From power grids to social media and global supply chains, our world runs on complex networks. Raissa D’Souza is leading federally-funded research to predict how these systems respond to disruptions—whether from intentional attacks, natural disasters or unexpected failures.

It is where we train our tech workforce. Without federal funding, we hand over AI dominance to foreign nations."
