Dr. Donald Docimo received funding from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering for research on computing systems and their impact on the environment. Traditionally, computing systems are designed to maximize energy efficiency and job performance, while elements such as greenhouse gas emissions and electronic waste continue to trend upward. This project tackles the sustainability of computing systems using dynamic system optimization, setting an explicit focus on critical sustainability metrics for designing future computing systems. An emphasis is placed on pushing forward the scientific understanding of sustainable computing systems, and to impact future critical structures such as datacenters. Dr. Docimo wants to not only support the computing field, but also to provide advancements in the design and controls fields. This project will support the education of scientific communities and the public through expansive multimedia resource development and student training.
