2/22/2010
Pierre Ferdinand Poudeu Poudeu, an Assistant Professor in the University of New Orleans Department of Chemistry and Advanced Materials Research Institute (AMRI), has been awarded a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
This award is considered one of the NSF’s most prestigious awards and is given to “junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research.â€
The $600,000 grant will go to support Poudeu’s research program on the development of multifunctional materials that could serve to advance modern computers with the goal of having an entire computer on a single semiconducting chip. The program involves outreach efforts that will serve to promote retention and training of freshman undergraduate minority chemists at UNO as well as involve them in community service to promote interest in science careers among local high school students.
Professor Poudeu studied as an undergraduate at the University of Yaoundé in Cameroon and received his doctoral degree at the Dresden University of Technology in Germany. He was a postdoctoral scholar at Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI) and at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) before coming to UNO in August 2007.
