A collection of new grant awards were made to faculty in the Department of Mathematics in the second half of 2012, further supporting our efforts in both research and training.
New Research Grants:
- Roberto Camassa, together with Richard McLaughlin, Brian White and Leandra Vicci, was awarded a National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation grant on “Development of Pneumatic Water Wave Genesis, a versatile wavemaker for the UNC Joint Fluids Lab.”
- Jingfang Huang, together with our former colleague Michael Minion, was awarded a National Science Foundation grant on “Space-time Parallelization of Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations.”
- Peter Mucha was awarded a James S. McDonnell Foundation Scholar Award in Complex Systems on “Community Detection in Networks Across Time.”
New Training Grant:
- Shrawan Kumar led the effort to obtain a new Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need grant from the U.S. Department of Education, “Increasing the Participation of U.S. Citizens, Women and Minorities in Mathematics Doctoral Programs,” which provides for fellowships to graduate students in the Department of Mathematics.
The above only represents newly-awarded grants. Previous stories about grants describe some other recently-obtained awards, most of which support activities across multiple years, while a number of even older grants continue to support research and training activities in the Department.
Congratulations to all involved in these new grant awards.
