I did this introduction and interview with Prof. Ching W. Tang as part of the 2019 Kyoto Prize Symposium at UC San Diego, delayed until 2021 because of COVID-19. It was a real honor to chat with him about industrial research, the invention of the OLED, science in an international context, and advice for rising scientists.

#87 – Federal research funding: How $10 million becomes $100 million 13:06

1 day тому13:06

13:06

There is a lot of incorrect information out there on the role of research funding in the economy. Does it waste money or create it? Here, I use some data and back-of-the-envelope projections from my own lab at UC San Diego and University of Rochester to argue that a $10M investment in the form of grants & contracts will generate many hundreds of millions in combined earnings of trainees in the private sector and commensurately pay back the American taxpayer many times over.…

This is a reading of Chapter 1, second half, on the connection between Nanoengineering and all the other fields of engineering: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and bioengineering. Footnotes, figures, and problems for this chapter can be obtained from my book, Introduction to Nanoengineering, which I coauthored with Robert S. Ramji. If you'd like access to these resources, consider buying it or asking your institutional library to buy it! https://a.co/d/5SxYBVm…

#78 - How a University is Financed: Research, Grants, Endowment, Salary, Tuition, Overhead 50:05

41 weeks тому50:05

50:05

This is a talk I felt compelled to give after the grad student / postdoc strike in the University of California in the fall of 2022. There was so much I didn't understand about university finance. In an effort to learn more, I decided to put together this talk and share it as a professional development seminar to PhD students, postdocs, and faculty at UC San Diego (UCSD). Halfway through preparing this talk, I came across a WONDERFUL book by Andrew Comrie, Like Nobody's Business: An Insider's Guide to How US University Finances Really Work, which provided me with the viewgraphs compiled from his own extensive research from publicly available information. (A monumental undertaking on his part!) His book is available free of charge as an open access book on www.openbookpublishers.com. Please check it out! Cheers, Darren Correction: when speaking, I accidentally put Worcester Polytechnic into the "public R2" category. I misspoke, it is a "private R2." Thanks!…
