FIU Discovery

Innovation and groundbreaking discoveries are the result of decades of dedication and hard work. An opportunity to pursue a particular research topic for several years is often lifechanging. Now, five early-career FIU scientists are getting the chance with support from one of the National Science Foundation’s most competitive, prestigious programs. Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) awards are reserved for young faculty poised to be role models in research and education. Meet these NSF CAREER awardees Trina Fletcher, Bruk Berhane, Darryl Dickerson, Ahmed  Ibrahim and Amal  Elawady.

Assistant professors Alexandra Coso Strong and Stephen Secules have been granted the National Science Foundation CAREER award , one of the most prestigious accolades for early-career faculty members. The two educators from the School of Universal Computing, Construction & Engineering Education (SUCCEED) will conduct research with the ultimate goal of working with engineering faculty to create positive educational experiences for students.

FIU Discovery can help you optimize your digital presence and reduce the amount of time spent maintaining the same scholarly productivity data across various platforms within and beyond FIU, such as ORCID, Panther180 and ScienCV.  The platform is being rolled out as part of the Faculty Success Initiative, a University-wide effort that stives to promote faculty success in finding collaborators, communicating impact, and reducing burden by automating high-quality information to various digital touchpoints.
