The Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers: Recipient Details
Frank Brown
Affidivation:
University of California, Santa Barbara
NSF Directorate:
MPS
Gender:
M
Award Year:
2004
Citation:
For developing new computational algorithms to investigate cellular phenomena. The resulting computational tools should lead to new knowledge of cell-membrane dynamics and cytoskeletal assembly and provide insight into how cells move within the body. Brown's teaching activities include a campus-wide program in computational science and engineering to modernize the curriculum for students in a variety of disciplines, while improving training for future scientists by providing them up-to-date professional skills.
