Associate Professor Michael Bode develops new mathematical theory and tools to better understand the Earth’s threatened ecosystems to more effectively conserve them into the future. Such systems are typically of enormous scale in practice, with hundreds of thousands of inter-related variables and constraints, multiple conflicting objectives, and numerous candidate solutions that can easily exceed the total number of atoms in the solar system, overwhelming even the fastest computers. The first launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was in June of 2010 and it failed. Problems with light pollution continue, even as both SpaceX and Amazon (which is planning its own constellation of over 3,200 satellites for internet service), have been working with astronomical organizations to figure out how to minimize the impact. The survival rate has remained low for decades, highlighting the urgent need for innovative translational research into this disease.
