A team of researchers from George Mason University will lead efforts to develop a dynamic, high-performance programmable Cyber-Infrastructure testbed that connects research communities and their resources in the United States with collaborating partners and facilities in Europe
Bioengineering professor Siddhartha Sikdar is using technology to help individuals with limb loss better control their prostheses.
Environmental researcher Lucas Henneman is investigating air pollution’s impact on health. He uses large datasets and computer models to track pollution after it’s emitted from sources such as automobiles, coal power plants, and natural gas plants. The models help identify which people in nearby communities breathe in pollution.
The team’s work supports evidence-based decision making, informed by the models, to rethink and facilitate hospital operations in utilizing limited critical resources as demand surges.
