REU Site: Multifunctional Nanomaterials Michelle Richards-Babb, West Virginia University Research Corporation, DMR Intellectual Merits: Goals Research on…..  Integration of novel biological and solid state devices  Optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of single and arrays of proteins, new solid state materials and devices  Biomolecular sensors (hybrid sensing devices) with potential applications in biometrics and health care  Energy conversion materials Intellectual Merits: Results 2010  Designed and tested novel resonant magnetic sputtering technique (D. Hudson Smith, Erskine College; Advisor: S. Urazhdin, Physics)  Mapped morphological and mechanical properties of biological surfaces (Kaitlin Hensal, St. Francis U.; Advisor: J. Legleiter, Chemistry) [a]  Development of polymer-based photonic crystal biosensor (Caroline Kilemi, Coppin State U.; Advisor: Jeremy Dawson, Elect. Eng.) [b] Notable Developments  Synthesis of water soluble superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Thomas Wood, WV Wesleyan College; R.L. Carroll, Chemistry)- biocompatible and potentially useful in biomedical applications (cancer treatment, targeted drug delivery, enhanced MRI imaging) [c] [a] Formation of Huntingtin protein fibrils and oligomers ; thought to be responsible for onset of disease [b] Polymer based photonic crystal surface for improved detection of low concentrations of biological markers in lab-on-a-chip applications

REU Site: Multifunctional Nanomaterials Michelle Richards-Babb, West Virginia University Research Corporation, DMR Broader Impacts: Goals  Increase retention of underrepresented minorities and women in STEM majors  Increase number of students that pursue post- grad STEM degrees and improve STEM workforce  Focus on four-year colleges from Appalachian region (students that might normally not consider attending graduate school) Broader Impacts: Results 2010  For ten REU positions, 150 applications were received  2010 REU participants included 6 women (60%) and five minority (4 African American and 1 Hispanic) (50%) students.  Six of REU participants have applied to or have been accepted to graduate school. Five of 12 are current seniors. Notable Developments  Scientific career mentoring speakers provide: networking opportunities and role models  Culminating scientific poster symposium: is coordinated with three other summer UG research programs; allows participants to showcase their communication and research skills; and provides REU participants with an experience analogous to a scientific conference; 81 participants in WVNano REU Participant, Autumn Bullard, Elect. Eng. Major from Norfolk State University (right) showing graduate student mentor Christian White her microchip electrophoresis setup. Autumn received best poster award at culminating symposium 2010 WVNano REU Participant, Dominic Gutierrez, Mech. Eng. Major from American River College discussing his research with Dr. Larry Hornak (WVU CSEE faculty) during the poster symposium. Visiting speaker, Dr. Ron Clawson, from Alliant Techsystems and Dr. Mark Hoover from NIOSH during the career mentoring seminar for STEM undergraduates.
