Seed Grants 2003
In the spring of 2003 ISSO received eight proposals from UHCL faculty for
research to be conducted between May and August, 2003. ISSO allocated a total of
$47,000 for five mini-grants. The majority of the funds support faculty and
graduate research. The investigators and projects are:
- An Automated Hybridization of Machine Learners for Recursive Spot
Identification, Optimization, and Gel Matching of 2-Dimensional Gel
Electrophoresis
- Dr. Gary Boetticher, Computer Science/Computer Engineering
- Optimization of Genetically Engineerable Programs (GEEP) for Improved Data
Understanding
- Dr. Gary Boetticher, Computer Science/Computer Engineering
- Model-Based Control of Piezoelectric Ultrasound Motor for Space Robotics
- Dr. James Dabney (2nd year), Computing and Mathematics
- Synthesis of Fire-Safe Framework Polymers for Aerospace Applications
- Dr. Jack Y. Lu (2nd year), Chemistry
- A Framework for Collaborative Open Source Courseware Development
- Dr. Kwok-Bun Yue, Computing and Mathematics
Each investigator commits to submitting one or more proposals to an external
funding agency and to publishing the results of the seed-grant study. The
investigator also provides a report on the research to ISSO for inclusion in a
report to the State of Texas.
