	...	Lin Receives NSF Grant to Research Mathematical Studies of Plasmonic Nanohole Resonances “Mathematically, the project addresses new types of mathematical problems in inverse problems and imaging,” Lin said. “Beyond that, the results of the proposed work are expected to provide physical experimentalists with essential mathematical tools to improve the performance and functionalities of nano-plasmonic sensors, and provide new avenues for super-resolution imaging.”
	...	Auburn Professor Co-Authors Publication on Sexual Dimorphism in Birds “The genetic basis for male and female differences is a fascinating topic,” Hill said. “In some bird species, males and females appear so different that they were originally classified as different species. Until our study, we could only speculate on what sorts of genes could cause males and females to have different plumage coloration.”
