Facultivities: Bicircular matroids, tandem bullets and space grants

WVU Tech’s faculty members are dedicated to the advancement of the fields they teach. Outside of the classroom, they’re researchers, writers, presenters, go-to experts and road warriors who share their passion for learning with the world.

Here’s what our faculty members have been up to:

Dr. Houbing Song (Electrical and Computer Engineering) collaborated on and published four peer-reviewed journal papers in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Communications MagazineWireless Networks and  International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks.

Dr. Deborah Chun’s (Mathematics) article, “Bicircular matroids representable over GF4 and GF5,” was accepted to  Discrete Mathematics in late March. On April 9, Dr. Chun delivered her talk, “Capturing triangles in unavoidable minors,” at the Midwest Graph Theory conference hosted by Wright State University in Dayton. Ohio.

Andrew Wheeler, M.F.S. (Forensics) will present “A Case Study of a Tandem Bullet from a Small Caliber Revolver” at the Technical Session of the 47th Annual Association of Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners Training Seminar in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 31.

Dr. Kenan Hatipoglu (Electrical and Computer Engineering) was awarded a $10,000 grant from the  NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium for “Summer STEM Workshop for Middle School Teachers.”

Dr. Farshid Zabihian (Mechanical Engineering) received an award from  NASA West Virginia Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NASA WV EPSCoR) for his research entitled “Feasibility Study of Application of Abandoned Coal Mines for Residential Heating and Cooling in West Virginia.”

Dr. Gregory A. Lieving (Psychology) collaborated with colleagues at the University of Florida, Johns Hopkins University and Michigan State University to publish “Contingency enhances sensitivity to loss in a gambling task with diminishing returns” in  The Psychological Record.
