Data and Decision Science

We bring together expertise in computer science, mathematics, geospatial analysis, software development, and data management to turn complex data into models and actionable decision support resources for sponsors. Key capabilities include:

• Modeling and simulation: We develop and apply novel methods for agent-based modeling, system dynamics, complex adaptive systems modeling, and network analysis to support decision-making.
• High-performance computing: We use specialized computing resources to integrate artificial intelligence into research and build trusted models for security and resilience missions.
• Data resources for domain experts: We create software and web platforms that make modeling and simulation results more accessible and useful to technical audiences.
• Data management for decision support: We use proven, scalable approaches to data governance, quality, security, and integration —including cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning methods —to strengthen the rigor and efficiency of our analysis.
