  • Ohio Research Scholar funding
    University of Dayton, leading a partnership with The Ohio State University, Wright State University, and Miami University were recommended for $23,448,718 in funding for a proposal to develop the Ohio Academic Research Cluster for Layered Sensing and enable the compilation of world-renowned layered sensing intellectual capital in Ohio to establish Ohio as the undisputed academic leader in layered sensing. Layered sensing is defined as taking a multitude of diverse and distinct sensor platforms and fusing their data into one synergistic view of the environment being sensed. Applications of interest, according to the proposal, include military, security, safety, medical, triage, law enforcement, geographic information services, environmental, and agricultural markets. Wright State University, University of Dayton, and The Ohio State University are each to receive one endowed Research Scholar position.
