NSF planning grant: $50,000 Laboratory Innovation Initiative grant through Hobart & William Smith Colleges.
NSF undergraduate instrumentation grant (Co-principal author): resulted in obtaining a $50,000 FTIR.
Ph.D. research: modeling of lattice events, with applications in polymer science, chemisorption, corrosion, x-ray damage of crystals, and catalytic processes, was accomplished. Eight publications in major journals resulted from this work. During this time I also used x-ray diffraction to determine the structure of crystalline phenazene trinitrobenzene.
