Professional Life CAREER OUTLOOK 2017 HBCU INNOVATION AWARD WINNERS S


cience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields have some of the top destination careers for people with master’s and doctoral degrees. The HBCU Innovation winners have master’s and doctoral degrees in the following fields:


BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES - ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY - EPIDEMIOLOGY


INFORMATION SYSTEMS & SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT - NANOENGINEERING NANOTECHNOLOGY - PHYSICS, APPLIED PHYSICS & MEDICAL PHYSICS


other factors relating to health. Nano catalysts, membranes, novel sensor materials, and biologically inspired materials developed under the leadership of Dr. Jagannathan “Jag“ Sankar are already playing a major role in energy, nanotechnology, and homeland security issues. Since 2003 Dr. Sankar has been recognized through special congressional appropriations at the Hill to establish


D


and continue nano-science- and technology-based centers dedicated to homeland security. He has led 30 MS and 12 Ph.D.s as advisor and a few as co-advisor and has mentored more than 40 Ph.D.s and facilitated advanced materials and nanotechnology for many undergraduates, K–12 students, and Guilford and other county school teachers. Dr. Rao M. Uppu’s research interests include analytical methods for biological reactive intermediates, biomarker


discovery and validation, cell signaling by “ozone-specific“ oxysterols, and biomedical applications of core/shell nano- particles. Dr. Uppu carried out his postdoc research in several NIH-funded projects in chemical carcinogenesis and oxidative chemistry/biology at the Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases and the Biodynamic Institute at LSU. Dr. Uppu has mentored numerous graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and has published over 65 articles in peer-reviewed journals. Since 2004 Dr. Guang-Lin Zhao Zhao has served as a proposal reviewer for the U.S. Civilian


Research and Development Foundation (CRDF), a public–private partnership that promotes scientific and technical collaboration through grants, technical resources, and training. CRDF Global was originally named the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union. Zhao has taught computational and experimental research since 1997. Dr. Venkataswarup Tiriveedhi is a cancer and immunology specialist and assistant professor of biological sciences. He and a group of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine at St. Louis have come up with an experimental vaccine for breast cancer that appears to be safe in preliminary trials. The new Innovators in STEM awards at the BEYA STEM Conference featured outstanding


nominees working in many different areas. The fields range from acoustics to zoology and include astronomy, biochemistry, biology, biomedical science, clinical science, genetics, nanotechnology, physics, and sports science. Past scientists of the year include John Brooks Slaughter, Ph.D., professor of education, USC


Rossier School of Education; Dr. Isaiah Blanskon, senior scientist at NASA Glenn Research Center; Abhijit Mahalanobis, a senior fellow at Lockheed Martin Corporation; and Dr. Victor R. McCrary, vice president for research and economic development at Morgan State University. S


r. Farin Kamangar is a professor at Morgan State University’s ASCEND Center for Biomedical Research. Kamangar has served as the Principal Investigator (PI) or co-PI of several epidemiological studies. Epidemiol- ogy is the branch of medicine that deals with the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases and
