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.

Mri: Acquisition of Self-Referenced Frequency Comb For Atomic-Molecular-Optical Physics and Optical Signal Processing Research
Research Objectives and Approach
The objective of this research is to investigate applications of optical frequency combs in photonic signal processing and atomic-molecular-optical (AMO) physics. The approach is to acquire a state of the art, commercial frequency comb laser to enable new experimental studies.
Intellectual Merit
In ultrafast photonics the frequency comb will enable generation of optical and radio-frequency signals with instantaneous bandwidth and long-term jitter properties significantly better than available by conventional technologies. In AMO physics research, the frequency comb will enable driving coherent optical transitions involving very different transition frequencies, and will be an invaluable tool, for example, to create ground state molecules via photoassociation for current research aiming to use such molecules for quantum computing. Furthermore, the proposed equipment is expected to catalyze new interdisciplinary collaborations involving both disciplines.
Broader Impacts
The proposed equipment will provide rich opportunities for broad student training in areas of cutting-edge technology and enable new research impacting optical and wireless communications, both areas with direct societal impact, and quantum computing, an emerging area with potential for revolutionary impact in the long term. Broader impact is also anticipated through a variety of activities in which the proposing faculty are engaged. For example, Weiner is currently Chair of the National Academy of Engineering?s Frontiers of Engineering conference, considered to be an important career development opportunity for future engineering leaders, while Elliott is active in diversity issues, as evidenced by his term as Director of Graduate Recruitment and Retention Programs at Purdue?s College of Engineering.

U.S.-India Catalyzing New International Collaboration With Anna University For Computational Enzyme Design Research: Sirt1 and Sirt3
1157446 Chakrabarti
This award will catalyze a new international research collaboration in chemical engineering between Purdue University, Indiana and Anna University, Chennai, India. Dr. Raj Chakrabarti, School of Chemical Engineering will collaborate with Dr. Krishnan Baskar, Crystal Growth Center and the Department of Chemical Engineering, Alagappa College of Technology at Anna University. The project, Computational Enzyme Design Research: Sirt1 and Sirt3, will study the evolutionary dynamics of Sirtuin enzymes vis-à-vis the binding of small molecules with the ultimate goal of treating age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
This project will involve both computer aided sequence and binding-site analysis of enzymes and experimental verification of the predicted activities of computer generated sequences and structures. The computational program will entail extensive project-specific enzyme design code development within the framework of the Chakrabarti general enzyme design protocols. Enhancement of design algorithms and experimental work will be conducted at Purdue; while the enzyme specific code development will be at Anna, which brings world-class computational code development capabilities and university-wide computational proficiency. Prof. Baskar's expertise in crystallography provides technical knowledge that is critical to the success of this project.
NSF funding will enable the PI to strengthen collaborative linkages between Anna and Purdue universities. The initial visit by the PI and two advanced graduate students will allow them to define the scope of the project, discuss details with faculty and students, and delineate activities at individual levels. For at least one of the US-graduate students, the visit will provide a unique international research experience. The project brings together complementary strengths from both teams and institutions, and fosters innovation cost-effectively by mobilizing international research teams through its focus on a grand challenge problem with global implications. The findings from this exploratory study will provide the groundwork for a subsequent proposal likely to be submitted to the NSF/CBET, Bioengineering and Engineering Healthcare Program.
