Kasun Gunasooriya, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the University of Oklahoma School of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering, has received a Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement award from the Oak Ridge Associated Universities. He was selected for his research on converting nitrate captured during the water purification process into ammonia, reducing water pollutants while generating an important fertilizer for global agriculture.
Bin Wang, a professor in the School of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, has received a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
A breakthrough study of freshwater harmful algal communities led by Dave Hambright, a Regents’ Professor of Biology, has discovered that complementary genes in bacteria and algae living in the same algal colonies coordinate the use and movement of nutrients within the colony. This research, funded by the National Science Foundation, has been published in the journal Microbiome.
Michael Kaspari, a professor of biology in the University of Oklahoma School of Biological Sciences, has published research in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution that highlights nutrient dilution in plants and its cascading impact on the animals and insects that eat this less nutritious food.
Are you ready to take the next step with your research and technology? Have a big question to answer? Need to generate key data or build a prototype? The Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) has up to $75,000 per project available to help move your technology closer to market. The Growth Fund is a translational research fund intended to mature OU intellectual property to a higher technology readiness level and de-risk the technology for future licensees or startup company formation. This process will help you and your team gain valuable insight as to where the technology fits within the marketplace.
Kash Barker, a professor in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, has received funding through the Department of Defense’s Minerva Research Initiative to examine socio-economic vulnerability to climate change.
Wei Qin, an assistant professor of microbiology at the University of Oklahoma, will study marine microbial ecology in the North Pacific thanks to a combined $3.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation and the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System.
The aging aviation fleet increases the urgency for efficient aircraft sustainment, a complex process. One OU Engineering professor is leading a new project funded by a $250,000 grant from The Knudsen Institute. The research is vital for aerospace and defense and supports Oklahoma's economic diversification into aerospace and related fields.
