time sensor data, enabling the analysis of...
- This $192,970 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The objective of this 2-year project, titled "Texas Weather: Whole-Community Efforts to Adapt, Thrive, and Enhance Resilience," is to develop a community of practice through outreach and engagement to improve Texas communities' resilience to extreme weather events. The project will foster collaboration between...
- This Project Grant award of $528,090 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research on housing infrastructure adaptation in coastal communities exposed to natural hazards in a changing climate. The project, titled "CLIMA/COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RIDERS ON THE STORM: CLIMATE ADAPTATION OF HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES IN COASTAL CITIES," aims to develop a mathematical framework to analyze the interactions between...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant award of $1,000,000 is funding a collaborative effort between Prairie View A&M University, University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas A&M University to advance research and education in implementing urban digital twins (UDTs) through developing responsible foundation AI techniques to bolster community resilience. The project unfolds through three research thrusts: 1) responsible AutoML-GPT...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $224,995.00 to Texas A&M University to examine the impact of extreme weather conditions on the durability, aging, and deterioration of building materials and building envelopes. The research will utilize a combination of experiments and modeling to investigate how degraded building envelope performance affects factors such as maintenance, repair needs, and heating/cooling demands...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) provides $350,000.00 to support research at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) on developing and piloting 3D digital models of homes for simulating how extreme heat behaves indoors and outdoors. The objective is to create a shared platform for residents and city partners to explore retrofit options, assess energy use, and make informed decisions about home improvements to increase heat resilience. The project implements and evaluates the co-creation of digital twins for enrolled homes in San Antonio's Westside neighborhood, integrating real-time temperature sensor data to drive high-resolution thermal simulations. This pilot project aims to demonstrate how translational research can reduce disaster risks and support long-term planning in housing and infrastructure, serving as a model that other neighborhoods can adapt to similar challenges.
