The Future of Smart Cities and Real Estate in India: Building Intelligent, Sustainable Urban Ecosystems
As India undergoes one of the world’s fastest urban transformations, the Smart Cities Mission, launched by the Government of India in 2015, is reshaping how cities grow, connect, and sustain themselves. With more than 35% of India’s population now living in urban areas, a number expected to surpass 40% by 2030, the initiative aims to develop over 100 technology-enabled, people-centric cities equipped with robust digital infrastructure, sustainable systems, and efficient governance.
Cal Poly Pomona Receives $7.5M NSF Grant to Launch National Smart Manufacturing Research Center
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) a $7.5 million grant, one of the largest in the university’s history, to establish the Center for Research Advancement in Smart Manufacturing (CREST-RASM).

SCC-LSR: Integrating Probabilistic Digital Twinning and Dynamic Optimization to Enhance EMS Operations
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are vital to public health and safety, providing life-saving care before patients reach a hospital. Yet EMS systems operate under intense pressure, making rapid decisions about ambulance deployment, dispatch, and transport in the face of constant uncertainty—from unpredictable emergency call volumes to traffic conditions. These decisions are often made using simple, rule-based approaches that can fall short under real-world complexity.
SCC-IRG: Edge AI, Biofabrication, and Data Science for Disaster Preparedness and Community Wellbeing in Hawaii

Communities in Hawaii and similar remote, rural, and austere regions often face dynamic local conditions that can impact public infrastructure and well-being. Events such as sudden changes in water quality or air particulates after a disaster can present significant challenges. Effectively monitoring and responding to these events requires timely, localized data, which is often difficult to obtain with existing infrastructure.
