Extreme weather conditions related to climate change affect our food, water, energy, and health. How do we improve the resilience of our vulnerable ecosystems? And how do we plan for future cities without being at odds with environmental sustainability?
The dependence of modern societies on cyberspace leaves them vulnerable to attack. Accidental faults, design errors, cyberattacks, or unexpected operating conditions in computational tools and networks could impose a dynamic range of threat severity. This impedes sustainable operations from a micro- to macro-scale. How do we model, architect, and design computers, networks, and devices with diversity, flexibility, resilience, and built-in baseline defense in mind?
The COVID-19 pandemic, first identified in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019, has since evolved into variant strains that continue to stress healthcare systems the world over. How are microorganisms evolving to continue impacting our daily lives? And how do we defend ourselves by building up more robust, global health response, research, and care delivery systems?
