Faculty contributers:
Drena Dobbs, Genetics, Development, and Cell Biology
Dr. Dobbs joined Iowa State University in 1987 and is now Professor of Genetics, Development, and Cell Biology. Her research focuses on the structure, function and dynamics of macromolecules, with an emphasis on regulatory protein-RNA interactions in disease. She will share some of her experiences with NSF broader impact activities gained through her roles as PI/Director of ISU's NSF IGERT Training Program in Computational Molecular Biology and as co-PI for ISU's NSF GK12 Training Program in Growing the Green Collar Workforce for the 21st Century. http://www.gdcb.iastate.edu/faculty_and_...obbs.shtml
Jim McCalley, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Dr. McCalley is a Harpole Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he has been employed since 1992. He is a registered professional engineer in California and a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). His research includes electric power system operation, risk-based decision and control, power system dynamics, long-term energy system planning, and wind energy integration. In his 20-year academic career, he has served as PI or co-PI on 14 NSF projects, providing a good experience base in developing effective broader impacts for NSF proposals and implementing them once funded. http://home.eng.iastate.edu/~jdm/index.htm
Basil Nikolau, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology
Dr. Nikolau is the Frances M. Craig Professor of Biochemistry at Iowa State University where he has taught and conducted research since 1988. Research in the Nikolau Group is focused on the comprehensive understanding of metabolism. The group is particularly focused on the discovery and characterization of novel metabolic processes, and the associated biocatalysts, utilizing expanding genomics resources as the starting point for these endeavors. Among his broader impact activities, Dr. Nikolau partners with the NSF Engineering Research Center for Biorenewable Chemicals (CBiRC) to offer a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program and the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program. http://www.public.iastate.edu/~nikolau/index.shtml
