Two bet8体育娱乐入口 researchers have received awards from a statewide competition focused on bringing useful and interesting research to market.
萨钦谢蒂, associate professor in the Virginia 建模, Analysis and Simulation Center, 和哈尼·艾尔赛义德·阿里, Batten Endowed Professor and Eminent Scholar in electrical and computer engineering, 被奖励100美元,000 apiece for their projects through the Commonwealth RESEARCH Commercialization Fund (CRCF).
The fund supports technology research and commercialization across the state in academia, private business and nonprofit research, according to the parent organization, the Center for Innovative 技术.
Each grant furthers research at ODU, and helps continue investigation and technical phases into the commercialization process.
网络安全项目, 以谢蒂为首, will take a cyber risk and mitigation tool, developed at the University to prevent cyber-attacks, and test it in the Sentara 健康care system.
"Most of the time this research is conducted in a lab," 谢蒂说,. "This gives us a chance to investigate it in real-world conditions."
It also allows students to experience how research is conducted in their field and to see its impacts, 谢蒂说,.
The project headed by Elsayed-Ali involves developing a transparent coating for solar panels that will allow them to be lighter in color and more adaptable, while still allowing for maximum capacity. The nanoparticles developed in the process will have other commercial uses.
还有埃尔赛义德-阿里, the co-principal investigator on the grant is Baja Ramjee, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry.
The project will also receive matching funds from Evergreen, allowing for more work.
The CRCF Matching Funds Program limits eligible institutions to four applications, so when ODU has more than four faculty members who are interested, the ODU director of research development, 杰基·斯坦, conducts a limited submissions competition to select the most competitive applications.
哈立德Abul-Hassan, director of innovations commercialization at ODU, has developed a unique internal screening process for the CRCF, one that aligns directly with the requirements of the award: Once selected as an applicant, an ODU faculty member works closely with Abul-Hassan to create a strong CRCF proposal with the capacity to accelerate innovation in Virginia's technology research and commercialization.
"支持 from the RESEARCH处 can help faculty members position themselves for funding success - while the ideas come from our faculty innovators, we can help with grant strategy and the application process,斯坦说.
