CRPC AWARDS AND HONORS

Richard Tapia, CRPC Director of Human Resources and Education and Noah Harding Professor of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University, is one of the first recipients of the 1996 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. The awards were established by the National Science Foundation to recognize the individuals, educational institutions, and organizations most responsible for increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in scientific fields. Because of Tapia's recognition, Rice will receive a $10,000 NSF-funded grant to further enhance mentoring efforts. Tapia was one of 10 individuals and six institutions honored at an awards ceremony at the White House on September 25.

Steven Cox, Associate Professor of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University, has received a research fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation. Beginning January 1997, Cox will spend a year conducting mathematical biology research at the University of Cologne in Germany. He will work with German professor Bernhard Kawohl to study how the human diaphragm affects the lungs and work on developing software that doctors can use to help diagnose patients with lung-related diseases. Cox is a collaborator with CRPC researcher John Dennis in the field of optimization.
