Grants, Contracts, and Funds

PI for WRT-1010: ~$4 million over 2 years (2018-2020) for DoD/Picatinny Arsenal. The project leveraged on Natural Language Processing to develop 2 systems: a Risk evaluation interactive panel and a Technology monitoring system, both based on metrics extracted from vectorized text. The team was composed by about 25 great people.

PI for WRT-1023: ~$500k in 2020 for the Defense Acquisition University. The project - based on Natural Language Processing - was focused on creating a prototype system to classify purchase requests by contract type, using a computational version of the knowledge base of a contracting officer we created.

Co-PI for WRT-1018: ~$750k in 2020-'21 for the Defense Acquisition University. The project was focused on defining educational macro credentials in key areas. My responsibility is on Data Analytics and included 3 seminars for DAU audience.
