Contracts & Grants
-
$69,079 grant from AFMC/A5 to support the further development of the Integrated Sustainment Wargame & Analysis Toolkit (ISWAT) providing a modeling, simulation, and analysis solution for logistics analysis during Long Duration Logistics Wargames (LDLW) and beyond. This project’s is to propose the financial support necessary to develop the operating and sustainment (O&S) costs of ISWAT wargaming assets and develop an excel based tool linking ISWAT wargaming asset usage to their associated costs. This excel-based tool will provide data visualization of the calculated total costs along with a probability distribution of costs by category.
- $175,589 grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to explore and prototype modern data storage (relational and so-called NoSQL databases), analysis architectures and associated software tools that would enable a wide range of authorized users to efficiently parse, store, and analyze log data. April 2018 – April 2021. Principal Investigator
- $5,000 grant from Air University Integration Cell to quantify which end-to-end design and build systems (i.e. UBM, FRAMECAD, pre-fabrication systems, etc.) are best suited for a variety of contingency environments across the globe. Overall, the deliverable is to provide a simple and useable tool that will allow Civil Engineers across the Air Force to quickly identify what construction assets are available, where these assets are located, and what types of facilities can be produced by our own forces given the expected operations environment. April 2017 – April 2018. Principal Investigator
- $517,815 grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to develop a Computation Agent Capable of Adapting Roles with a Human Machine Team. This research aims to develop computationally intelligent agents to perform as teammates in human-machine teams. It is proposed that a computational agent must have the intelligence to adapt its role—much as a human operator adapts his or her role—within a team as needed during system operation. April 2016 – April 2019. Co-Principal Investigator
- $127K grant from Air Force Office of Scientific Research to investigate Workload-Adaptive Human Interface to Aid Robust Decision Making in Human-System Interface. This cross-departmental research proposal seeks to address two significant issues within the area of workload adaptive interfaces; specifically the development of predictive multi-channel workload metrics and the development of learning algorithms for rapidly evolving user specific workload estimates and system response to these estimates. Oct 2012 – Sep 2015. Co-Principle Investigator
- $39K equipment/software grant from the 711th Human Performance Wing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct a multi-agency (AFIT, 711th, FAA, and AF Air Traffic Control Community) study into effectiveness of stereoscopic displays and text cueing for air traffic control purposes. Apr 2012 – Mar 2013. Principle Investigator
- $18K grant from the 689th Combat Communications Wing awarded the Air Force Institute of Technology to investigate future communication technologies impacting 689th CCW readiness. Oct 2011 – Mar 2013. Co-Principle Investigator.
- $12.5M contract from the Department of Homeland Security awarded to the University of Arizona, Center for the Management of Information to create the “National Center for Border Security and Immigration”. Aug 2008 – Sep 2013. Research technical innovations and policy solutions to secure the northern and southern borders.
