青年涩导航 Geography Professors to Assess Relative Extreme Temperature Events and Develop Monitoring Tools With NOAA
Principal Investigator Cameron C. Lee, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Geography (within the College of Arts and Sciences) at 青年涩导航, was recently awarded a three-year, $387,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Program Office and its Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections Program (MAPP). The project is titled 鈥淓xcess Heat and Excess Cold Factors: Establishing a unified duration-intensity metric for monitoring hazardous temperature conditions in North America鈥.
Biology Graduate Joins Exclusive Group by Earning Doctorate at 25
When she receives her doctorate degree in cellular biology on May 14, Amber Rose Titus will enter an exclusive group: She will become one of just seven 青年涩导航 graduates to earn her doctorate at the age of 25 or younger.
Students Across Disciplines Innovate in the 2022 Biodesign Challenge
Two significant environmental issues our nation faces today include invasive plant species and a lack of sustainable materials. Invasive plant species are detrimental to host environments for multiple reasons. 青年涩导航 students are working to turn invasive plant species into a sustainable material that can help protect the environment through the 2022 Biodesign Challenge, a course and national competition to create sustainable solutions to real world problems.
青年涩导航 at East Liverpool Researcher Receives NIH Chemistry Research Grant
Farid Fouad, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at 青年涩导航 East Liverpool, was awarded a three-year, $74,954 research grant as part of a subaward on a larger grant that his collaborators at Cleveland State University received.
NSF Awards Grant to 青年涩导航 Assistant Professor for Precision Dosing in Critical Care
Each year, more than 30 million patients receive fluid resuscitation therapies for critical care scenarios like hemorrhaging, sepsis and burns. Underdosing resuscitation strategies are inefficient at saving lives, while overdosing regimens may lead to resuscitation injuries and hypothermia. Hossein Mirinejad, assistant professor in the College of Aeronautics and Engineering, is hoping to help find the solution to dosing problems.
Graduate Student Perseverance Leads to Published Research on Stress Related to May 4, 1970 Anniversary
How long does a single traumatic event affect a person鈥檚 mental health? 青年涩导航 graduate student Emily Rabinowitz鈥檚 research on this topic was recently published in the peer-reviewed Stress & Health: Journal of the International Society for the Investigation of Stress. Her paper 鈥淭he 50th Anniversary of May 4, 1970, Is Associated With Elevations of Distress but No Increase in Mental Health Symptoms鈥 was published in the November 2021 issue.
NSF Grant Leads to Modeling Novel Serial Robot Dynamics and Prototypes
The National Science Foundation recently awarded a two-year $198,978 grant to Tao Shen, assistant professor in the College of Aeronautics & Engineering, for the development of a compact, cable-driven serial robot that can be used in medical settings. Shen aims to build a robot with his students that will address the critical limitations that most current medical robots have.

Improving Police Training Through Stress Studies
青年涩导航 Professor Will Kalkhoff is studying the brain waves and heart rates of police officers during training exercises to help to improve police performance and increase safety. See the research in action.
Chirality Research: Will This New Insight Help Make Better Materials or Pharmaceuticals?
Chirality, or the absence of mirror symmetry in a molecule, is a complex topic that Material Sciences Professor Torsten Hegmann is determined to know more about. Hegmann, director of the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, and other 青年涩导航 collaborators led an international collaborative research project with contributions from a global team whose paper about the efficacy of chirality transfer in Science Advances may provide insights to make better materials or pharmaceuticals.
