Grainger VIP Impact Report

CHU MA Assistant Professor, Grainger Institute Fellow The Grainger Faculty Scholarship Fund has supported my conference travel to the 185th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Sydney, Australia, a visit to the 3M headquarters in Minnesota to establish potential research collaborations, and the annual membership fees for professional societies. We also used the fund to purchase experimental system components to generate preliminary results for grant proposals. The rest of the fund will support conference travel, publication fees, and lab supplies of my research group. I am grateful for the support of the Grainger fund, as it helps my research group to disseminate our research outcomes to professional societies and a broader audience, and it provides us the flexibility to explore new research ideas that do not have major external funding yet.

I have spent funds on equipment for a student of mine who does research in machine learning and systems. My current plan is to spend the remaining funds supporting a new incoming doctoral student who accepted an offer to join my group.
