We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Csr:Medium: Architecturally Diverse Systems For Streaming Applications
Architecturally Diverse Systems for Streaming Applications Abstract (0905368) Many important scientific computing problems, called ?streaming applications,? have high input data rates derived from real-time sensor data or directly from data streaming from disk arrays. Real-time sensor based data (e.g., telescopic astrophysical data obtained in the search for new planets) is frequently sourced from analog devices and requires filtering and various data cleaning prior to performing a host of complex computations. Large disk based data sets (e.g., genome and protein sets used in understanding disease factors) are often passed at high data rates from disk storage. Choices for dealing with such applications include a multiplicity of computing devices (e.g., general purpose processors, chip-multiprocessors, graphics processors, field programmable gate arrays, etc.). While each individually is well matched to certain types of computations, often more effective solutions are found by integrating multiple computer types into a single system. The central research issue is determining how to effectively integrate diverse computing resources for solution of complex streaming applications. The research includes further development of the AutoPipe design environment. AutoPipe provides tools for algorithm specification, and for design, simulation and deployment of diverse integrated computing architectures. Techniques for inclusion of analog devices in mixed analog-digital systems is being undertaken so that Auto-Pipe can handle mixed signal, analog/digital algorithmic functional and resource components in a single system. The research activity is driven by two important applications taken from the astro-physics and computational biology domains. There will be heavy involvement of graduate and undergraduate students in the research.

Veritas Upgrade For Optical Monitoring of Astronomical Transients
The Very Energetic Radiation Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is a specialized observatory located in southern Arizona, specifically designed for “gamma-ray astronomy”. VERITAS is comprised of four 12m optical reflectors designed to detect the faint flashes of blue light from very energetic photons (gamma-rays) interacting in the Earth’s atmosphere. Such gamma-ray photons come from violent processes in the universe such as exploding stars, super-massive black holes in the centers of galaxies, and very dense magnetized stars (called neutron stars). This project will modify the electronics of the VERITAS telescopes to allow continuous monitoring of optical variations in visible light from astrophysical objects while also capturing these gamma-ray events, to provide sensitivity to astronomical sources that are too faint, or vary too rapidly to be detected by conventional optical telescopes. There are two key scientific programs this instrumentation advancement will permit. Firstly, a search for optical counterparts of fast radio bursts (FRBs) – mysterious rapid outbursts of radio waves originating from very distant galaxies. Secondly, serendipitous observations of shadows cast by small outer-solar system bodies (typically beyond the orbit of Neptune) that transit nearby stars. The project plans to be active in informing the public of their work through an outreach program with St. Louis City Schools. This proposal is aimed at producing a new type of observatory sensitive to astrophysical phenomena with very rapid optical variability. Realizing this capability can be achieved by an improvement of the electronics on the VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array) gamma-ray observatory. Improvements to the VERITAS waveform digitizer electronics would transform the VERITAS instrument into an optical observatory with unmatched sensitivity for observations on timescales less than 10 msec. The wide-field of view (3.5 deg) large aperture (12m diameter dishes) photon-counting detectors, and very high-speed readout (up to 500 MHz) would make this a uniquely capable instrument for studying the universe in a new temporal window. A novel approach is proposed whereby the programmable logic on the FADC boards would be changed in a way to provide high-speed streaming computation of the light intensity through a photon counting technique. The modified electronics would allow the system to continue to function as a gamma-ray telescope, while providing continuous monitoring of optical variability over the entire field-of-view. The project also plans interdisciplinary transfer of the technology developed to a cancer detection project at the same university.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
