Two Professors Receive National Science Foundation Grants to Enhance Research
The National Science Foundation has awarded six grants totaling about $7.5 million to digitize biodiversity collections, a nationwide effort coordinated by the iDigBio program based at the University of Florida. Georgia Southern University Biology Professor Alan Harvey, Ph.D., will receive a portion of the grant to participate in Collaborative Research: “The Key to the Cabinets: Building and Sustaining a Research Database for a Global Biodiversity Hotspot.” To learn more about Harvey's research project, visit the National Science Foundation website.
In addition, the National Science Foundation has also awarded a three-year $228,799 grant to Danda Rawat, Ph.D., assistant professor of Electrical Engineering, to support his research titled: “Real-time Opportunistic spectrum Access in cloud-based cognitive Radio networks (ROAR).” Rawat will develop a testbed to design and evaluate projects, then use the cloud to address the challenges of providing wireless spectrum access over large geographic areas.
