Unless they change the eligibility rules, that's not a factor considered if you've previously applied as a graduate student.

You can't read the details yet, because they haven't actually released a solicitation yet. Just deadlines.

You only have one year of eligibility as a graduate student. The eligibility says "never previously applied to GRFP while enrolled in a graduate degree program."

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Professor at University at Buffalo!

To kickoff my fall hiking season and celebrate my HUGE September 1 career milestone, Joel Versypt and I spent the afternoon at Letchworth State Park for hike 2 of #WNYHikingChallenge. We did the Autism Nature Trail and portions of the Gorge Trail.

Shout-out to Ariel, Kailei, Angeli & Eduardo for TAing our lab's session of the UB ChemE Camp. They helped HS students with designing an optimal treatment plan using our custom MATLAB pharmaceutical dosing app & w drawing PFDs for Oreo manufacturing.

I was 1 of 2 scheduled speakers in the last contributed talk session at #SMB2025 & the other didn't show. I'm thankful for the 7 engaged audience members consisting of 3 strangers & 4 friends & for see you later hugs I got today. I love the math bio research community that spans the globe.

The Harry Potter reference was great. Another set of two time stamps could've been Feb 2020 to now (or any interval after Mar 2020). We had no idea what Mar 2020 and beyond had in store for us and before/after snapshots hide the trajectories of drama in between

It is sooo useful! We've been applying it to everything spatial biol. Thanks for sharing such a great tool.

John Metzcar & I hosted a minisymposium on Systems Approaches to Cancer Biology at the Society for Mathematical Biology Annual Meeting #SMB2025. 2025.smb.org/ONCO/MS-ONCO...

Speakers: me, Aaron Meyer, Erzsébet Ravasz Regan, & Stacey Finley

We got a door sign for my lab! I never remembered to ask until a staff member recently asked for updates from all the faculty. My hallway has all new lab signs from all the faculty who've joined in the last 6 years. My lab 404 will no longer get "404 not found" messages.

Happy to be working on this dream team project led by Viviana Monje in her NSF RIEF grant on teaching threshold concepts in statistics to ChE using computational notebooks. Matilde Sanchez-Pena and I are co-PIs on the team. Jinhui Li CBE PhD student created the poster & the notebook (QR code).

Throwback to 16.5 years ago at my first Thunder basketball team in the Ford Center during their first season. Oklahoma has loved and supported this team from the beginning. Not just OKC, but the entire state. Awesome for them to win it all at home! #ThunderUp

NBA finals game 7 team spirit in the ChE Division at ASEE!

My MIRA renewal is officially on the SUNY RF social media celebration list. My first grant to be celebrated as "large grant award" in 4.5 years at UB.

Hike 1 of #WNYHikingChallenge at Little Rock City with UB SEAS colleagues before we start the Faculty Launch Mentoring Program writing retreat in Ellicottville.

We celebrate each new MS or PhD grad by taking a pic with all of those who have graduated and left my lab before them. Congratulations Dr. Kru and Tanben, MS. #ubclassof2025

CBE graduates who had UG research experiences in my lab. Congrats JP, Sarita, and Yaman! #ubclassof2025

My PO had reached out in December to tell me it had been recommended for funding at the fall council (Jan 2024 submission). I was not funded until April due to continuing resolution and then the drama. The score is probably only worth comparing within program areas.

I do like the signals of the name Leo XIV

My paper with Duncan Mullins on the open source educational materials for Applied Numerical Computing is now published by the Journal of Open Source Education: jose.theoj.org/papers/10.21...

Thanks to NSF and CACHE for funding.

I will teach Honors Board Games in the fall as a 1 credit class for 1st engineers! I will serve as a UB Honors Faculty Fellow. They want faculty to share passions & connect into the UB community. It's perfect to connect my love for gaming, source of community & strategic skill development.

Congratulations
