Within my first year on the tenure-track at a small, liberal-arts focused public university, I managed to land a 3-year, $300k National Science Foundation grant. I also got an article in press and made the papers in Lynchburg, Richmond, and Farmville. Not bad for my first year on the job.
My former research advisor told me [...]
I attended two workshops today on funding: the first for the National Science Foundation and the second for the private Research Corporation. Just these two workshops were worth the price of admission for this conference.
The first 15 minutes of the NSF workshop was boring organizational charts outlining deadlines and other stuff that I know from [...]
I have arrived in Maryland for the American Association of Physics Teachers New Faculty workshop. I have a lot to learn this weekend, and I will try to keep you posted on what juicy bits I come across.
In about an hour I’ll be attending a Grant Opportunities workshop with the National Science Foundation and I [...]

Our PR people here at Longwood are pretty good. A few days ago, I mentioned the short blurb about our NSF grant in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. On Monday, the Lynchburg News & Advance listed me among the “Movers and Shakers” in the central Virginia area.
My colleagues will probably not be too happy about their names [...]

It appears that the press release issued by Longwood concerning the grant I was recently awarded was picked up by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Farmville A Longwood University physics professor and two colleagues from Virginia Commonwealth University recently received a National Science Foundation grant for a research project that could help improve technology for high-density optical discs [...]
A proposal that a few colleagues and I submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF) has been recommended for funding by the Division of Materials Research. One of the PIs on the grant is my former dissertation adviser and some of the proposed work involves using a novel combination of techniques that I developed in [...]
