Bi-weekly meetings with the VCR to provide training and updates followed by open conversation related to campus research operations
This month’s event featured a poster competition from the Chancellor’s Distinguished Fellowship (CDF) recipients. CDF recipients are required to make a poster presentation every year, and, because of the pandemic, we decided that the best way to get visibility would be for the students to present at “Let’s Talk Research."
The students posters are linked below.
1. Christopher Hogan, PhD Mathematics and Statistics
"Green’s Function Methods and the Nonhomogeneous Wave Equation"
2. Nicole Moon, PhD Chemistry
Construction and Demonstration of a Microwave Three-Wave Mixing Spectrometer at
3. Alexander Douglas, PhD Mining Engineering
"Big Data: Innovation in Haul Road Maintenance"
4. Samuel Vanfossan
Disaster Recovery Strategy Generations via Multi-Objective Heuristic Optimizatio
5. Daniel Bowerman, PhD Mathematics
"Nonstandard Methods Applied to the AIM Conjecture"
6. Cesar Ortiz Rios, PhD Materials Science and Engineering
"Nonstandard Methods Applied to the AIM Conjecture"
7. John Tubbesing, PhD Chemistry
"Chiral Crystallization and Epitaxial Materials"

Feautured presentations from two of the Research Constellations that resulted from our Research Roadmap effort:
* MATERIALS RESEARCH, described as "Materials research is a key area for future growth due to its multidisciplinary and cross-cutting nature. New opportunities constantly emerge for materials research based on the constant push for increased efficiency, longer operating life, higher operating temperatures, and new technologies, all of which require new and improved materials. Materials research also addresses a number of grand challenges such as those defined by the National Academy of Engineering or similar forward-looking groups, which requires large multidisciplinary teams. Strategies suggested for growth of materials research are 1) Continue to aggressively pursue single-investigator grants; 2) Align priority areas with Kummer Institute; 3) Explore emerging areas; 4) Utilize National user facilities; 5) Establish new consortia; 6) Increase external collaborations and 7) Pursue large grant grant opportunities.”
and
* DATA SCIENCE. The vision of the data science research constellation is to create an interconnected network of researchers engaged in both foundational and applied areas of data science and to promote innovative research that transcend disciplinary boundaries, thereby creating an agile community of Missouri S&T researchers enabled to successfully respond to opportunities and challenges not only in the data science arena, but also in scientific, engineering, and business endeavors that benefit from it.
Feautured presentations from two of the Research Constellations that resulted from our Research Roadmap effort:
* BIO-X, which describes its vision as "The BIO-X research constellation aims at serving as an academic platform for the entire Missouri S&T community to facilitate interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research in life sciences. The constituents include engineering, natural science, humanities, and social sciences. Translation of basic research outcomes to innovation and entrepreneurship is the essence of this constellation."
and
* ReNEWS, Resources: Natural, Energy, Water, for Society. The ReNEWS research constellation will focus on the exploration, extraction, and management of the following natural resources: water, oil & gas, minerals, geothermal and other renewable energy, and space resources (minerals and volatiles) in asteroids, the Moon, and other space objects. In addition to traditional key natural resources such as water and fossil fuels, this constellation includes some emerging areas addressing future national needs for our society with numerous funding opportunities, including critical minerals, space resources, geothermal energy, and application of artificial intelligence in various fields.
