David,Peterson,Professor and Associate Department Head,"We are interested in the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in mammalian cells. Many of our experiments have focused on the transcription of the proviral genome of the retrovirus mouse mammary tumor virus, which is subject to both positive and negative control. A number of cellular proteins that are important for viral transcription have been identified, and we would like to define the precise roles of these proteins in establishing correct levels of viral gene expression. We are also exploring some specific questions related to the general mechanism of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II and the biochemical details of transcriptional regulation. In particular, we are developing assays to directly assess effects of transcriptional regulatory proteins on discrete steps in the initiation process, including transcription complex assembly, separation of the two strands of template DNA at the initiation site, and promoter clearance by the polymerase as it begins RNA synthesis.",Professor and Associate Department Head,Biochemistry and Biophysics,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n8186cf95

Debdeep,Pati,Associate Professor,"My research centers around methodological aspects of Bayesian statistics and its application to large scale complex data. I am particularly focused on developing methodology in a broad range of areas including semi-parametric density regression, shrinkage priors for anisotropic function estimation, variable selection with non-Gaussian errors, massive covariance matrix estimation, surface reconstruction and imaging and modeling shapes of non-Euclidean objects. I enjoy developing methodology that has an immediate motivation and impact to a particular application area, while being broadly applicable and leading to foundational questions. In the Bayes paradigm this often involves developing new classes of flexible prior distributions for densities, conditional densities, functions, sparse vectors, matrices or tensors. It is fascinating to explore the structure of the spaces on which the priors are supported while studying how the posterior concentrates as increasing amounts of data are collected. Studying these spaces becomes more challenging outside of unconstrained Euclidean spaces, such as in studying closed surfaces and other shapes, and when the dimension explodes. While Bayesian hierarchical models offer an unified and coherent framework for structured modeling and inference, two key challenges persist. First, as one moves away from simple parametric models, understanding properties of a posterior distribution poses a stiff challenge. Second, even if the true posterior has desirable properties, sampling from the posterior distribution in large scale problems commonly face scalability issues. This is relevant both for high-dimensional and big data problems. My research aims at addressing these challenges simultaneously, developing new theory to evaluate the associated procedures and developing scalable and highly efficient algorithms for Bayesian computation.",Associate Professor,Statistics,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/ndbea61f5

Dana,Porter,"Professor, Extension Program Leader and Associate Department Head","The Texas High Plains is the most intensively irrigated region of the state, with a notably high rate of adoption of efficient advanced irrigation technologies, driven by water limited conditions and supported by a well-developed and collaborative infrastructure of applied research, extension/ technology transfer, irrigation industry and progressive producers. High pumping costs, limited and declining well capacities, increasing localized water quality concerns, availability of new tools and technologies, and other technical, economic and regulatory issues present challenges and opportunities in agricultural irrigation and water management.
I work to promote water conservation and efficient water use through maximizing impact of applied research programs and information resources. Objectives of my programs are to 1) promote appropriate application of technologies, irrigation management tools and practices; 2) improve quality and value of agricultural research by improving understanding of irrigation technologies, BMPs and related crop water management concepts; and 3) provide relevant educational resources and opportunities for traditional and emerging audiences.
My background in crop simulation modeling (including soil water dynamics modeling) and utilization of agricultural and industrial waste materials (and effects on soil water dynamics) is useful in my current research programs. I develop/adapt technologies and practices that support water conservation and mitigate impacts of limited (and declining) water quantity and quality to promote sustainability and profitability of water-limited agricultural production. Accomplishments include advanced integrated irrigation scheduling and control technologies; improved irrigation management strategies for crop production under water-limited conditions; and practical evapotranspiration (ET) based irrigation scheduling tools supporting research programs, on-farm irrigation management and water resources management.","Agricultural Extension Specialist||Professor, Extension Agricultural Extension Specialist - Agricultural Water Management, Extension Program Leader and Associate Department Head",Biological and Agricultural Engineering||Lubbock Research and Extension Center,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nf4c9588c
David,Powers,Professor,"Catalysis lies at the heart of many unmet chemical challenges. Research efforts in our group focus on development of new catalytic chemistry to impact both chemical synthesis as well as chemical storage of solar energy. Projects span organic, organometallic, and inorganic chemistries and rely on the tools of modern synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy, as well as advanced characterization techniques supported at synchrotron X-ray sources. Representative research interests include: shape-selective catalysis, solar energy storage in organic solar-thermal flow batteries, and aerobic oxidation chemistry for C-H functionalization reactions. We are seeking students who wish to gain expertise in synthetic chemistry and reaction mechanism elucidation.",Professor||Faculty Affiliate,Energy Institute||Chemistry,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nfa6c8878
