- This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research on "Endogenous Information Design" conducted by the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). The project aims to develop new theoretical models and mathematical tools for analyzing situations where human behavior affects the state of the world, which in turn changes the information that can be shared. This is relevant to various "smart...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $360,000 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) to support fundamental research and development on incentive design mechanisms. The 3-year project, commencing on September 1, 2024, aims to advance the theory of incentive design by removing stringent assumptions that limit its practical application. The research will explore how agents can learn each other's preferences, how behavioral traits...
- The University of Illinois was awarded a $528,406 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. The grant funds a research study combining experimental and theoretical approaches to examine human interactions with automated vehicles. As part of its mission to improve engineering research and education, the NSF Engineering program supports innovation through grants like this that investigate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $190,402 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. This collaborative research project develops a novel adaptive data collection framework to enable reliable data collection under severe time and resource constraints for automated post-disaster rapid damage assessment. The system leverages a Bayesian probabilistic modeling approach to dynamically...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $424,459 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin System for the research project "Microcrack Triggering and the Tree Structures Associated with Fracture Coalescence." The project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, seeks to uncover how energy release signals form and evolve into structured networks during material failure. Through controlled laboratory experiments in rock and...
- This $243,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at the University of Illinois to develop new understanding and control strategies for how robots can influence human behavior over long-term interactions. The key goals are to build theory and mathematical models explaining human adaptation to robot behaviors, devise robot control strategies to maintain influence as humans co-adapt, and formalize optimization...
- This Project Grant award of $693,989 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) supports research by the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. The research aims to enable "mutualistic cyber-physical interaction" for self-adaptive monitoring of damage to civil infrastructure. Key components include: 1) deep learning-based damage prognostics to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $249,859 project grant to the University of Illinois for the "HUMAN-COGNIZANT BRIDGE MAINTENANCE DECISION MAKING THROUGH MODELS OF TRUST, ADAPTATION, AND PARTICIPATION" project. The goal of this 3-year project is to develop a novel decision-making framework that integrates predictive bridge deterioration modeling, stakeholder trust, behavioral adaptation, and participatory input to enhance infrastructure resilience and economic opportunity. Key innovations include: 1) incorporating trust as a design element in machine learning models to improve agency adoption, 2) modeling how commuters and businesses adapt to maintenance disruptions, 3) developing formal participatory models to enhance maintenance prioritization, and 4) integrating these insights into an opportunity-sensitive planning framework. This research aims to transform infrastructure decision-making by better accounting for human and institutional dynamics that impact public safety, accessibility, freight mobility, and economic productivity.
