Projects 1. A Study on New Highly Reflective Thermal Barrier Coatings Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are used in the hot section of rocket engines and jet engines to safeguard the engines under extreme working temperature, ~1600ºC. In this project, Southern researcher, Dr. Yang and group members is doing computer simulation on ZrO2/Al2O3 interface, while Dr. Guo's research group at LSU is doing plasma spray experiment in colaborate with NASA scientists. This project was funded by NASA EPSCoR – BoR for one year with total budget $61125.00 /yr (Southern was alloted $22250.00).2. Second Order Protein Structure Prediction of gK and UL20 Understanding the secondary structures of gK and UL20 could greatly facilitate predicting functional domains of each protein that may be involved in multiple functions through the virus lifecycle. In this project, Dr. Bai, Dr. Yang and the graduate students are colaborating with Dr. Kousoulas group at LSU Veterinary Medicine, using related computational tools to predict second order protein structures of gK and UL20. This is a one year $50000.00 /yr LBRN fund-pending project. Dr. Bai is the principal investigator and Dr. Khosravi and Dr. Kousoulas are the mentors. |
