The foundation is composed of the following four research institutes and two labs:

  • Sampson Institute for Quantum Technology

  • Werbow Institute for Space Sciences

  • Center for Extreme Weather

  • Center for Geoscience Research

  • Arctic Lab

  • Atmosphere Lab

Werbow Institute for Space Sciences

The Werbow Institute is currently engaged in theoretical astronomy research. Cosmology is a major area of research. Current projects include GR clock drift effects on satellite noise and utilizing Cosmology to develop novel methods of probing the optical depth of extragalactic CGM’s (circumgalactic medium).

Sampson Institute for Quantum Technology

The Sampson Institute for Quantum Technology is interested in the applications of Quantum computing to solving known physical problems. Specifically, its application to machine learning and fuzzy data. To this end, the Institute seeks to support any relevant theoretical or applied research into quantum computing and physics whilst engaging in its own research projects.

Center for Extreme Weather

Machine Learning has the promise of developing robust algorithms for predicting climate change patterns. This is the primary mission of the center. Using existing data from circumpolar satellites, we are trying to develop predictive models for ice cap melting around the northwest passage: a change which will have major anthropogenic implications.

Center for Geoscience Research

The Center for Geoscience Research is concerned with a wide array of geophysics research. Currently, we are researching volcanic data and interferometry. We most recently worked with the University of Tokyo on this subject.

Arctic Lab

The Arctic lab studies glacial melting patterns around the poles and how warming poles impacts the world around us.

Atmosphere Lab

The Atmosphere lab is concerned with changes in the atmosphere, how it impacts the climate, and how it impacts people both today and tomorrow.
