Lance DeLong group / solid state physics
257-2300, ext. 282 lander@uky.edu
Focus on the study of superconducting and magnetic behavior of solids at low temperatures, high magnetic fields and high pressures, including superconducting thin films with controlled patterns.
Joseph Fink group / pharmaceutical sciences
257-2300, ext. 241 jfink@uky.edu
Focus on law pertaining to pharmacy, pharmacists and pharmaceuticals, food and drug law, and health care law. Regulation of controlled substances and the relation of that to drug abuse is also of interest, as well as public policy issues related to pharmaceuticals, medical devices, clinical research, and science- and technology-based economic development.
Judy Goldsmith group / computer science, education policy studies, curriculum & instruction, anthropology
257-4245 goldsmith@cs.uky.edu
This diverse group of six faculty and their students is designing decision-support software for welfare case managers and other advisors in the Kentucky welfare-to-work system. The group is also interested in knowledge elicitation; expert-knowledge-based model validation; preference representation, handling and aggregation; management of probability data; decision analysis; and anthropologiocal analysis of the welfare-to-work system.
Eric Grulke group / chemical & materials engineering
