Focusing on the next-generation cyber-physical infrastructure systems (CIS), the MECIS Center plans a portfolio of three multidisciplinary research subprojects at the nexus of autonomy, sensors, and artificial intelligence.
A holistic, multi-level research approach is adopted to address the planning, design, and operation aspects of CIS, ranging from micro (molecule) to macro (system) scales of CIS.
While each subproject constitutes a unique element of CIS, they synergistically work together to ensure the CIS integrity.

Unifying theme of the MECIS research plan. Interconnections among the three subprojects are represented by arrows:

(I) Sensor design for autonomous systems operations;
(II) Sensor data acquired from autonomous systems;
(III, VI) AI-enabled data analytics and decision making;
(IV) Infrastructure health data acquired from sensors;
(V) Autonomous systems perception data acquired from sensors
