Robin L. McCarley September 2011 COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS, UNIVERSITY SERVICE, AND EXTERNAL SERVICE Service Overview I have a strong belief that service is an important component of being an outstanding academician. I have been associated with more than twenty five committees or projects that have had a great impact on both the Chemistry Department and The University. In addition, I have been an active citizen with the American Chemical Society, the Electrochemical Society, and the citizens of the State of Louisiana. Below I discuss a sampling of these projects and their significance. Director of Materials Initiatives and Co-Director, Center for Biomodular Multi-scale Systems I am Center Co-Director and Director of Materials Initiatives for the Center for Biomodular Multiscale Systems (CBMM), positions that place me in an advantageous situation to assist in the interdisciplinary training of students across the LSU campus, as well as other universities in Louisiana. This large, multi-disciplinary center was initially funded through an infrastructure grant from the National Science Foundation, the State of Louisiana (Board of Regents), and LSU to the tune of $13 M; this has recently been renewed. More than 20 faculty investigators with greater than $60 M in funding are involved in this center that has as its focus the making of portable medical testing kits (diagnostic assays or devices). The heart of the Center is the making of exceedingly small vias and compartments in devices wherein biological and chemical tests can be made to occur. As a result of the size of the devices (about the size of a US 25-cent piece), the tests can be performed rapidly, at the point of care for the patient, and at a cost that is much less than offered by current testing methods. My role is that of building a team of researchers with a focus on integration of materials of different composition into the medical testing devices so as to improve, or revolutionize, their capabilities. This building of a materials science/engineering research team not only entails the nuts and bolts of research in the laboratory, but also the education of students and postdoctoral fellows in a highly interdisciplinary learning environment. Assembling the correct environment for the students requires interfacing with faculty across several colleges and universities, as well as the Louisiana Board of Regents, the LSU Board of Supervisors (at whose meeting I presented on October 28, 2005 and successfully advocated for official LSU “Center” status, see November 4, 2005 issue of LSU Today), and the National Science Foundation. As a result of my interactions in this center which resulted from efforts initiated some 7 years ago between me, Steve Soper of Chemistry, and Mike Murphy of Mechanical Engineering I have interfaced with faculty and students in multiple colleges, ranging from the School of Design, the College of Engineering, and Basic Sciences. I have served on more than 20 PhD and MS student committees from these colleges as a result. More important to me as an educator is that I routinely collaborate on research projects with students at LSU from chemical, mechanical and electrical & computer engineering, as well as physics, biological sciences, and biological engineering (Ag School). These collaborations are very rewarding to me because I love learning new things, and I also get a feeling of great satisfaction when I am able to teach students and faculty from other disciplines about chemistry and materials science issues of importance to their research. Thus, my positions associated with the Center for Biomodular Multi-scale Systems have placed me in roles that have resulted in an expansion of my mentoring duties for students and faculty, as well as service to the colleges and departments that are associated with the Center for Biomodular Multi-scale Systems. Information Technology Initiative (Now Center for Computation and Technology, CCT) I was selected by the LSU upper administration to solely plan, prepare and present a talk to an external advisory group in November 2001 that was evaluating the distribution of state funds for a new program at LSU in information technology (IT as it was called then, now called CCT), particularly as it page 41 of 61 pages
