We have yet to fully leverage the collective strength this network now holds,” according to Anna J. “Our hope over the next two years is to continue to gain momentum around the effort, connecting decision-makers within the Biden Administration, DOE, and industry directly with universities at a deeper level. “With the growing urgency of climate change and the critical importance of energy infrastructure, now is the time for researchers to come together in this way.”Ī two-year Sloan Foundation grant is supporting the facilitation, operation, and convening of the Collaborative, and includes funding to spark and seed university-level projects within the group. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University. “We have seen significant ground swell around this initiative, with many new scholarly and practical opportunities coming to light,” said Collaborative co-founder Jay Whitacre, director of the Wilton E. The statement also recognizes the responsibility that American universities have in finding solutions to these problems, preparing students to be the future energy workforce, and creating a sustainable energy future. In a joint leadership statement signed by 67 energy institutes and released on May 19, 2021, the group underscores that energy systems are intertwined with complex issues - including climate change and access to affordable energy - but ill-designed for effective operation in a world facing these pressures. The Collaborative is also working together to align training and educational objectives to support students as they prepare to manage future energy systems. The University Energy Institute Collaborative (UEIC) creates a national network of energy researchers and experts who will provide both localized and global experience in energy infrastructure, policy and climate research. More than 150 university-based energy institutes around the country have formed a first-of-its-kind partnership to address the critical challenges facing America’s energy systems. Sigmon, managing director. ND Energy is a University Center whose mission is to build a better world by creating new energy technologies and systems and educating individuals to help solve the most critical energy challenges facing the world today. For more information about ND Energy and its UEIC affiliation, contact Peter C. Claffy is excited about it.Īs she describes it, “It will be like a Wikipedia for Internet infrastructure.The Center for Sustainable Energy at Notre Dame (ND Energy) proudly shares the following announcement of the University Energy Institute Collaborative (UEIC) of which it is a part. The Open Knowledge Network is still in the planning stages, but Dr. Clark wrote in their report on the workshop, “that higher quality and more accessible data will enable better decision-making, direction-setting and improvement in Internet security and resilience.”Ī month later, she was preparing for a follow-up workshop for February 2020. It addressed, among other topics, the threats to the Internet at various layers, and proposed research directions to mitigate them. David Clark led an exploration of the feasibility and long-term sustainability of such an Open Knowledge Network. In a December 2019 workshop hosted by CAIDA, she and fellow Internet Hall of Fame inductee Dr. It would study and taxonomize the Internet’s naming, addressing and routing systems to address what she calls “the empirical gap in science, security and public communications policy.” The project would entail, among many other facets, reaching out to academics, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and other stakeholders worldwide. The goal is to develop a transparent, common, standardized database of Internet infrastructure whose data can be independently verified. The research group she leads at UCSD has been exploring the feasibility and long-term sustainability of an “Open Knowledge Network” of public data on Internet infrastructure. She’s also been working on an intriguing new project.
She also serves as resident research scientist of the Supercomputer Center at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) and is an Adjunct Professor in UCSD’s Computer Science and Engineering Department. She continues to direct the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA), which she founded. Kimberly Claffy has not exactly been taking it easy since she was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in September 2019.
