Patrick and two colleagues at the University of New Mexico just won a grant from the National Science Foundation. You can read about it here.

Congratulations to the team!
George, you should have written “two female colleagues” – there aren’t too many women in computer science – or is the situation different in the USA?
Wolf, women are under-represented in the sciences over here. But things are slowly changing.
Colleagues are colleagues, gender shouldn’t matter, humans are humans.
I have no idea what they’re working on, but it sounds important! Please send Patrick (the OTHER Dr. Kelley around here) my congratulations and best wishes for a successful project.
Deb, thanks for you kind words! I’m proud of Patrick and his colleagues. This is the first time the University of New Mexico has won a National Science Foundation grant in this area. Historic!
Congratulations! I’d be even more impressed if I had the slightest understanding of what they’re doing but this is pretty cool.
Jeff, Patrick and his friends are doing Deep Science.
George, many congratulations to your son and his team mates. A grant means they are doing something really meaningful and I wish them luck.
Prashant, I appreciate your congratulations for my son and his team mates. Winning a National Science Foundation grant is impressive!
Impossible to read an academic title and understand what it’s about but I am mightily impressed. That’s a lot of money. Universities like the overhead in grants like this so Patrick is doubly blessed with his achievement.
Patti, Patrick spends a big chunk of his time writing grant applications. I’m happy Patrick and his colleagues scored a Big One.
Very cool!
Bill, I think it’s cool, too!
FANTASTIC! (as in really, really good, not as in it’s a fantasy). I also don’t understand what “Planning, Collaborative Guidance and Navigation in Uncertain Dynamic Environments,” means, but it sounds like an advanced networking solutions inquiry/solution. Which is a good thing. You should be very proud of your son, George.
Rick, I’m very proud of both of my children. Patrick and Katie are both pursuing the work they love. I believe that’s a key to Happiness.
It sounds as if it has a connection to probabiilty theory – and from there on to game theory etc …
Those were the things I studied 50 years ago – but we had very limited access to a computer!
Oh, how times have changed – I almost envy the current generation of scientists – my wife’s nephew does “computational physics ” at Vanderbilt (vsiited him a few years ago – he had several big pcs under his conference table running the calculations of his team – yes teamwork is an even bigger component of work in science now. Good to have women on the team too!
What I also find very positive (one of the best sides of the USA) is the International flavour of the team – nice to speculate from their names where the members’ ancestors came from …
Are you of Irish descent, George?
Wolf, I’m Irish and Polish.
I understand a lot of their research involves summers on the Riviera, just Patrick and two babes. Must be rough.
Bob, now you know why I encouraged Patrick to get a Ph.D.!
Ask Dr K The Younger to explain the two-dollars-short-of-a-million amount of the award. I presume it has some bureaucratic significance; say a round million or more requires a higher level of auditing or something (e.g., the auditors have to be invited to come along on the Riviera junkets).
Art, I’m guessing you’re right on the money (literally!). Certain amounts trigger a different level of “oversight.”
Congratulations to Patrick and his cohorts!
Another Dr. Kelley makes good!
Beth, Patrick gives a lot of credit for the grant to his two colleagues. Thanks for your kind words!
From the UNM release “…Kelly recieved an NSF…”. Tsk, tsk, somebody teach these braniacs “i before e except after c”!
Art, the PR Department at UNM also misspelled Patrick’s name: it’s Kelley not “Kelly.”
