Dr. Lumpp's research and teaching activities span
a wide range of topics from lasers and microelectronics to K-12 education and
carbon nanotubes. Her current research funding includes an Army Research
Laboratory grant and a UK Research Support Grant. The ARL grant to Vanderbilt
University called the Advanced Carbon Nanotechnology Program (ACNP)
partners five institutions including UK where Dr. Lumpp leads a
multidisciplinary team of faculty from Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Chemical and Materials Engineering, Chemistry and the Center for Applied Energy
Research.
Improving math and science education is the primary goal of
KEEP - Kentucky Electronics Education Project, a
program developed by Dr. Lumpp using microelectronics as a theme to connect core
concepts in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. Funding
from a UK Research Support Grant will sponsor a pilot program in the 04-05
academic year training student teachers to build circuit boards.
In the classroom, Dr. Lumpp teaches Circuits I (EE211),
Electronic Packaging (EE/MSE569),
Introduction to Lasers and Masers (EE/PHY567), the
Electrical and Computer Engineering freshmen seminar (EE101),
and a Multidisciplinary Sensors Laboratory (EE/CHE/CME/MSE664).
Dr. Lumpp has been at UK since 1993, received her PhD from The University of
Iowa and earned her BSMetE and MSMetE degrees from Purdue University. Her
publication and funding records indicate a variety of collaborations and
research areas. Funding sources include NSF, DARPA, ARL and NASA/EPSCoR.
