Information and Intelligent Automation
Exploring intelligent, automated technology and method development and innovative ways these intelligent systems can improve society.
We create or improve technologies that allow small - and large-scale systems — from autonomous vehicles to financial markets — to recover from adverse events such as component failures, unexpected conditions or cyber attacks.
Research interests in this area include cyber resilience, risk and vulnerability modeling and analysis, model-based systems engineering, design and operational test and evaluation of systems.

Julianne Quinn
Quinn's research focuses on optimization and simulation methods used to inform the design and management of water resources systems with the goals of protecting people from nature (floods and droughts), and nature from people (pollution and consumption). She is interested in how advanced sensing and forecasting techniques inform this optimization.
