Want to join our Team?

Are you interested in the sustainability, equity and resilience of our food, water, electricity, energy transportation, industrial, and/or supply chain systems?

Or are you interested in investigating and developing new technologies like microgrids powered by used EV batteries and solar panels, RFID enabled blockchains, and digital communication platforms that can aid with sustainability, equity, and resilience objectives?

Do you think you can with the proper guidance and encouragement learn how develop mathematically rigorous frameworks that provide stakeholders with the insights they need to make sustainable, equitable, and resilient decisions under various uncertainties?

Then join the Sustainable and Equitable Allocation of Resources or SEAR Lab (directed by me, Erick C. Jones Jr.) where we investigate how communities, companies, and countries can allocate their limited resources in a way that maximizes their desired outcomes in a sustainable, equitable, and resilient but also elegant way. We assess these problems by combining physical experimentation, data analytics, and stochastic systems optimization to provide actionable decisions and create scalable prototypes.
