Congratulations to Mojdeh Rasoulzadeh on being named a 2026 Alabama Water Institute (AWI) Faculty Fellow under the Community Oriented Nature-based Science for Ecosystem Restoration and Versatile Engineering (CONSERVE) research group! This prestigious three-year fellowship, running from August 16, 2026, through August 15, 2029, provides an exciting opportunity to collaborate with the CONSERVE team, contribute to ongoing research initiatives, and help shape future projects. We look forward to seeing Mojdeh’s leadership and contributions advance the mission and vision of AWI and CONSERVE across campus and regional and national platforms. […]

Congratulations to Dr. Jia Zhao, assistant professor of mathematics, who will serve as a co-principal investigator (Co-PI) on a three-year, $525,021 research grant from the National Science Foundation (awarded through the Division of Mathematical Sciences). The project is titled “FDT-BioTech: Biosignals Fusion-Informed Neuromusculoskeletal Reconstruction in Immersive Digital Twin for Personalized Stroke Gait Rehabilitation Using Lower-Limb Exoskeletons.” The interdisciplinary project is led by Dr. Qiang Zhang as PI, with Drs. Fei Hu, Jia Zhao, and Mizanur Rahman serving as Co-PIs. The […]

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Perlman, who has been awarded a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation’s Algebra and Number Theory Program within the Division of Mathematical Sciences, in support of his project, “Group Actions and Hodge Theory in Commutative Algebra.” The project sits at the confluence of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and representation theory, and investigates the singularities of algebraic varieties possessing rich group symmetry, such as toric varieties, Schubert varieties, and orbit closures of reductive groups. Drawing on […]

Congratulations to Dr. Prashanth Sridhar on being awarded a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation for his project, Novel Homological Structures in Commutative Algebra and Their Applications. This award recognizes the significance of Dr. Sridhar’s research and will support innovative work exploring new homological structures in commutative algebra and their applications. We congratulate Dr. Sridhar on this outstanding achievement and wish him continued success in advancing mathematical research. Abstract Below: The proposal is in the field of commutative algebra and […]
