DARPA Young Faculty Award We are happy to announce that Dr. Michael Leuenberger (joint Physics appointment) has received the prestigious Young Faculty Award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the central research and development organization for the Department of Defense (DoD). The Young Faculty Award was created to offer a venue by which research ideas proposed by young faculty can be sponsored and promoted within the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) at DARPA. The Young Faculty Award (YFA) is expected to provide MTO with revolutionary research ideas that are critical to future technology developments. We congratulate Dr. Leuenberger in this achievement and wish him success in this new endeavor.
Three Nano Students Win Best Poster Awards at the 2008 UCF Research Week
We congratulate Atul Asati (mentor: Dr. Perez), Xiong Liu (mentor: Dr. Huo), and Paul Stokes (mentor: Dr. Khondaker) on this accomplishment. The UCF Research Week is an annual event held to highlight student's unique contributions to the university's research mandate. Each annual Research Week has a defining theme and this year's topic was the Environment: Conservation, Energy, and the Quality of Life. The topics of the students posters range from a gold nanoparticle assay that shows potential as a cancer biomarker, cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) that could be used as neuroprotective agents, and a technique of using carbon nanotubes as transistors that could be used in nanoelectric devices.
