This project brings together researchers from seven disciplines (biological, materials and social sciences , computer and information science, engineering, education and geosciences) in collaborative research toward discovery and design through computing. Research projects concern: predictive network modeling of infectious disease dynamics, developing new piezoelectric materials, designing next-generation computer systems, modeling human interactions to promote learning in virtual communities, and developing a critical zone environmental observatory.
