Model Development for Bayesian Risk Assessment and Management of Supply Chains Impacted by COVID-19 and Other Converging Threats

COVID-19 has generated disruptions on supply chains across the world with impacts reflected in shortage, or delay of supplies, accompanied by strong shifts of demand for several economic sectors. Under such a disruption, the challenge is to address the social, environmental, and economic impacts on U.S. Supply Chain infrastructure, and identify critical nodes and processes in order to protect and restore the supply chains for an uninterrupted flow of supplies and materials critical to Homeland Security

Yucatan Initiative Project: Transforming Yucatan & Texas Through Research, Teaching & Service

The Yucatan Initiative Project (YIP) was established to foster international collaborations of faculty and students between Texas A&M University (TAMU) and member institutions of the Yucatan Research Consortium (SIIDETEY) in the state of Yucatan, Mexico. The YIP was developed to identify knowledge gaps, set research challenges, organize submission of proposals and securing seed funding aimed at producing economic development in both states in the U.S. and Mexico respectively. The Yucatan Initiative Project, now in its 7th consecutive year, has shown to be a successful model for international collaboration to address regional problems and increase exposure for student's global competencies
