A Nepali Physics professor (Dr. Mukesh Dhamala) working at Georgia State University has received a $539,737 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF)-NSF CAREER award, to pursue research that may lead to a better understanding of neurological disorders. This will allow Prof Dhamala to study how the brain puts information together from the senses to help make decisions.

The NSF CAREER award is the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of the early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who most effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their organization. Such activities should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of integrated contributions to research and education.
