Data scientists from Oregon’s three largest universities working with colleagues at Washington State University have received a $1.4 million National Science Foundation grant to help fellow scientists across the Northwest address challenges such as earthquake preparedness, securing electrical power systems, and improved environmental health.
The funding will provide access to those technologies to a range of scientists at institutions across the Northwest to help them generate discoveries in fields including biology, forestry, engineering, energy and marine sciences.
WSU partners in the research are Tanya Cheeke, assistant professor of microbial ecology in the school of biological sciences, and Stephanie Porter, assistant professor in the school of biological sciences at WSU Vancouver.
