Projects funded this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Training Students in Turbulence Measurement with Laser Doppler Velocimetry<\/strong>: $197,406<\/strong> to acquire a Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) System to educate students in the measurement of fluid turbulence properties. The equipment will provide hands-on investigative learning and complement challenging theoretical concepts that have widespread engineering applications. It will benefit about 125 students each year, providing skills that will make them more competitive in the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Principal Investigators:<\/strong> Jason M. Dahl, (Primary PI) Department of Ocean Engineering; M. Reza Hashemi, Department of Ocean Engineering\/Graduate School of Oceanography; Joseph Goodwill, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM): Harnessing High-Precision Single-Cell Technology:<\/strong> $179,500 <\/strong>to acquire this highly sophisticated technology for students enrolled in pharmacy, biological sciences, neuroscience, engineering, and bioinformatics to gain conceptual, practical, and analytical training. They will study cell arrangements in tissues, cell structures, and complex biological communities by isolating individual cells or cell structures from a sample with ultimate precision, and then examine the genetic blueprint of only <\/em>these collected cells. <\/em><\/strong>This is technology in which students need to be fluent to enter today\u2019s biomedical workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Principal Investigators:<\/strong> Jaime Marie Ross (Primary PI), Dept. of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences\/George and Anne Ryan Institute for Neuroscience (Ryan Institute); Giuseppe Coppotelli (Primary PI), Dept. of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences\/Ryan Institute; Jodi Camberg, Dept. of Cell and Molecular Biology; Chris Hemme, RI-INBRE Bioinformatics Core; Chris Lane, Coastal Institute\/Dept. of Biological Sciences; Marin Manuel, Dept. of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences; Jyothi Menon, Dept. of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences\/Dept. of Chemical Engineering; Katharina Quinlan, Dept. of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences\/Ryan Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Theatrical and Live-Entertainment Technologies: LED Ellipsoidals and Moving Lights<\/strong>: <\/strong>$186,800<\/strong> to bring cutting-edge lighting technologies and production experiences, updating and enhancing our degree programs with current core competencies within the industry. 溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre educates more than 675 students per year via direct, hands-on experiences in all aspects of live theatre production, and produces four mainstage and several smaller productions that attract thousands of community members each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Principal Investigators:<\/strong> James Horban (Primary PI), Theatre Department; David Howard, Theatre Department; Jake Hegnauer, Theatre Department; Max Ponticelli, Theatre Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KINGSTON, R.I., \u2014 January 27, 2022 \u2014 The Champlin Foundation has awarded $563,706 to the 溏心vlog免费B站 for advanced technologies that will enhance learning for students in a variety of disciplines.
