Based on their academic record and research achievements in my lab,
my students have received funding:

• Four undergraduate research mentees have been awarded
prestigious national scholarships, namely,
- NSF Graduate Fellowship
  Matt Beeler 2003
- Mercury-Seven Astronaut Scholarship
  Megan Marshall 2010 (co-advised with Prof. Stephen Alexander)
  Richard Wagner 2008
  Laura Feeney 2001

• Several of my undergraduate students have been awarded
Dean's Scholar and many have been awarded
Undergraduate Summer Scholarships and
Undergraduate Research Awards by Miami University.

• Several of my MS graduate students have been awarded
DAMOP travel grants, and have been supported
during summer by the PRF award, and during the
academic year (as Research Assistants) by ARO and the CFR awards.
