Penn State’s Research Institutes

Penn State’s five university-wide research institutes are centrally positioned within the Office of the Vice President for Research to

accelerate discovery and advance interdisciplinary, collaborative team science. They do this by co-funding faculty positions and

startup packages, providing seed and matching funds, and running university wide core research instrumentation facilities. The five

institutes are described below and the symbol represents the poster affiliation:

Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences Ⓗ

The Huck Institutes catalyze and facilitate excellence in interdisciplinary life science research and education at Penn State .

We have over 100 co-hired faculty in various departments and colleges. We establish and support interdisciplinary research institutes

and centers that promote cutting-edge, collaborative, interdisciplinary science. Degree programs and professional training prepare

graduates for productive and successful scientific careers. Students have the opportunity to explore concepts linking different fields,

engage in active group learning experiences and explore potential career opportunities before graduation. Our shared technolo gy

facilities offer a wide range of instrumentation and technical expertise that supports researchers from Penn State and beyond.

Institute for CyberScience Ⓒ The Institute for CyberScience (ics.psu.edu) is one of Penn State’s five university -wide research institutes that are centrally positioned

within the Office of the Vice President for Research to accelerate discovery and advance interdisciplinary, collaborative team science.

The ICS works across all colleges at the University to cultivate a community of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary computa tion- and

data-enabled research and learning.

Cyberscience is a fast growing mode of discovery, in addition to traditional theory and experiment, because it provides a unique virtual

laboratory to investigate complex problems that are otherwise impossible or impractical to address. The intellectual strength of

computational science lies with its universality––all research domains benefit from it. The expectation is that ICS@PSU will succeed

both in facilitating research across a broad spectrum of disciplines and in securing significant external resources for cyberscience-

related research for years to come.

Institutes of Energy and the Environment Ⓔ

The mission of the Institutes of Energy and the Environment (now IEE, but formerly known as PSIEE) is to foster and facilitat e

interdisciplinary scholarship and collaboration to positively impact important energy and environmental challenges. Under a u nifying

theme of translating data to knowledge to impact, IEE focuses on five strategic areas: Smart Energy Systems; Future Energy Su pply;

Health and the Environment; Climate and Ecosystem Change; and Water and Biogeochemical Cycles.

IEE is the organizational home for the Institute for Natural Gas Research and the newly forming Water Institute, and supports and

collaborates with the Ecology Institute; the EMS Energy Institute; the Engineering, Energy & Environmental Institute; the Env ironment

and Natural Resources Institute; the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute; and the Rock Ethics Institute.

Materials Research Institute Ⓜ

MRI provides leadership both at Penn State and in the materials community worldwide, coordinating materials -related activities,

maintaining core and shared facilities, training students, and fostering collegial exchanges of expertise.

MRI supports 240-plus faculty working across disciplines in materials -related research. MRI’s 4-Lab Solution integrates computation,

characterization, nano and micro fabrication, and two-dimensional materials synthesis to take ideas from theory to prototype. Along

with traditional fields of research, MRI is engaged in bio-inspired engineering, materials in two-dimensions and layered 2D materials,

atomically thin coatings, subatomic microscopy, additive manufacturing, and humanitarian materials engineering.

Social Science Research Institute Ⓢ

Our mission is to foster research that addresses critical human and social problems at the local, national, an d international levels. We do

so by bringing together researchers from different disciplines around emerging areas of study, and by providing consultation, financial

support, shared, accessible infrastructure, and services to social scientists at Penn State.

The SSRI has five strategic foci: The Human System, Social Disparities, Smart and Connected Health, Innovative Methods, and

Dissemination and Implementation Science.

Pasteur's Quadrant in the Twenty-First Century: Why We Need to Rediscover Fundamental Research William Easterling, Dean, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences

Abstract: Differences between fundamental or basic and applied research are often difficult to distinguish clearly. In its purest form, fundamental research is performed without thought of practical application; its conduct provides general knowledge about nature and its laws. The function of applied research is to provide complete answers to practical problems, often using an amalgam of fundamental knowledge. For example, the fundamental principles of nuclear magnetic resonance were developed by I. Rabi at Columbia University in the mid-1930s, but it took 40 years for them to be applied by P. Lauterbur at SUNY-Stony Brook in the first magnetic resonance image of a human in 1977. But Donald Stokes in his book Pasteur’s Quadrant argues that the fundamental-applied research dichotomy is not helpful because “fundamental” discoveries often emerge from “applied” or even “developmental” activities. Pasteur’s Quadrant allows for all combinations of research to yield both fundamental and practical knowledge. That has become the dominant model of US research policy. Vannevar Bush argued in his influential report to President Franklin Roosevelt, Science, the Endless Frontier, “there is a perverse law governing research…that applied research drives out pure (basic) research.” I assert that pure fundamental research, Pasteur’s Quadrant apart, has an important place in our lives and there are signs that in the US we have lost our way in the promotion of fundamental, especially high-risk, research in all of our sciences. It is time to retake the high ground.

The Social and Behavioral Sciences at Penn State: Addressing Critical Human and Social Problems in a Rapidly Changing World Susan McHale, Director, Social Science Research Institute

Abstract: Research in the social and behavioral sciences ranges from studies of large-scale social forces, including socio-economic, political, and socio-cultural influences, to dynamics in smaller group settings such as work organizations, schools, and families. It also encompasses research on behavior--from overt actions to underlying psychological processes such as cognitive, emotional, and motivational functioning. And, there is an emphasis on the role of human behavior in adapting to change, in resilience in the face of challenge, and in effecting change--in the self as well as in individuals’ larger social and physical environments. In these ways, social science research extends from the genome to the globe, and its impacts range from the development of evidence-based and cost effective policies that target vulnerable populations, to education programs that enhance learning and skill building and everyday behavioral practices that promote health and prevent disease. SSRI’s 2014-2019 strategic research directions capture many of the research activities of Penn State social scientists and include: the Human System, Social Disparities, Smart and Connected Health, Innovative Methods, and Dissemination and Implementation Science. Projects that exemplify each of these strategic directions will be described.

Bio: Susan McHale is Distinguished Professor of Human Development and professor of demography. She has been director of the Social Science Research Institute since 2007 and, since 2009, has served as co-director of the Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Professor McHale received her B.A. in psychology from Bucknell University and Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Professor McHale studies bio-psycho-social processes underlying human behavior, health and development across the lifespan. Together with her collaborator, Dr. Ann Crouter, she directs the Penn State Family Relationships Project, a longitudinal study of family life and youth development that has been funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) since 1995. Professor McHale’s research focuses on youth development from childhood through young adulthood and highlights the effects of family experiences on both youth and their parents--particularly family roles, relationships, and daily activities and how these family dynamics are linked to psychological and physical health and development. Professor McHale also studies diversity in the socio-cultural contexts of family dynamics, including how cultural values and practices have implications for family life and well-being in Mexican-origin and African American families. Her research on family influences uses a range of methods, including experimental, long-term longitudinal, and daily diary designs to illuminate complex family systems processes. Professor McHale has published over 200 research articles and is co-author/editor of eight books.

Accelerating Innovation for Energy and Environmental Solutions Tom Richard, Director, Institutes of Energy and the Environment

Abstract: Penn State is rich with energy and environmental research and innovation. This presentation will showcase new and exciting research results on energy science, policy and technology, water and biogeochemical cycles, climate and ecosystem change, and health-environment interactions. A particular focus this year will be the Energy University initiative, which includes transformative new strategies for cutting-edge research, hands-on education, and utilization of all of our campuses and the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a living laboratory and operating station for collaborative industry-university project development, demonstration, and evaluation. By using the flexible Penn State IP policies to break down barriers to collaboration, we are forging deep interactions with company R&D teams, leveraging the breadth of Penn State's interdisciplinary expertise, accelerating the innovation cycle, and providing exceptional training for students. These students are the next generation talent that will be crucial for both addressing the "Wicked Problems" that challenge many aspects of society, and for building successful and profitable solutions in the energy and environmental domains.

Threats and Solutions to Global Health Issues Peter Hudson, Director, The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences

Abstract: Over the past 15 years our technical abilities in the life sciences have accelerated hugely, so we can now sequence an individual's genome for less than $1000. We are examining how your genes interact with the environment and your microbiome to shape the phenotype and personalized health. We have the tools and data to obtain insights into understanding human variation, the big challenge that Charles Darwin started to address more than 150 years ago. At the same time, the issues have become much more global than local. Emergence of infectious disease such as Ebola or Zika on one side of the world are threatening human health on the other side of the globe. Food security issues are also global, and while people in the developing world may not have electricity they have phones and other technologies. I will talk about some of the fine work being conducted at Penn State that will help with these issues, and how important it is for us to work with and train people in parts of Africa and Asia.

Bio: Peter Hudson is the director of the The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences and The Willaman Professor of Biology at The Pennsylvania State University. At Penn State he builds research teams in The Life Sciences in an interdisciplinary manner. He earned his B.Sc from The University of Leeds and his doctorate from Magdalen College, Oxford University, where he was in The Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology. He investigates the dynamics of infectious disease in wildlife, how diseases spread through wild animal populations and how they impact host dynamics. He undertakes revealing field experiments and applies theory to understand how parasites interact with their hosts, other natural enemies, and shape host dynamics. He demonstrated that parasites are the cause of unstable population cycles in red grouse, and showed how parasites shared between hosts can lead to localized host extinction. More recently he has been investigating how new disease invades hosts and the impact they have and is working on big-horned sheep in Idaho, tortoises in the Mojave, and wolves in Montana. He is adjunct faculty at The Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science & Technology in Arusha (Tanzania), where he advises a number of students working in the Maasai Steppe.

Cyberscience in Service of Society Jenni Evans, Interim Director, Institute for CyberScience

Abstract: Cyberscience—including science driven by big data and big simulations—is often said to be transforming the scientific process. Whereas science has traditionally relied upon observation and experimentation to develop knowledge, the advance of high-performance computing technology has made other methods of discovery possible. Researchers can mine immense databases for subtle patterns or perform millions of simulations of physical systems to generate accurate predictions about those systems. But if cyberscience is changing scientific inquiry, how will these changes manifest in the world around us? How can the power of twenty thousand computer cores be put to the service of society? I want to highlight a number of ways that cyberscience at Penn State is being used to make an impact. We enable socially relevant work across the disciplines—from psychology and political science to geosciences and meteorology to mechanical engineering and materials science, to name just a few. In offering some case studies of the projects we enable, I will demonstrate that cyberscience is not just a tool for gaining knowledge about the world, but a vital force for improving the human condition. Bio: Jenni L. Evans is the interim director of Penn State’s Institute for CyberScience (ICS), a professor of meteorology and atmospheric science, and an associate of the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute. Dr. Evans is a research fellow in Penn State’s Institutes of Energy and the Environment. Her research encompasses tropical cyclones (hurricanes) from their genesis to decay or landfall. She has recently been exploring development of African Easterly Waves and how they evolve into hurricanes. Jenni Evans was one of a small group of scientists who developed a new understanding of extratropically transitioning (ET) tropical cyclones. ET storms can have potentially devastating societal impacts, even in Canada, Western Europe, and Japan. She collaborated on developing a framework for mapping the evolution of all cyclonic storms, the Cyclone Phase Space (CPS). The CPS is now used in operations at the US National Hurricane Center. Dr. Evans is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society. Other current and former professional activities include the US Weather Research Program Science Steering Committee, Science Steering Committee for the US THORPEX Pacific Asian Regional Campaign, Advisory Board for the NOAA/NSF Developmental Testbed Center (for operational and research numerical models), and editor of AMS Monthly Weather Review.

Future Materials Manufacturing to Address Sustainability Clive Randall, Director, Materials Research Institute

Abstract: Collectively, researchers at The Pennsylvania State University have academic world leadership in the design, characterization, and modelling of new materials for many different functionalities. To explain and broaden this impact in society, it requires the transition of materials to industry and the establishment of cost effective manufacture of materials , providing desired and reproducible properties. With limited resources, environmental concerns, and globalized

__________________________ Invited Speaker, cont’d __________________________ competition, we have to consider many more parameters in the discovery and development of materials going forwards. We can readily see that the energy budget, CO2 footprint for a cradle-to-grave lifecycle viewpoint will have to be embraced by industry and be carefully considered within university research. Here we will highlight some of our Penn State initiatives that embrace manufacturing of materials, including additive manufacturing, coupling other forms of energy to better enable kinetics to process at lower temperatures, utilizing biological processes and hydrothermal processes to develop sustainable production methods and to integrate and design new organic-inorganic composites.

Bio: Clive A. Randall is a professor of materials science and engineering and director of the Materials Research Institute at The Pennsylvania State University. He received a B.Sc. with Honors in physics in 1983 from the University of East Anglia (UK), and a Ph.D. in experimental physics from the University of Essex (UK) in 1987. He was director for the Center for Dielectric Studies, 1997-2013, and co-director of the Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics, 2013-2015, still serving as Technical Advisor. He has authored/co-authored over 360 technical papers and holds 13 patents (with 1 pending) in the field of electroceramics. His research interests are in the area of discovery, processing, material physics, and compositional design of functional materials with different processing and characterization methods. Prof. Randall has received a number of awards from various societies, including the American Ceramic Society Fulrath Award; Fellow of the American Ceramic Society; Academician of the World Academy of Ceramics; Spriggs Phase Equilibria Award; Friedberg Lecture at the American Ceramic Society; Edward C.
