Research Funding

Working data, building environments, conference travel and presentations, training students, supporting doctoral students, and engaging with coauthors all require some level of funding. I have been fortunate throughout my career to attract funding from a range of sources to support my research and engagement. Listed below are grants, contracts and even a few awards for work in which I've been engaged. Since 1995, I have been involved in projects that have brought in ~$15 million.
