Congratulations to Dr. Carlos Martínez Mori, on receiving the National Science Foundation award, "Collaborative Research: Designing Transit Systems with Public Approval through Cooperative Linear Production Games" (Award #2620205), with total funding of $349,614.
CU Denver is the lead of this collaborative proposal that also includes Dr. Alejandro Toriello, from GA Institute of Technology, (Award #2620206, $84,088).
This prestigious award recognizes the significance of Dr. Martínez Mori's research and his leadership in advancing innovative methods for public-sector decision-making. His work exemplifies the high-impact, interdisciplinary research that funding agency seeks to support, and this award is a well-deserved acknowledgment of Dr. Martínez Mori's contributions to optimization, operations research, and public policy.
This research has the potential to make a meaningful impact on society by helping public agencies make investment decisions that are not only efficient but also equitable and broadly supported by the communities they serve. By developing mathematical models that explicitly incorporate stakeholder preferences into public planning, Dr. Martínez Mori's work will enable better decisions for transit systems and other public infrastructure investments where competing priorities often make consensus difficult. The resulting analytical tools can help governments allocate resources more effectively, improve access to essential public services, strengthen public trust in decision-making, and ensure that investments better reflect the needs and values of the communities they serve. Congratulations to Dr. Carlos again on this outstanding achievement and on securing NSF support for research that promises lasting benefits for both the scientific community and society.
