NSF Grant will Provide Funding for Students
AAMU Physics Secures $1.2 Million NSF Grant
Dr. Rami Bommareddy (PI) and his team of Co-PIs: Padmaja Guggilla, Ashok Batra, Matthew Edwards, and Vernessa Edwards, have secured a prestigious NSF: CREST HBCU-RISE grant for an impressive sum of 1.2 million dollars for three years.
The National Science Foundation’s Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology HBCU Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (NSF:CREST HBCU-RISE) supports the expansion of research capabilities at minority-serving institutions, particularly historically Black colleges and universities through the establishment of centers that integrate education and research to successfully train doctoral students.
“This is a clear reflection of the exceptional quality of research being conducted right here within the hallowed halls of the Physics Department at AAMU,” said Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics Department Chair, Dr. Padmaja Guggilla. “This grant promises to make significant strides in the field of ceramics and nanostructures, paving the way for specialized applications with far-reaching implications that can impact industries ranging from electronics to energy. This project provides funding for three doctoral students and six undergraduate students.”
