 I. NAE-GRAND CHALLENGES SCHOLAR’S PROGRAM AT WRIGHT STATE

http://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/2018/12/11/grand-challenges/

http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/GrandChallengeScholarsProgram/15784/31117.aspx

The National Academy of Engineering – Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) envisions training future graduates to become visionary leaders who can address the global challenges of the 21st century.  This will be done by strengthening five competency areas in addition to classroom teaching: (i) research and creativity (ii) multidisciplinary thinking, (iii) viable business and entrepreneurship skills, (iv) multi-cultural understanding, and (v) social consciousness. Students who complete this program are individually certified by the National Academies, in addition to getting special accolades from their home institution, and are expected to be the most competitive cohort of professionals for the future global job market.  I have worked closely with the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for the last year to get the GCSP program at WSU approved by NAE in November, 2018.  Given the fiscal constraints within the university, this program was developed with minimal resources, by combining the existing strengths within different colleges in the university, and bridging them with shared infrastructure and expertise.  The goal for 2019 is to start with 12-15 students, then grow it further by involving 2-year feeder colleges as well as federal, industrial partners and non-profit foundations.

II. JEFFERSON SCIENCE FELLOW: NATIONAL ACADEMIES

Website:  http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/Jefferson/PGA_169847

This fellowship, offered by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, is designed to engage the academic communities in the formulation and implementation of U.S. foreign policy.  After a nationwide competition, this fellowship is offered to 10-15 tenured faculty members across the country. Therefore, receiving a Jefferson Science Fellowship (JSF) is considered a significant honor, both for the individual and for their academic institution.

My JSF assignment for the 2016-17 academic year was with the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs at the US Department of state, where I was able to leverage my expertise and network to create linkages between cutting-edge technical innovations and governmental entities focused on economic development. This included assisting the State Department in advancing US leadership role in the rapidly expanding area of nanotechnology, which impacts both emerging and traditional industrial sectors such as biotech and pharma, transportation, communication, infrastructure, energy, environment, and consumer products. I was involved in facilitating US engagement with international academics and governmental personnel to support high-tech innovation and entrepreneurship hubs within bilateral/multilateral regulatory framework. This included working with multiagency working groups within the US Government such as the NSET subcommittee of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), the Emerging Materials and Manufacturing Sciences (EMMS) working group of the India-US S&T Agreement, and the S&T Joint Committee of Korea-US (KORUS) agreement.

III. MEDIA COVERAGE

(The following is a small sample from widely acclaimed projects my group has conducted at WSU. Some of these have been highlighted in different languages across the world.)

General leadership profiles

Media releases related to research accomplishments (2010-onwards)

Earlier media releases related to superconductivity projects

IV. CENTER FOR NANOSCALE MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS (CENSMM)

Website: http://www.engineering.wright.edu/nanocenter/

I built this Center in 2008 as a charter from the then Provost, Vice President of Research, and the Dean of CECS at Wright State University (WSU).  It serves as a focal point for science and engineering research and education in the expanding field of nano-technology, and fosters multidisciplinary efforts of university faculty with industrial and federal researchers. Partnering institutions include several for-profit companies, Air Force Research Laboratory, the Environmental Protection Agency, and multiple universities with funded collaborative projects.
