Welcome to
Sustainable and Equitable Allocation of Resources Lab (SEAR) Lab
Empowering innovation through sustainable practices and equitable resource allocation
About SEAR Lab
The Sustainable and Equitable Allocation of Resources (SEAR) Lab, led by Dr. Erick C. Jones Jr., is dedicated to advancing research and solutions in sustainable resource management.The SEAR lab is part of an innovation ecosystem that includes the RFID and Auto Identification and Data Science (RAID) labs where I serve as director, the Center for Stochastic Modeling, Optimization, and Statistics (COSMOS) where I serve as their Sustainability Lab Director, and the Pulsed Power Energy Lab.
Vision
The Clean Energy Transition (CET) will enable a major technology-enabled socioeconomic revolution that will substantially increase the abundance of resources, access to essential services, and opportunities sustainably, resiliently, and equitably; dramatically improving quality of life and provide a blueprint for utopia here and among the stars.
Mission
Research, develop, and deploy technologies, data acquisition tools, and decision analytics strategies for energy, infrastructure, and supply chain systems with a focus on community impactful projects.
Methods
Application of engineering design and analytical tools and techniques such as physical, digital and mathematical system modeling, lab and field-testing, optimization, simulation, statistical and machine learning (i.e., AI), LCA, TEA, and GIS.
