IFCE-Rice-SENAI Program on Artificial Intelligence for
Urban Sustainability and Resilience to Natural Disasters in the Americas
This program integrates research and development, education, and local partnerships to improve infrastructure systems to better handle hydroclimate extremes. The goal of the program is to train a new generation of students, in partnership with local stakeholders, in artificial intelligence for infrastructure, climate, and urban data to address challenges caused by extreme weather. In the end, the program will lead to innovations in Construction and Engineering, Transportation Infrastructure, and Software sectors by developing new artificial intelligence and Big Data software for the design of resilient infrastructure.
