The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded Washington State University $220,000 on January 1, 2027, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop the scientific foundations of communication-aware federated bilevel optimization over wireless networks for edge intelligence systems. The project addresses hierarchical decision-making in resource-constrained wireless environments where distributed devices collaboratively learn and optimize while preserving data privacy. Research focuses on performance characterization over noisy fading wireless channels, communication-aware algorithm design, and adaptive methods that account for unreliable communications, limited radio resources, constrained device capabilities, and dynamic operating conditions. The work targets applications including AI-native wireless networks, autonomous systems, smart manufacturing, and personalized healthcare. Washington State University will integrate research outcomes into undergraduate and graduate courses, engage undergraduate students in research, and conduct outreach activities to broaden participation in STEM. The project will release open-source software and educational resources to accelerate workforce development in intelligent wireless systems and promote interdisciplinary collaborations evaluating methods in industrial automation and large-scale scientific facilities. Period of performance runs from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029. Work is performed in Pullman, Washington.
