Critical infrastructure systems are the lifelines that drive the nation’s economy and essential services for Americans. At the same time, critical infrastructure faces modern challenges supporting innovation and US competitiveness – such as unexpected disruptive events and rapid growth in energy demand.
To drive efficient and effective critical infrastructure investments and technology, the Critical Infrastructure Resilience team provides analytical insights and value delivery to federal/state agencies and customers. We work closely with a growing list of customers and industry partners helping provide a rich, multi-variate framework for improving Grid Resilience, Grid Reliability, and Grid Safety – while balancing affordable energy provision to citizens across America’s urban and rural landscapes.
We leverage interdisciplinary capabilities for critical infrastructure research aimed at energy affordability, reliability, and grid resilience to ensure our energy dominance in the next decade and beyond.
Our researchers come from various geography and data science backgrounds to work on issues impacting people across the country. Our research supports energy, gas, and rail infrastructures; urban and rural planning for network modeling and optimization; infrastructure siting, decision analysis, and critical customer mapping; cascading interdependency analysis surrounding major disruptive events; AI/ML analysis, Big Data analysis of complex multi-variate systems; satellite remote sensing algorithm development and data analysis; urban and rural resilience including network-human interactions that impact energy affordability; Tribal community engagement and governance, stakeholder partnerships and engagement, and integrated sensitive data controls, governance, and risk assessment.
