NASA EPSCoRThe Alabama NASA EPSCoR program has two components:1) a full research program, competitively selected in a field of interest to both NASA and the State of Alabama. We have only one such program, directed by Dr Michael George of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), entitled "Microcantilever Arrays for Chemical and Biological Sensing". Details are given below. 2) "Infrastructure Development", and includes a) seed grants to investigators in early stages of development of their Space Science and Aerospace Technology research programs, b) grants which support undergraduate and graduate student working visits to NASA field centers, and c) partial support of workshops and conferences held at Alabama member universities in areas of direct interest to NASA. Our participation facilitates more involvement by our students in the work of the conference, giving them a chance to hear discussions of international research work in progress and to meet the scientists and engineers involved. Research Program: Microcantilever Arrays for Chemical and Biological Sensing. Participating faculty and their contact information are: Dr Michael George, mgeorge@matsci.uah.edu Dr Carmen Scholz, cscholz@matsci.uah.edu Dr Joseph Ng, ngj@uah.edu Abstract: The program partially supports two postdoctoral scientists and several research students. At the end of the second year of the program, one student has just graduated with a Masters degree (by thesis), one publication has been accepted and several are in preparation. Seed Research Programs There are 3 seed research programs: 1) Vibration characterization and control of composite rotor systems for propulsion and power George T. Flowers, PhD Department of Mechanical Engineering, Auburn University gflowers@eng.auburn.edu 2) Novel Carbon-Based Nanostructured Materials for Low-Weight, High-Strength, and High-Temperature Applications Renato Camata, PhD Physics Department, UAB 3) Interfacial Properties of Ferrofluid Droplets for Biomaterial Applications Duane Johnson and John Wiest, Department of Chemical Engineering University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa Student Internships at NASA Centers With a combination of resources including the Alabama NASA EPSCOR, the NASA Summer Faculty Program, the MSFC Education Office and the Alabama Space Grant Consortium, we have designed a program for 5 Alabama A&M students to undertake a new program to design and build a rocket during the summer of 2003. Technical mentoring is provided by Marshall engineers and the program is directed by Dr. Razi Hassan of AAMU. |
