The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Trustees of Tufts College $1,149,014 under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) through the Translation to Practice (TTP) initiative. The award, effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029, supports the development and deployment of a hybrid digital twin framework for levee monitoring and risk assessment. The project delivers an innovative simulation system that integrates physics-based models with data-driven machine learning to provide probabilistic, near real-time predictions of levee performance. Key products include multi-scale models simulating critical failure mechanisms such as seepage, slope instability, and overtopping at both structural and regional levels, enabling earlier detection of flood risks and improved maintenance decision-making for the 23 million people and trillions of dollars in property protected by levee systems nationwide. The research team collaborates with federal agencies, local levee districts, and industry partners to ensure deliverables are practical, affordable, and ready for real-world deployment. This project represents the first levee-specific digital twin framework combining advanced physics-based modeling with machine learning capabilities and positions the resulting tools to reduce flood risk, enhance emergency preparedness, and optimize taxpayer investments in flood protection infrastructure. The work is performed at Tufts University's location in Medford, Massachusetts.Federal Grant Award Summary
