The project also examines how problem...
- 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 $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...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research on the foundations of "super-linearization" of nonlinear dynamical systems. The research aims to leverage linear system theory to address challenges in analyzing and controlling complex nonlinear dynamics, with applications spanning diverse fields such as fluid dynamics, epidemiology, robotics, and power grids. The project, led by The Washington...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) a $499,425 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program. The 4-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will support the integration of interdisciplinary curriculum and collaborative teaching methods across RPI's Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) department. Key objectives include transforming the department's teaching culture,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant totaling $349,410 to Harvey Mudd College under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) for the project "Prototyping a Systems Thinking Framework to Foster Environmental and Sociotechnical Thinking Across an Interdisciplinary Engineering Curriculum". The goal of this 3-year project is to design, develop, implement, and assess a systems thinking framework that undergraduate engineering students can apply to coursework,...
- This $522,014 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop new data-driven methods for correctly identifying interaction structures in complex dynamical networks. The research aims to address challenges in reconstructing network structures from finite, non-ideal data streams, such as those found in neural interactions, weather patterns, computing systems, and financial markets. The project will provide...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $360,000 Project Grant to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to develop a theoretical framework for conducting accurate hypothetical interventions on complex systems and predicting their outcomes. The overarching goal is to provide decision-makers with a reliable basis for planning and risk assessment when implementing complex policy changes, infrastructure modifications, or emergency responses that could have significant performance, robustness, or safety consequences. The project will introduce new theoretical foundations for causal reasoning in complex systems, moving beyond the limitations of traditional data analysis to explore counterfactual scenarios. This 3-year project from September 2025 to August 2028 will also include educational components targeting students at high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, as well as contributions to the educational missions of relevant technical societies.
