NSF Expeditions in Computing for
Computational Decarbonization of Societal Infrastructures at Mesoscales (NSF CoDec)
Unifying, transforming, and accelerating growth of societal infrastructure domains using computational techniques.
About
NSF CoDec will foster a new computational field through an interdisciplinary collaboration spanning 6 universities, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst. We draw on a variety of expertise in theory, AI, systems, energy systems, built environment, and economics.
Research
NSF CoDec research focuses on optimizing the efficiency and resilience of societal infrastructure to ensure sustainable growth of computing and societal infrastructure using computational and data-driven techniques.
Education
NSF CoDec will train the next-generation of researchers and practitioners at the intersection of computation and sustainability. We will develop new courses and concentrations at the undergraduate level, and a model research-driven graduate curriculum in collaboration with ACM SIGEnergy.
