ESTO announces Advanced Modeling Technology (AMT) program

ESTO’s Intelligent Systems Technology (IST) group, led by Jacqueline Le Moigne, is pleased to announce the addition of a new program to better address the Earth Science Division’s new modeling strategy.

The Advanced Modeling Technology (AMT) program has been added to the group’s existing Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) program. AMT’s goal is to expand our current definition of modeling and to leverage state-of-the-art computer and information science for innovating advanced modeling techniques as well as new technologies and frameworks that will be essential in the development of Earth System digital twins.

Jacqueline, who has been instrumental in the promotion of digital twin technologies will lead the new AMT program, and she has announced the selection of Laura Rogers as the new program manager for AIST. The AIST program will maintain the development of Novel Observing Strategies (NOS) – technologies for collaborative, multi-sensor nodes, to enable (for example) an integrated Earth System Observatory – as well as investigate new computational techniques including quantum or neuromorphic computing.

More information about the reconfigured IST programs will be available soon. In the meantime, please feel free to contact Laura Rogers (laura.j.rogers@nasa.gov) or Jacqueline Le Moigne (jacqueline.j.lemoigne-stewart@nasa.gov) with any questions.
