/ 4 minutes of reading

Once upon a time, Omolola Eniola-Adefeso ’99, chemical engineering, was on track to attend medical school. But she became a chemical engineer instead – so she could better attack problems such as her number one target: heart disease. Eniola-Adefeso, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Michigan, investigates radical ways of delivering medicine that could prove efficient and effective than current practice. And she may succeed because she is thinks like an engineer – and not a doctor. Eniola-Adefeso came to Maryland from her native Nigeria the age of 16. She began her studies at Catonsville Community… Continue Reading Highways to Healing – Omolola Eniola-Adefeso '99, ChemEng

UMBC’s Jianwu Wang receives NSF CAREER Award to help climate scientists discover causal relationships from massive amounts of data

/ 3 minutes of reading

Jianwu Wang, assistant professor of information systems, is the most recent UMBC faculty member to receive a prestigious CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Wang’s NSF grant totals more than $500,000 over five years. It will support his work to develop more efficient and reproducible causality analytics for use in climate science. Cause and effect is a fundamental research question in many disciplines and there are some unique challenges in discovering cause-effect relationships from climate data. Wang explains that Earth changes so rapidly that climate scientists studying it must continuously capture a huge volume of data. For the… Continue Reading UMBC’s Jianwu Wang receives NSF CAREER Award to help climate scientists discover causal relationships from massive amounts of data
