May Issue of The Arkansas Catalyst Highlights Campus Research

The May 2013 issue of The Arkansas Catalyst, an online monthly newsletter from the University of Arkansas’ office of research and economic development, features the university's recognition of campus faculty who hold patented inventions, highlights research and travel grants awarded to professors by the Southeastern Conference and the vice provost for research and economic development office, showcases a new device developed by engineering faculty that could prevent widespread power blackouts, and includes news about an NSF Early Career Award made to Gregory Dumond, an assistant professor of geosciences.

The newsletter highlights exciting research and economic development activities on the University of Arkansas campus. The office of research and economic development is working to enhance the university research enterprise, including multidisciplinary research. Future newsletters will also focus on six interdisciplinary research strengths at the U of A: health, energy and environment, nanoscience and engineering, supply chain logistics and transportation, food safety, and American art, architecture and the humanities.
