Frank Vernon

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr. Frank Vernon is co-PI for ALERTCalifornia and PI for the University of California’s High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN) program. HPWREN is a large-scale wireless high-performance data network that is being used for interdisciplinary research and education applications, as well as a research test bed for wireless technology systems in general.

Currently HPWREN provides wide area wireless internet access for ALERT California throughout southernmost California including San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Inyo and Riverside counties. Under ALERT California and HPWREN, research is being conducted on building “last kilometer” wireless links and developing networking infrastructure to capture real-time data from multiple types of sensors from seismic and GPS networks, hydrological sensors, oceanographic sensors, wildfire cameras and meteorological sensors.

Falko Kuester

Co-Principal Investigator

Dr. Falko Kuester is co-PI for ALERTCalifornia and the Calit2 Professor for Visualization and Virtual Reality at the University of California San Diego and holds appointments as Professor in the Departments of Structural Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering . He serves as the director of the Cultural Heritage Engineering Initiative , the Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology, the Calit2 Center of Graphics, Visualization and Virtual Reality (GRAVITY), and the UC San Diego DroneLab. Professor Kuester is working on methodologies and techniques for rapid infrastructure diagnostics and assessment, including diagnostic and analytical imaging and big-data visualization, providing engineers, scientists, first responders and stakeholders, with a means to create and explore large-scale digital twins of engineered systems intuitively and interactively. This research is also creating the foundation for the development of digital twins of large scale ecosystems and world cultural heritage sites and artifacts, providing a means for researchers, stakeholders, and the public alike to experience and study these artifacts and facilitate their preservation.

His vision for “Engineering a Future for the Past and Present” has helped create a catalyst for the development of disruptive technologies, including big-data analytics, deep learning, virtual reality and augmented reality, robotics/drones and layered manufacturing. The DroneLab explores drones for imaging on land, under water and in the air, for environmental and habitat monitoring, disaster and post-disaster reconnaissance, search and rescue, precision farming, general photography, cinematography, archaeology and the reconstruction of cultural heritage sites, among others.

Prof. Kuester received an MS degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1994 and MS degree in Computer Science and Engineering in 1995 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of California, Davis.
