Progress 09/01/15 to 08/31/16
Outputs
Target Audience: Minority and other students Farmers engaged in perennial grass production Industries involved in cellulosic biomass Changes/Problems:The scheduled training at USDA Forest Product Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin wasn't possible during this term due to schedule conflict and collaborator research engagements abroad. Will request for no cost extension to avail the much needed training. There will be no change in the project's originally approved scope of work and activity. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Training Collaborating with highly advance lab and accomplished mentor helped set up the lab and conduct experiments efficiently. Several graduate students as well as high school students were mentored and given training in nanotechnology. Students were able to develop individual projects and conducted the research work. Professional Development Four conference papers/presentations were made and 1 Master's thesis has been published. Two papers are accepted to be presented in an international symposium in September 2016. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results have been disseminated to communities of interest through student/mentor participation and research paper presentation at MANRRS (Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences) 31st Annual Career Fair and Training Conference and Research Day at FVSU. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Complete the scheduled training at USDA Forest Product Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Integration of new techniques for production and characterization of cellulosic nanocrystals. Training of minority graduate students in nanotechnology One lab in nanotechnology has been established at Agricultural Research, Station, Fort Valley State University. Eight students including 1 high school student have been trained in nanotechnology. The very first graduate student with nanotechnology specialization at the university has finished Master's thesis . One student is currently working for Master's thesis in nanotechnology. One graduate course is developed in Nanobiotechnology and set to be offered in Spring of 2017
