These programs will strengthen the links between industry and academia and identify and encourage new avenues of research in the mathematical sciences. The University-Industry Postdoctoral Research Fellowships provide two years of support for recent recipients of doctoral degrees in the mathematical sciences. These awards are a means of contributing to the future vitality of the scientific effort of the nation. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with scientific advisors from both academia and industry. The postdoctoral fellow will work under the direction of Paul A. Brinkley at Northern Telecom and Jye-Chyi Lu at North Carolina State University. The research involves the development of a supervisory process control system to improve production quality of digital wireless communications equipment. The research involves statistical modeling using a spatial random coefficients model.
