Office of Research
Announcements in Tech Times
- Assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering Charles VanNeste recently received a patent for an omnidirectional sensing device that can help determine an object’s change in position, velocity or speed, which is important in fields ranging from robotics systems to electric vehicles. Other sensing devices are available in the market, but most require numerous sensing components and large amounts of energy. They are also expense, and few are omnidirectional. VanNeste also recently published a manuscript for this work, available online (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9827944), in the IEEE Sensors Journal. The Office of Sponsored Programs congratulates Assistant Professor VanNeste on this achievement. (Posted 7/18/2022)

Pre-proposals for NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) funding due Nov. 12 to Office of Research
research@tntech.edu | (931) 372-6587The National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation funding is a limited submission program that increases access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.
Tennessee Tech may submit or be included as a significantly funded subawardee in no more than three MRI proposals. Therefore, a pre‐proposal is required to be submitted by all interested faculty and an internal review conducted to determine which proposals will be submitted to NSF. The pre‐proposal must be submitted to the Office of Research on or before noon, Friday, November 12, as a single PDF document via the research@tntech.edu email account. For more information, visit our website at https://www.tntech.edu/research/pdf/aboutus/NSF_MRI_2021.pdf.

Meet and Greet to follow alum David Nicholas’s presentation Thurs, Apr. 29
sstorie@tntech.edu | (931) 372-6756
A meet-and-greet session for faculty will follow Tech alum David Nicholas’s presentation this Thursday, April 29. The presentation will be at 11 a.m. in Room 113 of the Stonecipher Lecture Hall (SLH), and the meet-and-greet will be from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Laboratory Science Commons Building, Room 3331. The Office of Research and Economic Development and the Chemical Engineering Department are hosting the event. Nicholas, CEO of Earth Science Laboratories in Rogers, Arkansas, will be discussing ESL’s research and development ventures. ESL has found that a unique chemical composition accounted for many distinctive features of its products and is now the basis of the company’s rapidly growing technology platform. ESL is exploring opportunities for collaborative research as the company sees many opportunities for the chemistry that are outside its founding expertise in water treatment. For more information, contact Sandy Storie (sstorie@tntech.edu or 931-372-6756).
Post Date 4/27/2021 (Ran in faculty edition only because the meet and greet was just for faculty; that date was a Tuesday, so it probably won’t go out until Wednesday, which is the next email edition)

Many of the posters from the event are available for viewing by the campus community for the remainder of the spring semester.
The Proceedings of Student Research and Creative Inquiry Day, an online journal for those who agreed to their abstract and poster/paper being published, will be compiled in the coming weeks. When it is ready, the link to the journal will be available on the event website.

Nicholas will be discussing ESL’s research and development ventures. ESL has found that a unique chemical composition accounted for many distinctive features of its products and is now the basis of the company’s rapidly growing technology platform. The primary acid comprising the company’s chemical composition is a polymeric arrangement of ammonium bisulfate, or PABS. The PABS has multiple unique characteristics that provide for specific benefits in water treatment, agriculture, metal plating, battery electrolytes, pharmaceuticals, and more. ESL is exploring opportunities for collaborative research as the company sees many opportunities for the chemistry that are outside its founding expertise in water treatment.

Just as the entire campus was adapting to conditions surrounding COVID-19, the 2020 Research and Creative Inquiry Day event was modified from its usual in-person format to a digital one this year. The digital format allowed students to still be able to showcase their research by submitting a digital poster or paper that was judged online. Of the 222 abstracts originally received, 184 digital posters/papers were submitted for judging. Also special this year were three creative media inquiry projects developed in the Social Problems (SOC 1650) class taught by Dr. Ada Haynes, Professor of Sociology, during the Fall 2019 semester. The videos from those projects can be found on the event web page. The Office of Research congratulates the winners and sincerely thanks everyone who contributed to making this event so successful despite the unusual circumstances.
