Federal Budget Cut Halts Solar Heat Technology Project
By Andy Fell
A project to capture solar heat for industrial use -- with potential spinoffs in other energy areas, including nuclear power -- has been canceled by the U.S. Department of Energy on the cusp of its final phase. The University of California, Davis, received a letter from the federal agency stating that the work "does not effectuate the Department of Energy's priorities."
"The project was supporting our nation's competitivenessin advanced manufacturing for energy security, and it is a shame to see it terminated," said principal investigator Vinod Narayanan, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UC Davis. "These new technologies will pave the way to reducing costs of industrial processes like drying and chemicals processing."
The project was originally funded in 2022 for up to $4.6 million over three years.
Led by UC Davis, the project includes academic partners at Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Michigan and Utah State University as well as Sandia National Laboratory. Industry partners include Sunvapor Inc. of Pasadena, Calif., MRL Material Resources LLC of Xenia, Ohio, and AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, Berwyn, Pa.
Solar-thermal power collects and concentrates heat from the sun so it can be used directly, for example in industrial-scale drying, or to generate electricity. It requires new types of heat exchangers made of materials that can withstand high heat and pressure, transfer heat efficiently, tolerate rapid changes in temperature when the sun rises and sets, and continue working for decades.
These types of materials and devices could also be used in other high heat/high pressure applications, such as in nuclear power plants or industrial processing.
Testing superalloys
The team has built test devices that are 3-D printed from nickel superalloys. These devices contain millimeter-scale channels that carry a working fluid under high pressure. The fluid carries away heat that can be used directly or to generate electricity.
The project has made use of the Solar Thermal Energy Enhancement Laboratory (STEEL) at UC Davis, a 7-meter parabolic dish designed to concentrate sunlight almost a thousand-fold onto a small target area.
The researchers had completed work possible with the STEEL dish and were ready to scale up to a test at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility operated by Sandia in Albuquerque, N.M., Narayanan said.
The UC Davis STEEL facility itself may now be decommissioned. Six graduate students, one at UC Davis and five at partner institutions, are affected by the termination. In addition, research engineers at the UC Davis Western Cooling Efficiency Center and partner companies have also been impacted.
The solar heat research is among dozens of projects and studies at UC Davis that have been terminated or threatened by the loss of federal grants since February. Studies into Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, sustainable transportation, agricultural science and disease resistance, and other areas have been affected. Many of the terminated awards have since been reinstated. Other notices of termination remain disputed in court or procedural appeals with the agency. Historically, the federal government has been the largest source of research funding for UC Davis and other research-intensive universities under a partnership that formed after World War II.

New Course to Give Students Deeper Insights into Middle East Conflicts
By Jesse Jenkins
This spring, NJIT students will have the opportunity to gain a richer picture of the complex history and politics of the Middle East that continue to shape today's headlines, drive foreign policy debates and affect global stability.
A new course opening next semester, "Middle East Conflicts: State Building, Regional Tensions, Peace Processes," will be taught by Doron Shultziner, an associate professorat Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College and visiting scholar in NJIT's Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Shultziner -- who teaches in comparative politics, political development and democratization -- says the class is designed to broaden how students think about the region and its challenges, spanning events from WWI to the modern day.
"When we think about the Middle East, we immediately think about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but there are many other conflicts -- some almost unknown to most people," Shultziner says. "Many courses on the Middle East are taught by historians. Here, we're combining a political science lens with historical perspectives."
According to Shultziner, a recurring focus will be on why building stable states in the Middle East has proven so difficult, and how those struggles continue to drive turmoil today.
"Many states had their borders drawn by outside powers after World War I, often with little connection to local realities. That's still shaping the region's politics and conflicts today," Shultziner explains.
The course not only touches on familiar conflicts in mainstream media including the Israeli-Arab conflict but will more deeply focus on lesser-known disputes -- including the Cyprus conflict and the Western Sahara conflict which intensified in the 1970s -- all within a broader historical and geopolitical context.
"We'll read primary sources, debate interpretations, and connect key turning points to the present. By exploring a range of conflicts, we can begin to see patterns in how state-building challenges, internal struggles and foreign intervention come together," Shultziner says. "It's not a passive lecture course. The goal is to help students become the responsible leaders in the room -- people who can engage in thoughtful, fact-based conversations about a region that is often misunderstood."
Another part of the curriculum looks at the influence of foreign powers -- from European intervention after World War I to more recent American involvement -- and how these outside actors continue to shape borders, alliances and rivalries.
Major events such as the 1967 Six-Day War, Shultziner says, will be used as case studies to show how brief moments can produce lasting geopolitical shifts.
"To get why today's issues are so complicated, you have to study those turning points and understand how the past continues to shape the present," said Shultziner, who emphasizes the new course's relevance for students of any major.
"Understanding the connections between natural resources, geopolitics and global economics in the Middle East is critical for engineers, policymakers, and business leaders alike," he says. "If you want to understand what's really at stake in these conflicts, and what shapes American foreign policy, this class is for you."
For more information, students can contact the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences or consult the spring course schedule.

PORTLAND, Maine, Dec. 10 -- The University of Maine School of Law issued the following news:

Maine Law's Next Generation of Climate Advocates Goes to COP30
Four Maine Law students traveled to Belem, Brazil this fall as part of the University of Maine's official delegation to the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) marking the fourth consecutive year that Maine Law has sent observers to the world's most significant climate summit. Under the guidance of Professor Anthony Moffa, the students immersed themselves in internationalclimate negotiations and high-level discussions among nearly 200 countries working to advance global responses to climate change.
For students preparing for careers in environmental, conservation, international, and administrative law, COP30 offered a rare seat inside the rooms where global environmental policy is shaped.
Second-year student Thacher Carter attended COP30 with a strong background in local conservation work but limited exposure to international climate governance. Experiencing global negotiations in real time reshaped his sense of scale and urgency.
"Prior to attending COP30, my knowledge on international climate policy was fairly limited. I worked for a statewide conservation organization before law school, and I currently volunteer on the board of a climate-friendly nonprofit farm, so my experience with work addressing climate change has mostly been at the local level," Carter reflected. "Learning more about the Paris Agreement and observing international negotiations at COP30--and now being able to compare and contrast those experiences to the local-level work I'm more familiar with--has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Sessions on Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement--focused on international carbon credit markets--highlighted the technical and diplomatic complexities students rarely see in a classroom setting. For Carter, the ability to compare global efforts with Maine-based initiatives deepened his understanding of how policy operates across jurisdictions.
For Stephanie Forbes, who also COP30 brought together months of coursework on international climate agreements and climate-related jurisprudence.
"Attending COP was the perfect way to connect the dots between what I've been learning in class, the research I've been doing, and the current state of affairs globally," Forbes said. "We were able to see geopolitics play out in front of us and feel the tension as nations with differing priorities struggled to agree on the best way forward."
Despite the often stilted pace of climate diplomacy, Forbes left feeling energized by the solidarity she witnessed.
"I left Brazil hopeful," she said. "Two takeaways will stay with me: some change for the public good can often be better than no change at all, and second, the fight against climate change has shown that the collective power of people plays the most crucial role in moving humanity in the right direction."
Professor Moffa emphasized that this kind of experiential learning prepares students to become thoughtful, effective environmental lawyers. By witnessing how agreements like the Paris Accord are negotiated, interpreted, and implemented, students gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of legal systems they will one day help shape.
"Each year, our students return from COP with a deeper understanding of how global climate law is made and a clearer sense of their own power as future attorneys and advocates," he said. "There is no classroom substitute for watching international negotiations unfold in real time."
As Maine and the world confront rising environmental challenges, Maine Law continues to invest in opportunities that prepare its students not just to understand the law, but to lead the legal and policy innovations needed to confront a rapidly changing planet.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania, Dec. 10 -- Lycoming College issued the following news:

Lycoming College granted $180,000 for baseball stadium lighting project by the Williamsport Lycoming Competitive Grant Program at First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania
Lycoming College is one step closer to realizing the next phase of enhancing its baseball complex with stadium lighting through a $180,000 grant provided through the Williamsport Lycoming Competitive Grant Program at First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania.
Lycoming College now calls Brandon Park home of WarriorBaseball. The Lycoming College Baseball Complex, in partnership with the City of Williamsport, has created a permanent home for Lycoming's baseball program with a first-rate baseball facility in the heart of the park. This ongoing project will create a premier field to practice and compete for Lycoming's student-athletes, and it will reflect the College's commitment to excellence in its academic and athletic facilities. The project will create a one-of-a-kind facility that embraces the distinctive features of a community park while attracting the highest caliber student-athletes to Lycoming.
Both the College and City already have invested nearly $5 million to renovate the senior baseball field in the park, creating a desirable venue benefiting not only collegiate athletics but the wider community. The total estimate for this next phase of the project -- including stadium lights, light poles, and installation -- is $635,000.
"Lycoming baseball is more than just a collegiate program. It has quickly become part of the fabric that is bringing the community together in Brandon Park," says Robb Dietrich, interim vice president of advancement at Lycoming College. "The College is grateful to the Williamsport Lycoming Competitive Grant Program at First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania for helping to fund the highly anticipated lighting phase of the baseball complex. The remaining funds will be raised from a pool of Lycoming alumni and friends committed to the project."
After a 52-year hiatus, Lycoming welcomed the return of men's baseball, and the team began using the facility in Spring 2024, following the completion of the project's first phase. However, the stadium was conceived not only as a college but as a community asset, and the most important component of the project's final phase in terms of community access is lighting. Installation of stadium lighting will allow local school and recreational teams greater field availability and will also expand opportunities for Lycoming-hosted camps and clinics for area youth.
The Lycoming College Baseball Complex in Brandon Park is the only high-quality turf field in the area accessible for public use. Additionally, Bowman Field, which has been used in the past for high school playoff competition, has grown less accessible due to field regulations related to MLB's annual Little League Classic.
"Lycoming is using its baseball complex for the betterment of youth and high school baseball in Lycoming County by promoting inclusive camps for all ages and skill levels," says Glenn Smith II '07, athletics development and major gifts at Lycoming College. "From Little League teams to high school programs, our facility has already been used by the community when natural fields were too wet and to showcase rivalry contests from local teams."
"During the summer of 2024, our baseball program hosted its first youth camps in Brandon Park with 80+ campers in attendance. In 2025, we hosted three youth camps with 140+ in attendance," continues Smith. "With the addition of stadium lighting, Lycoming will be able to do even more for our team and the greater community."
Stadium lighting will provide school and community groups with an unduplicated asset in the region - a high-quality turf field on which to play regardless of time of day. Because the College will provide access to the stadium at no cost and will maintain the stadium, this provides a highly convenient opportunity for existing local teams and creates an incentive for new recreational teams to form in the area. Additionally, because of the increased availability for usage, the project will bring new visitors from out of the area to town as spectators, increasing the potential for patronage of local businesses and restaurants.

Lea Asopjio '26 presents at 2025 Midwest Modern Language Association conference
Data science major and French minor Lea Asopjio '26 recently presented a paper at the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) 2025 conference at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The annual conference gathers teachers and scholars in modern languages to provide a forum for disseminating scholarship and improving teaching in the fields of literary and cultural criticism. This year, the event's theme was "The Humanitiesis Where Hope Lives."
Asopjio presented in a symposium panel entitled, "Film as a Limiting or Galvanizing Force of Cultural Knowledge." There, she shared her research paper on the layers of storytelling in the 1998 animated film, Kirikou and the Sorceress.
In her paper, "The Art of Storytelling: Reimagining the Simplicity of The Complex Layers in Kirikou," Asopjio encourages a more complicated reading of a film that is often regarded as a cartoon for children. For Asopjio, the story's complex layers weave a rich tapestry of meaning.
"This was an amazing opportunity, allowing me to revisit my childhood exposure to cultural representation through cinematography and reinterpret its significance through a critical lens," she shared. "The MMLA conference included a diverse group of scholars, graduates, and undergraduate students with expertise in various areas within the humanities."
The paper was originally developed in French for Dr. Hahn's seminar, The Art of Storytelling (FREN385), last spring.
As a data science major, Asopjio recognizes the importance of the liberal arts in enriching an educational experience. She has taken classes across disciplines, including African American studies, French, and economics. "The beauty of being at college is the flexibility to take multiple classes that are not directly linked to your major," she said. "This experience led me to the exploration of a career path at the intersection of the humanities and technology."

Honors College Receives Prestigious NCHC Portz Grant
The Honors College at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University has been selected as one of only three recipients nationwide for the highly competitive 2025 National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) Portz Grant. The award will support the innovative "Honors Without Borders - Global Virtual Honors Collaboratives" program, designed to connect high-achieving students with peers and experts acrossall seven continents through interdisciplinary virtual exchanges.
The NCHC Portz Grant is awarded annually to outstanding honors programs that demonstrate creativity, impact and a commitment to advancing honors education. This year, only three out of 16 applications nationwide were selected, underscoring the exceptional merit and vision of N.C. A&T's proposal.
"Honors Without Borders" will launch in January 2026 led by Gerard Dumancas, Ph.D., associate dean of Research and Program Innovation in the Honors College and professor of chemistry.
The program will offer Honors College students a unique opportunity to engage in virtual study abroad experiences, featuring keynote lectures and interactive sessions with distinguished speakers from Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Latin America, North America, Europe and Oceania. Topics will range from artificial intelligence and health equity in the Philippines to indigenous climate action in Canada, ethical innovation in the United Kingdom, and youth migration in the Americas.
With nearly 900 scholars and a highly competitive admissions process, A&T's Honors College represents the top tier of undergraduate talent at the nation's largest public historically Black university. The new virtual program addresses financial and logistical barriers to traditional study abroad, expanding access to global learning for students from diverse backgrounds. Nearly half of A&T's student body comes from low-income households, making this cost-free, high-impact initiative especially meaningful.
"We are honored to receive the NCHC Portz Grant and grateful for the opportunity to launch a truly global initiative. 'Honors Without Borders' will empower our students to connect, collaborate and learn from diverse cultures and disciplines," said Dumancas. "By removing barriers to international engagement, we are helping shape the next generation of leaders who are prepared to address complex global challenges."
"This recognition by the National Collegiate Honors Council affirms our commitment to providing transformative global experiences for our students," said Margaret Kanipes, Ph.D., Honors College dean. "'Honors Without Borders' exemplifies our mission to foster equity, innovation, and cross-cultural understanding. We are excited to see our scholars engage with peers and thought leaders from around the world, broadening their perspectives and preparing them to lead in a global society."
The "Honors Without Borders" program is the first of its kind to offer honors students affordable, impactful engagement with all seven continents. Each virtual exchange will foster dialogue, cultural understanding and interdisciplinary learning, aligning with NCHC's Shared Principles and Practices of Honors Education. The initiative, funded by the $1,500 grant, also lays the groundwork for future partnerships, including formal Memoranda of Understanding for student and faculty exchanges, joint research and collaborative academic projects.
"We are pleased to contribute to the success of 'Honors Without Borders - Global Virtual Honors Collaboratives' at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University," said Kerry Wynn, co-chair of the NCHC Awards and Grants Committee. "We look forward to learning more about the impact of this project and hope it will serve as a replicable model for honors education nationwide."
Upon completion, the program's outcomes will be shared through conference presentations and publication in the Journal of NCHC, further amplifying A&T's leadership in global honors education.

Georgia State Economics Students Honored Nationally for Policy Research
Four students from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies (AYS) at Georgia State University were selected as recipients of the Equity and Inclusion Fellowship at the 2025 Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) conference. The fellows were recognized for their academic achievements and commitment to advancing equitable and transformative policy solutions.
Ph.D. candidates Nikita Dhingra, Zachariah Emmanuel andOlanrewaju Yusuff, along with undergraduate student Tanya Dhuldhoya, traveled to Seattle, Wash., with AYS Associate Dean Cathy Liu to attend the conference, held Nov. 13-15.
APPAM is the premier professional association for the public policy research community, with its annual flagship conference convening thousands of academics, practitioners and students. The theme for APPAM's 47th Annual Fall Research Conference, Forging Collaborations for Transformative and Resilient Policy Solutions, highlighted the importance of diverse perspectives in policymaking, bringing academics from diverse backgrounds together to collaborate on more efficient and equitable policies that address the complexities of our society.
"I'm very pleased to see three of our doctoral students and one undergraduate student selected as this year's APPAM Equity and Inclusion Fellowship recipients," Liu said. "This is a strong testament to their hard work and dedication to public policy research and the support of their faculty mentors and academic programs. This fellowship enables them the opportunity to network with peers and researchers in the field and I believe is an experience that will inspire them into the future."
All four fellows study in the Department of Economics at the Andrew Young School.
"I am very proud of these students and of our department's continued contributions to APPAM," said James Marton, chair of the Department of Economics. "Being housed within a public policy school allows our program to take an applied economics approach that prepares engaged, driven students to address real policy challenges -- just like these outstanding fellows."
Dhingra is a fourth-year Ph.D. student whose research emphasizes the intersectionality of health economics, environmental economics and developmental economics with a focus on how external forces shape women's health, labor market outcomes and agency across both developed and developing countries.
After completing his Ph.D. at the Andrew Young School, Emmanuel's goal is to become a research-oriented professor focusing on applied microeconomics, particularly in health, maternal well-being and poverty alleviation.
"Growing up in a low-income community shaped my interest in understanding how economic disadvantages influence health outcomes, access to care and intergenerational mobility," he said.
Ph.D. candidate Yusuff's research focuses on how access to healthcare infrastructure affects population health, with a focus on access to mental health treatment facilities, emergency medical services and maternal healthcare. Beginning in spring 2026, Yusuff will teach health economics as the primary instructor at Georgia State, which represents an important step toward his career goal of becoming a professor who bridges rigorous empirical research with practical policy applications.
After graduation, undergraduate student Dhuldhoya plans to pursue a career in applied economics and public policy with a focus on labor markets and education. When asked about his time as an AYS student, Dhuldhoya said, "I've been able to work closely with professors on research and engage in applied projects that have given me exposure to real policy questions early on in my academic career. This combination of rigorous coursework and hands-on research experience has provided me with a strong base for what I want to do in the future."
The accomplishments of these economics students reflect the strong research culture and rigorous academic training at the Andrew Young School. AYS' commitment to high-quality research and student success have ranked it 16th nationally among public affairs programs, according to U.S. News & World Report.
