Geochemist Receives NSF Grant for Work in Developing Search Engines for Climate Change Data
No researcher is an island. While scientists and academics certainly find themselves toiling alone in laboratories and behind computers at times, it is collaboration—consulting, borrowing from and building upon the research of others—that really drives discovery. And in the field…
A&S Physicist Awarded NSF Grant to Enhance Gravitational Wave Data Analysis
In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) observed the first detection of gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of spacetime created by the cataclysmic collision of two black holes. The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Gravitational Wave Group played a leading role in this…
NSF, Department of Energy Grants Enable Physicists to Continue Cutting-Edge Research in Neutrino Discovery
You may not know it, but every second 100 billion extremely tiny, invisible subatomic particles called neutrinos pass through every square centimeter of your hand. Physicist Mitch Soderberg says the reason you didn’t notice is because they rarely interact with…
Physicist Awarded NSF Grant to Continue Gravitational Wave Detector Research
In March 2023, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is set to begin its fourth yearlong observational period. Scientists on site in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana, have spent the last two years on hardware and software upgrades to…

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ has joined nine other colleges in the newly awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps): Interior Northeast Region Hub (IN I-Corps), a $15 million, five-year investment by the NSF that is designed to foster innovation and entrepreneurship…
A&S Physicists Part of NSF PAARE Grant to Diversify Astrophysics
Through a National Science Foundation Partnerships in Astronomy and Astrophysics Research and Education (PAARE) grant of more than $1 million, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will help create a new research and education program intended to diversify the field of gravitational-wave astrophysics, specifically…
Professor Dotger Awarded NSF Grant to Promote Data Sciences and STEM Workforce Development Through a Clinical Simulations Model
Professor Benjamin Dotger, director of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ School of Education’s (SOE) Center for Experiential Pedagogy and Practice (CEPP), has been awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to design and study an instructional model to enhance data science…
Professor Zhao Qin Receives NSF CAREER Award to Support Mycelium Research
The future of construction materials may exist just inches below the surface of a typical lawn. In between the rocks and soil, a vast microfiber network is constantly assimilating wood chips along with plant waste. You may not see the…
