Role:

My role in this project is that of Principal Investigator (100%)

Description:

The Center for Scientific Computing (CSC) at Ohio University will design, develop, and deploy a customized, fully-automated sequencing and analysis pipeline for the Ilumina sequencing machine. The software will be deployed at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC)

Role:

My role in this project is that of Co-Principal Investigator (25%) with Dr. Lonnie Welch as Principal Investigator and Dr. Sarah Wyatt as Co-Principal Investigator.

Description:

This proposal led by Ohio University and powered by the resources of the Ohio Supercomputer Center and the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science is aimed at positioning the state as a national leader in the emerging field of bioinformatics. The Ohio Consortium for Bioinformatics will receive $4.475 million from the Ohio Board of Regents for student scholarships.

Role:

My role in this project is that of Co-Lead Investigator in Cybertronics  (with Dr. Matolak; Dr. Jim Zhu is the Principal Investigator).  My responsibility was the development of a concept for a Quality-of-Service-based on-board resource management architecture that enables the ART to operate autonomously in highly dynamic and unpredictable environments. 

Description:

The Campus Challenge problem solving competition is an effort sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Munitions Directorate.  The purpose of the competition is to “solicit innovative, potentially paradigm-shifting ideas that have the potential, upon maturity, to successfully address specific real-world problems of interest to the Air Force research community”. The ultimate goal is to devise an “efficient, transformable, unmanned Aerial Robotic Transformer (ART) that is both air and ground mobile”.  This competition is divided into four phases: Letters of Intent, White Papers, Proposal Submissions and Campus Challenge Winner Selection.  After proceeding to phase 2, we were singled out and awarded this grant to create a Development Plan describing how the Air Force could most efficiently realize the ideas presented in our white paper. 

Role:

My role in this project is that of an NSF Subcontractor (Dr. Steven Gordon, Ohio Supercomputing Center is the Principal Investigator of the NSF grant through which the subcontract was awarded).

Description:

The contract provided support for one month during Summer 2008 for the development of an online “Parallel Computing” course offered through the Ralph Regula School of Computational Sciences. A number of developed modules were integrated into CS 412/512 “Parallel Computing I” (see Part II – Section B).

Role:

My role in this project is that of an Co-Principal Investigator  with Dr. Lonnie R. Welch, Dr. David Juedes, Dr. Allan Showalter, Dr. Ahmed Faik, Dr. Sarah Wyatt (Department of Environmental and Plant Biology), Dr. John Kopchik, David Wight (Edison Biotechnology Institute),  and Dr. Winfried Just (Department of Mathematics). My responsibilities included the supervision and mentoring of the graduate students hired under this grant.  

Description:

This proposal seeks support for a collaborative effort between The Department of Environmental and Plant Biology, Edison Biotechnology Institute, The Department of Chemical Engineering, and The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This grant provided funding for 3 graduate students for the development of bioinformatics software tools.
