Led by professor Randy Paffenroth, faculty leaders in these areas are coming together with a common goal: to develop integrated solutions to some of the planet’s most pressing problems in health, energy, transportation, and smart buildings and infrastructure, all of which require a computational––or “smart world”––approach. Data seems to be a connecting factor in the current work being done by the group.
