Past Research Grants:

DoED Project ($666K, 2012 – 2016): GAANN: Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need. This GAANN program provides fellowships, through UTPA-MATH departments, to assist graduate students with excellent records who demonstrate financial need and plan to pursue the highest degree available in their course study at the institution in math field. GAANN application is accepted any time. Please contact zhiun.qiao@utrgv.edu if you want more information.

THECB project ($145K, 2010 – 2013) on Fourier Integral Operation and Its Applications in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Image Restoration. Graduate and undergraduate students are now accepted for application for spring/summer/fall 2012. For graduate students' application, click here, and for undergraduate students, click here. There is a Ph D study connected to UT-Arlington, and master students from UTPA may pursue their Ph D degrees at UT-Arlington after this program. Please contact zhijun.qiao@utrgv.edu for more information.
