Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Researcher and Professor Elected to the European Academy of Sciences
One of Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University’s most prolific and renowned researchers has been elected to the European Academy of Sciences. Quan Li, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow in Á½ÐÔÉ«Îçҹ’s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, joins the prestigious Brussels-based organization that has about 660 members from 45 nations, including 65 Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winners.
Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Geographer Describes Novel Weather-Typing Model in New Paper
Research into the air masses that drive changes in our day-to-day weather has been limited by land-based and regional studies, leaving wide gaps in our understanding of these impactful phenomena. A new paper by a Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University geographer has just filled in most of those gaps.
NSF Award Helps Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Anthropologists Expand International Partnership
The (NSF) recently awarded Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ a three-year, $298,000 International Research Experience for Students (IRES) grant that will allow graduate students to travel to in Japan to study primates and human evolution at the world-renowned .
Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Magazine: Brainstorming
Cross-departmental collaborations are what Michael Lehman, the inaugural director of Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University’s Brain Health Research Institute, envisions for the future. His goal is to unite researchers from a wide range of disciplines at Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ and throughout Northeast Ohio to explore, expand and advance our knowledge of the human brain and how it functions.
Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Professor Weighs in on New Research Regarding Burnout
Researchers from the University of Washington and Washington University, along with other collaborators, are seeking answers to those questions. They studied the brains of mice to identify what causes them to stop seeking a reward — in essence, what makes them burn out.
New Methodologies Developed in Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Geology Professor's Lab Improve Monitoring of Lakes and Oceans
After years of remote sensing work, Joseph Ortiz, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Geology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University, and his research team recently shared their development of new cost-efficient methodologies that may lead to much safer drinking water for people in Ohio and other municipalities affected by harmful algal blooms (HAB).
NIH Funds Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Psychologist’s Project to Teach Children Food Allergy Safety Skills
A Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University researcher with a background in safety training models — and a very personal motivation — has devised a method to help some children with food allergies stay safe, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) just granted him the funding to test it.
NSF Awards Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Researchers $1.3 Million to Nourish Children’s Minds, Fill Their Bellies
Science is complex, and it’s difficult to discuss it with children under the best circumstances; it’s even more difficult when they are hungry. Two Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University researchers may have cooked up a way to solve both of those problems, and the National Science Foundation just awarded them a three-year, $1.3 million grant to determine if their recipe works.
NSF Awards Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Researcher Nearly $1 Million for Separate Liquid Crystal Studies
Trustees Research Professor Oleg Lavrentovich, Ph.D., a chemical physicist in Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University’s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI), just received nearly $1 million between two grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for separate studies with potential applications in biomedical science, commercial electronics and beyond.
Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ Biological Sciences Researchers to Lead Study on the Effects of the Spreading Eastern Red Cedars
The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year, $914,000 grant to Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University to lead a collaborative research project to study how and at what rate the geographically most widespread native conifer in the eastern United States, the Eastern Red Cedar tree species (Juniperus virginiana), spreads across the landscape.
