All Cases

The petitioner intends to continue research on foodborne and zoonotic pathogens in livestock and animal-source foods to improve disease surveillance and public health preparedness. The work focuses on advancing diagnostic tools, risk modeling, and antimicrobial use guidelines within veterinary systems across the United States.

The petitioner proposes to optimize backyard poultry farming through advanced genomics, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. His work focuses on developing genomic selection methods and precision-farming tools to enhance productivity and conserve biodiversity. The intended impact is to improve food security and agricultural sustainability within the United States.

The petitioner proposes to continue research on sustainable technologies for recovering rare earth elements (REEs) from secondary sources such as electronic waste, industrial wastewater, mine tailings, and sludge. This work focuses on developing scalable, circular-economy solutions to enhance domestic REE supply chains while reducing production costs and environmental risks.

The petitioner proposes to develop materials with superior catalytic properties to improve the electrochemical performance of energy conversion and storage technologies, specifically solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). His work focuses on reducing the overall cost of these technologies to facilitate widespread commercialization and reduce global reliance on fossil fuels.
