KU's Research Rising awards will address critical challenges facing humanity
Securing Our Worlds: Physical, Digital, Social
This project will form an interdisciplinary, multicenter organization focused on finding solutions to otherwise unsolved problems related to safe and secure physical, digital and social environments — ultimately creating more secure and resilient communities. The principal investigator is Perry Alexander, AT&T Foundation Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and director of the Institute for Information Sciences. He is joined by faculty colleagues in engineering, philosophy, history and journalism. The project aligns with two of KU’s strategic research areas: Safety & Security and Human Experience in the Digital Age. Watch the team’s video to learn more.
