The College of Sciences and Arts is pleased to announce Ashutosh Tiwari<\/a> as our first Associate Dean for Graduate Research and Education. He officially started in this brand new position on July 1 and will be working closely with Interim Dean of the College of Sciences and Arts Ravindra Pandey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this new role, Dr. Tiwari serves as the College\u2019s primary point person for issues related to graduate education, identifying interdisciplinary research opportunities and online graduate certificate programs within the University.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A broadly trained protein chemist and cell biologist, Dr. Tiwari is a professor of chemistry at Tech. His research is in the area of \u2018protein aggregation diseases\u2019 with emphasis on age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD), Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD), prion diseases, and Huntington\u2019s disease (HD). He has received numerous grants as PI or as Co-PI  from the National Institutes of Health, the ALS Therapy Alliance, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association (ALSA), and the MTU Research Excellence Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have served the University for almost 14 years and am excited to be Associate Dean,\u201d said Tiwari. \u201cThe College has a number of exciting research initiatives crossing disciplines such as turning plastics into protein<\/a> for use as an emergency food source; investigating physics and chemistry of cloud formation<\/a>; understanding the impacts of multitasking on cognitive performance<\/a>; using hydropower to store energy<\/a> in old hard-metal mines; and understanding the ways in which new media technologies can facilitate the spread of misinformation<\/a>. I want to seek out other exciting collaborations. Plus, the College is a diverse and productive unit with a strong record of excellence in graduate research and education. I will use my experiences mentoring successful graduate students to advance the goals of our college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, we are pleased to have Dr. Tiwari lead this important initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
