Grants

These grants cover everything from artificial intelligence to pavement cracking on highways 

The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.27 million grant to civil engineering Professor Fillia Makedon and Associate Professor Vassilis Athitsos to use artificial intelligence to help experts assess learning difficulties in children very early in their lives.

Hao Che, computer science and engineering associate professor, earned a three-year, $799,950 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a model that will make it possible for service providers to guarantee service-level objectives without unneeded resources.

TxDOT awarded a $1.2 million contract to civil engineering Professor Sahadat Hossain to devise a system that would reduce pavement cracking and slope stabilization on state highways.

Civil engineering Assistant Professor Xinbao Yu is lead investigator on a two-year, $743,000 grant from TxDOT to test concepts he and his team developed that use geothermal energy to make Texas bridges and overpasses safer during winter weather.

The National Institutes of Health awarded bioengineering Associate Professor Young-Tae Kim and Professor Khosrow Behbehani a $440,670 grant to develop a new method and device for controlling blood pressure levels in cardiac care environments that use targeted electrical stimulation rather than drugs.

Junha Jeon, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, received a three-year, $424,720 grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to develop new methods to synthesize groups of chemical compounds for future use in medical drug discovery and development.
