Five Auburn University faculty members have been awarded research
support from the Department of Defense and National Science Foundation
totaling more than $1.2 million.
The awards went to Ralph Zee and William Gale of the Department of Mechanical Engineering;
Richard Chapman, Computer Science and Engineering; Sabit Adanur, Department
of Textile Engineering; and Russell Meller, Department of Industrial and
Systems Engineering.
All awards are through the Experimental Program to Stimulate
Research programs within each agency.
Zee received a $330,000 grant through the Department of
Defense EPSCoR, which supports academic research with potential defense
applications. The award will be spread out over a three-year period to fund his research.
Chapman, Adanur, Meller and Gale are recipients of CAREER
awards through the state and National Science Foundation's EPSCoR. Through
its CAREER awards program, the NSF provides funds to support research
of junior faculty within the overall context of their career development.
Chapman's proposal, "Tools for High Level Synthesis and
Hardware-Software Design," received a $297,000
award; Adanur's proposal, "Fast Net Shape Manufacture of Polymer
Composite Structure," received a $210,000
award. A $205,000 award went to Meller's proposal titled, "Internal Production
Systems Operations and Facility Layout Decisions;" and Gale received
a $200,000 award for his proposal, "Joining of Intermetallic Compounds."
