With the support of the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program in the Chemistry Division and the NSF EPSCoR Program, Professor Stevenson, of the Chemistry Department at the University of Southern Mississippi, will explore the chemistry of metallic nitride caged fullerenes (MNFs). Areas to be investigated include the plasma arc synthesis of new nanoclusters, their purification, functionalization of their electronically charged cage surfaces, and molecular modeling to determine reactivity. Extensive collaborations will explore these MNF nanomaterial derivatives for applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and pharmaceuticals.With the support of the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program in the Chemistry Division and the NSF EPSCoR Program, Professor Stevenson will pursue an educational strategy designed to improve traditionally low student test scores. This strategy will target high school and lower-level undergraduate women and underrepresented minorities. Stevenson will work synergistically with state and local institutions to provide a program that fosters discovery and learning through integration of research and education.

在化学部的有机和大分子化学计划和NSF EPSCoR计划的支持下，南密西西比大学化学系的史蒂文森教授将探索金属氮化物笼状富勒烯（MNF）的化学。 待研究的领域包括等离子弧合成新的纳米团簇，其纯化，其带电笼表面的功能化，和分子建模，以确定反应性。广泛的合作将探索这些MNF纳米材料衍生物在光电子学，光电子学和制药业的应用。在化学系的有机和大分子化学计划和NSF EPSCoR计划的支持下，史蒂文森教授将追求一种旨在提高传统低学生考试成绩的教育策略。 这一战略将针对高中和低年级大学女生以及代表性不足的少数民族。 史蒂文森将与州和地方机构协同工作，提供一个通过研究和教育的整合促进发现和学习的计划。
