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.

Career: Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming Approaches For Hydrogen Production Systems @ University South Carolina Research Foundation
Research:
As the United States makes the transition to a hydrogen economy, various technical challenges must be met. For vehicle fuel cell applications, a need exists for efficient production of hydrogen from liquid fuels. Liquid fuel reformer methods for hydrogen production must consider thermal interaction, startup procedures, and operating condition changes before these systems can become a truly viable energy alternative. Efficient operation often requires that chemical processing systems work well in different operating conditions and/or close to safety limitations. Chemical reaction systems may exhibit varied dynamic behavior based on the current operating conditions (nonlinear dynamics) and can sometimes switch to qualitatively different modes of operation (hybrid dynamics). This project considers nonlinear hybrid dynamic systems and with process safety constraints. The proposed methods require computational solution of difficult numerical optimization problems involving unknown variables that may take either continuous or integer values (mixed-integer optimization). Specifically, development and application of deterministic mixed-integer nonlinear optimization techniques for nonlinear process control applied to hydrogen production systems are considered.
This project also examines integration of research and education in the development of research-related educational tools and student programs with student impact at both the national and local level. Process control educational software will be developed for national dissemination. A cross-disciplinary undergraduate process control laboratory will be developed using a collaborative research-based environment. Here, enrollment would be encouraged from an existing National Science Foundation sponsored undergraduate research communication studio and student groups not normally drawn to systems engineering careers such as the Society of Women Engineers and National Society of Black Engineers. Finally, an outreach program will be started with graduate students presenting engineering demonstrations in area high schools.
Impact
Development and application of methods for improved operation of hydrogen production systems may have broad societal impact, aiding the transition to a hydrogen economy by improving system efficiency and speeding adoption of new technologies. In support of improved hydrogen production operation, development of novel chemical process control methods for complex nonlinear dynamic systems will be considered. Development of these concepts may have lasting effects across the chemical industry, in addition to improved hydrogen production system operation. Finally, development of improved general purpose deterministic mixed integer nonlinear programming solution methods may have impact across scientific and engineering disciplines.

Creating Industry-Ready Phd Graduates @ University South Carolina Research Foundation
This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
This engineering education research award to the University of South Carolina will employ researchers to investigate how engineering doctoral programs can better prepare graduates for careers in industry. This research explores the transformation of doctoral engineering education from the current structure with an emphasis on engineering science and narrowly defined research topics, to an intentional process that produces outcomes which are valued by modern constituencies. The project team will determine the knowledge, attributes and skills (KAS) valued by industry and the components of the Ph.D. programs that best prepare students in acquiring KAS valued by industry. It will also explore potential Ph.D. candidates' perceptions of KAS and how this relates to their attitudes towards pursuing a Ph.D. degree. This research could have a significant effect on strategies which will enable the United States to maintain its economic leadership and capacity to innovate and to sustain its share of high-technology jobs.

Reu Site: Sustainable Energy in Chemical Engineering @ University South Carolina Research Foundation
Proposal: 0851997 PI Name: John W. Weidner
"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."
The theme of the REU Site program is "Sustainable Energy in Chemical Engineering" with technical emphasis on nanoscience, catalysis and hydrogen technology (i.e. production, storage and use of hydrogen for the hydrogen economy). It will engage ten students for a ten-week summer program in cutting-edge research. A number of active researchers on the faculty are engaged as mentors, which provides the students with exposure to leading-edge research topics. The program will provide close personal mentoring of the students. The objective is to encourage them to consider careers in research and continuing study at the post-graduate level. In order to enhance the research experience, the REU program will include several group activities for the participants. The goal of these activities will be to enrich the participants' educational and research experience and facilitate collaboration and long-term relationships between them. The group activities will include a Research Communication Studio (RSC), tours of industrial sites, participant-led laboratory tours, workshops on graduate studies, a welcoming reception and final research symposium, and a variety of social activities. Participants will present their findings in a final poster session and technical presentation. The content and format of these posters and presentations will be like that used at technical conferences, such as the Annual and Regional student meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. The Principal Investigator (PI) will recruit participants nationally among rising juniors and seniors majoring in chemical engineering. Special emphasis will be placed on recruiting underrepresented minorities, as well as attracting students who would otherwise not have an opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research. Participation in this REU program will: (1) encourage students to continue their studies and seek research careers; (2) enhance professional development and communication skills; and (3) provide an enriching experience by exposing them to non-classroom faculty-student interaction.
