Recently, Emanuele Zappala, assistant professor, and Maryam Bagherian, incoming assistant professor, were selected for the group’s Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) Fellowship. The professional development program for early career faculty focuses on “improving the teaching and learning of mathematics, engaging in research and scholarship, finding exciting and interesting service opportunities, and participating in professional activities,” according to the MAA.

Mustafa Mashal, professor of civil engineering, and Jared Cantrell, manager of the Disaster Response Complex, recently returned from presenting their research at the 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering in Milan, Italy.

Six projects affiliated with ISU researchers and their collaborators in Peru and Qatar were presented at the conference, which brought together over 4,200 attendees from 82 countries.
