Goce Trajcevski (PI, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Northwestern University), in collaboration with
Isabel Cruz (lead PI, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)),
Sybil Derrible, Dept. of Civil and Material Engineering (co-PI, UIC),
Michael Siciliano (co-PI, Dept. of Public Administration, UIC), and
Roberto Tamassia (PI, Dept. of Computer Science, Brown University), have received an
$800K grant from the highly competitive
NSF Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) program for the three-year interdisciplinary project
"CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Mapping and Querying Underground Infrastructure Systems." The investigators will develop models and methods to generate, analyze, and share data on underground infrastructure systems, such as water, gas, electricity, and sewer networks. Also, they will leverage partnerships with the cities of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois, to make the approach and findings relevant to their stakeholders.
