Research Partnerships

We strive to create impactful solutions that address society's critical challenges through our research. 

For instance, in applied machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI), researchers in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) collaborate with critical infrastructure stakeholders to develop and deploy AI/ML techniques that enhance human ability to predict infrastructure health. Additionally, CECS researchers are advancing next-generation power systems by integrating smart grid technologies, power electronics, and renewable energy solutions. Their research focuses on enhancing grid resilience and efficiency through intelligent energy management, second-life battery storage, and advanced power conversion systems, paving the way for a more sustainable and reliable electricity infrastructure. These are just a couple of examples of the work being done.
