Dr. Liao’s research projects range from basic fire science (material flammability, solid pyrolysis, ignition, microgravity combustion, flame spread, etc.) to understanding fire behavior in specific situations (such as structures, spacecraft, or wildland fires). Her work has been supported by NSF, NASA, CASIS, and UL. She currently serves on the Board of Advisors in the Central State Section of the Combustion Institute. From 2013-2014, Dr. Liao worked on thermal fluids and two-phase flow problems in the petroleum industry as a consultant and as a thermo-fluids

Who teaches RDM can vary just asmuch as the audience: librarians teaching alone or in teams, librarian and faculty combinations,librarian and IT professionals, and any combination of the above including guest speakers. Often,there is preparatory work that may include interviews, laboratory reviews, surveys or other toolsthat aid in getting informative information to facilitate the work toward RDM instruction.

Justificationfor implementing a local GIS support site at this campus focused on the geographically dispersednature of the Penn State Campus Libraries and the limitations of data communications networksto carry large graphical data packets across campuses during laboratory exercises or geospatialresearch activities. Another consideration was the inability of local librarians to provide adequatesupport to users if GIS software and data were operated on a remote system.The library viewed the GIS initiative as an opportunity to potentially expand services andsupport to other disciplines throughout the campus. “Providing GIS Support through the librariesgives all

However, graduate studenteducation in data curation skills is patchy and frequently reliant on the advisor professor to teachthose skills. For professors who are learning the skills themselves, it is difficult to teach allnecessary skills across the data lifecycle. Additionally, not all graduate students work directlywith an individual advisor in a laboratory. Fellowship students, who are expected to create theirown research plan, may be missed by lab-based data management training. Add in the fact that
