In January 2016 Dr. Ming Xu became the recipient of a 5-year CAREER: Computational Approaches for Life Cycle Inventory Database grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant will fund research to develop a faster, less expensive method of generating Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data. The research will 1.) Create a framework for modeling and analyzing LCI networks; 2.) Develop computational models for estimating missing LCI data; and 3.) Apply these models to evaluate LCI data quality and predict LCI data for emerging technologies.
