Research support for John Sullivan

From May to December 2000, I was the acting director of the Center for Process Simulation and Design (CPSD) here at Illinois, funded by NSF/DARPA's OPAAL program.

I collaborated with Hassan Aref and Siggi Thoroddsen of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics on a NASA project studying foams.

I am working with Sue Tolman and Bridget Arvold (Math Education) on the METER project (part of IPLP) to improve the training of highschool math teachers; we have also received funding from the NSF for the GK-12 EdGrid program.

Here are some details of the grants:
