Congratulations to Dr. Jamie Voyles on receiving the College of Science’s Hyung Shin Research Award for her outstanding research in the College of Science during the past three years (2017-2019). Dr. Voyles' disease ecology work focuses on the effects of chytrid fungi on amphibian populations, an important area of research as the disease has been implicated in amphibian population declines worldwide. Her hard work and remarkable science is clear from a variety of metrics, including articles published in Science, PNAS, and other excellent journals; more than 3600 citations; over $5 million in extramural research funding, including a highly prestigious NSF CAREER award; and media coverage from more than 50 media outlets.
"Matt is an outstanding teacher and mentor, an amazing researcher, and a fantastic departmental citizen. He has extensive extramural funding and has published more than 100 papers. His papers have been cited more than 6000 times including more than 800 times in 2019 alone.... Anyone who knows Matt knows that he is an extraordinary colleague. His selection as Foundation Professor is very well deserved." - Jack Hayes, Department Chair
