Trey Clark By John Klyce - Reporter November 11, 2021, 02:37pm CST Updated 11/11/2021 5:09 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In August, when MBJ spoke to University of Memphis EVP of research and innovation Jasbir Dhaliwal about the institution eclipsing $50 million in research awards, he noted that faculty members were submitting proposals that were “ambitious in nature.” Noteworthy grants illustrate that the projects are not just ambitious, but varied. A recent one is congressionally funded — and centered around developing unmanned aerial systems (UAS). According to a press release, U of M electrical and computer engineering professor Eddie Jacobs will lead the "Multi-UAS Multi-Sensor Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance" project, which brings together researchers from U of M, University of Arizona, and the University of Central Florida. The grant is valued at $2.7 million, and the hope is to develop UASs for wide-area intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The group will focus on experimental research with UASs and multiple sensors to advance technologies and improve simulation fidelity, which is the level of realism portrayed in a simulated educational or training experience. This should help lead to a system that uses multiple UASs, with a variety of advanced sensors that detect and identify potential threats and items of interests. The system, sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, is expected to be enhanced by on-board AI and machine learning that processes sensor data into actionable information. It will also have an advanced mobile ad hoc network system that collects and disseminates data, and an advanced optical communication system for high-bandwidth data. The final product is expected to be harnessed in multiple ways, with security, agricultural, environmental, and military uses all on the table. As the director of the DRONES research cluster, and a senior researcher for drones and advanced sensors with the Center for Applied Earth Science and Engineering Research (CAESER), Jacobs isn’t a stranger to this type of work. Nor is he the only U of M professor who’s scored a big grant recently. For example, in October, James McGinnis, an associate professor in the department of engineering technology, received a $599,997 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), for his project “DHS/FEMA-CTG 20.” And Stephanie Ivey, associate dean for research in the Herff College of Engineering and professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, got a $448,254 grant from the National Science Foundation for her project “Collaborative Research: The Urban STEM Collaboratory — Building STEM Identity and Student Success through Academic, Financial, Social, and Career Support.” Research awards like these bode well for the school’s push to gain R1 status from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, as the amount of research expenditures is a key part of gaining R1 status, and more awards lead to more expenditures. Because the updated list of R1 institutions will come out this fall, U of M has already submitted data for consideration, and these grants won’t be considered for the rankings. However, once R1 status is gained, an institution must maintain it — the distinction can be lost — and new lists are released every three years. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEEP DIGGING EXCLUSIVE: MBJ INTERVIEW WITH UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS' NEW PRESIDENT RESEARCH ROUNDUP: U OF M FACULTY MEMBERS SCORE BIG NEW GRANTS News EMERGING ENTREPRENEURS AWARDS: CARLA BALCH OF SPESANA Profiles MEET TWO ST.
