Prior LAMP Fellows have used their knowledge to support their writing of the Educational Plan in their NSF CAREER Grants
Dr. Nga Nguyen was just awarded the NSF CAREER for her project titled "CAREER Grid-scale Energy Storage: Modeling, Analysis, and Control."
Dr. Nguyen says, "LAMP not only introduced and connected me to K-12 schools in Wyoming for my outreach activities but also helped me improve my teaching skills via the LAMP Fellow program. The LAMP Summer Institute was the first program in my academic career where I learned how to best engage students and how to teach efficiently in class. The program has had a long-term impact on my teaching style at UW.
The training and support I received from LAMP were critical to the development of my CAREER proposal. They made my proposal much stronger, especially in my process of preparing for the broader educational impacts."
Dr. Bree Doering was awarded the NSF CAREER award for her current research project titled “CAREER: Reconstructing Human-Animal Relationships in Interior Alaska during Social and Climatic Transitions (2023)."

Dr. Shukla was just awarded the NSF CAREER for her project titled "CAREER: BrainCAPTCHA: Completely Automated Test for User Verification Using Dynamic Brain Biometrics."
Dr. Shukla says, “Participating in the LAMP Fellows program and ELC (Educator Learning Community) played a pivotal role in shaping the educational and outreach activities proposed in my CAREER proposal. The LAMP Fellow program helped me learn effective student engagement strategies and understand the learner's mindset, significantly improving my teaching skills. Additionally, LAMP enhanced my ability to design inclusive and equitable educational materials and provided a community that facilitated connections with rural districts in Wyoming and beyond. I am confident that the insights gained from both ELC and LAMP will continue to enrich the execution of my project as well.”
Dr. Laura Rita de Sousa Oliveira submitted her proposal entitled CAREER: Uncovering High Thermoelectric Performance in 2D Metal–Organic Frameworks Through Ab Initio Atomistic Modeling (2022). Laura speaks to the impact that LAMP had on her ability to write her proposal in the below LAMP Coffee & Curriculum session!
