The Office of Research and External
Support (ORES) is a unit within the Office
of Academic Affairs (OAA) created to serve
the scholarly and creative activities of faculty,
students, and staff. Our mission is to facilitate
the procurement of external support through
research grants, contracts, and technical
assistance agreements; to administer internal
support for research; and to document and
publicize the scholarly achievements of
members of the IPFW community.
The Office of Research and External Support is pleased to present the sixth annual report of research activities at IPFW. Total awards during the 2006–07 fiscal year exceeded $5.2 million, with applications for new funding exceeding $17 million.
Federal funding in support of research and student services activities represents an essential component of the university’s support, and for the first time, funding from federal sources represents the largest category of support received.
The growth in federal grant and contract activity is the result of a strategic plan to target funding sources that support the facilities and administrative costs of university operation. By contributing directly to the growth of the institution through their receipt of federal funding, our researchers are not only supporting their own work, but they are also making an essential contribution to the economy of northeast Indiana.
As a regional comprehensive university, IPFW is committed to providing both an outstanding educational experience for our students as well as supporting the creation of new knowledge through the scholarly achievements of our faculty. In this report, you will find a profile of IPFW’s Outstanding Researcher 2007, James Lutz, who is from the Department of Political Science. Other faculty profiles include professors Suining Ding from the Department of Manufacturing & Construction Engineering Technology and Interior Design, Jeffrey Nowak from the School of Education, and Robert Visalli from the Department of Biology.
I invite you to take a moment to read the profiles of these creative individuals as well as to review the wide range of projects that have received extramural funding. I offer my heartfelt congratulations to the faculty and staff who have so greatly contributed to the growth and success of our university.
Carl N. Drummond, Ph.D. Associate Vice Chancellor for Research

Terrorism is a timely subject for Americans,
particularly in the context of 9/11 and the
ensuing U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan
and Iraq. James Lutz, professor of political
science and chair of the Department of
Political Science, has garnered worldwide
renown as an authority on the subject.
Lutz’s interest in terrorism began long
before those events. He taught a course on
comparative political violence in the early
1980s, where the topic of terrorism was
a small component. By 1998, Lutz says
he refocused his research interests and
developed the theme of terrorism into its own
course. “I started working on textbooks and
other writings because of what I perceived
to be misperceptions. Not just in academics
but what was out there in textbooks was
just inadequately portrayed,” Lutz says.
“Terrorism wasn’t put in the appropriate
context in my mind.”
Terrorism has far-reaching implications,
he says. “My research has a lot to do with
the way we look at terrorism—not just the
Middle East, not just Islam, and not just
9/11,” Lutz says. “All of those are part of a
broader context. These are very significant
political issues—not just to our government
but governments around the world.”
The depth of Lutz’s insight about terrorism is
revealed in his remarkable body of research.
He is the author or coauthor of six books,
more than 15 book chapters, and numerous
scholarly articles. Lutz is a sought-after
speaker for both academic and political
venues, and is IPFW’s first Richard Lugar
Scholar, working closely with political
science student-researchers. He is often
quoted as an expert on terrorism in a variety
of news media. He also serves on the
advisory board of the Homeland Security
Institute at Purdue University.
Lutz and his wife, Brenda, a research
associate at the IPFW Decision Sciences and
Theory Institute, have completed two books
about terrorism and terrorists, with another to
be published this year. The Lutzes’ first book,
Global Terrorism, was considered a landmark
textbook, and they are now updating it for a
second edition. They also cowrote Terrorism:
Origins and Evolution and the newly released
Terrorism in the United States. The new book
focuses on terrorism in a historical context
in the United States, Lutz says. “There’s a
surprising larger amount of examples of
terrorism than we would conventionally
believe. Most people think of the KKK, but
there are the anti-Catholic campaigns of the
1830s and 1840s, the violent acts in the
Stamp Act, and the Boston Tea Party leading
to the onset to the American Revolution.”
The Lutzes have also collaborated on
numerous articles about terrorism. These
have focused on political violence in the
Roman Empire, the conflict between the Irish
Republican Army and the British government,
and the treatment of gypsies during the
Holocaust. They are also creating a four-
volume collection of articles to be used as a
library reference work.
Despite having a rigorous research schedule,
Lutz greatly values his role as teacher and
mentor. In fact, he believes that research
and teaching go hand-in-hand. “Research
has been important for me because it
reinforces what I teach,” he says. “One of
the things that’s intriguing about teaching
is that you present to people who will leave
the classroom with greater knowledge of the
subject, and you never know down the road
what the impact is going to be.”
Clearly, that impact has already been
deeply felt—by students, by colleagues,
and by the world.

Suining Ding advances the public’s
perception about interior design, from a
field that’s limited to fabric swatches and
wallpaper samples to one that involves the
use of high-tech software and quantitative
data to produce scientific findings.
Today’s computer-generated 3-D models
are used extensively in all types of design
practices. This includes 3-D renderings that
allow interior designers and their clients to
visualize a new design concept by virtually
“walking through” a new space before it
is commissioned. However, there is limited
information on how people perceive color
and texture in a computer-generated 3-D
model compared to the real color scheme
and texture of building materials.
This potential disparity between what’s
indisputable and what’s interpreted could
lead to misrepresentations, as architects
and designers present design concepts
using virtual 3-D models. This investigation
is the premise of Ding’s research. “Users
could end up with improper materials and
improper color schemes and textures,” says
Ding, assistant professor of interior design.
“Because of these different perceptions, it
could cause mistakes or even failures in the
design process.” And as any architect or
designer can attest, mistakes such as these
often translate into lost time and money.
Therefore, it is essential to determine
how accurate people’s color and texture
perceptions are in virtual 3-D models.
Ding is attempting to measure any
actual discrepancies using quantitative
data collection and statistical analyses.
Her conclusions will assist designers
determine whether or not digital 3-D model
presentations of color and texture are an
appropriate tool for clients who are making
design decisions and, if not, what possible
solutions exist to remedy any problems.
Previous studies with 3-D renderings of
this nature recommend using computer-
generated presentations with caution
because client perception of the spaces
can be inaccurate. These studies indicate
that different perceptions of distance and
luminosity are commonplace between
virtual environments and real, physical
environments. For example, females
commonly perceive distances to be
shorter than males.
Ding’s current focus compliments work
done with a 2006 Purdue Research
Foundation Summer Faculty Grant. With
that support, she explored innovative design
methods using Boolean operations in
AutoCAD, a 2- and 3-D design and drafting
software program. “A number of 3-D models
were created with the support of the summer
grant,” Ding says. “They will be used in
the testing sessions for color and texture
perception in my current project.”
As Ding continues her research, the results
will add valuable suggestions to the body
of knowledge in computer-aided design.
She anticipates publishing her findings in
the International Journal of Architectural
Computing and the Journal of Interior
Design—top-tier journals in the computer-
aided design and interior design fields. She
is also writing a textbook, Modeling and
Visualization with AutoCAD, which is set for
publication in 2008 and will feature several
of the digital 3-D models rendered during her
2006 research.

It’s not unusual to find Jeff Nowak conducting
science experiments as he prepares future
teachers. Now he’s expanding this role by
pursuing experiments of a broad, long-term
nature that will produce scientific “brain gain”
to northeast Indiana and beyond. As associate
professor of elementary education, he’s
attempting to influence the human capital
that may one day seek high-knowledge, high-
paying careers.
In elementary schools, science education
has been almost nonexistent, Nowak says,
even though science has been proven to
serve as a unifying platform for reading,
writing, and arithmetic. The No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001 mandates that teachers
train students to be scientifically literate, yet
the law provides no additional funding or
resources for the schools to train teachers to
do this effectively.
As a service-learning component of his
teaching at IPFW, Nowak is using East Allen
County Schools and Foellinger Foundation
grants to start a pilot program with children at
Southwick Elementary School, a high minority,
low socio-economic school on Fort Wayne’s
southeast side. “The desired outcome is
to see marked improvement in test scores
during the course of the three-year project,”
Nowak says. “Of course, administrative
changes, teacher mobility, and the high rate
of student mobility within Title I schools like
Southwick are challenges to be overcome.”
Nowak’s initiative—known as the Southwick
Science Integration for Teaching Excellence
Project, or Southwick SITE Project—is an
inquiry-based pedagogical approach to
science, which emphasizes “hands-on,
minds on” teaching and learning. He is
providing a series of in-service workshops for
teachers who feel ineffective while teaching
science and is establishing meaningful
activities through local informal science
education centers such as the Fort Wayne
Children’s Zoo, Foellinger-Freimann Botanical
Conservatory, and Science Central.
“Once the benefits of training teachers in
this pedagogy are evidenced from the SITE
Project and published for all to read,” Nowak
says, “school corporations will have no
choice but to see that training teachers to
effectively use inquiry-based instructional
strategies is not a nicety—but a necessity.”
Nowak says that his involvement in other
statewide schools has yielded improved
standardized test scores. This need to
re-invest in the teaching of science—as
well as technology, engineering, and math,
collectively known as STEM—serves an
importance that is greater than just achieving
higher test scores. This need speaks to the
nature of the 21st century’s information
based economy.
“Unfortunately, American students are losing
ground to their international peers,” Nowak
says. He also cites U.S. Department of
Labor statistics that jobs requiring training
in STEM will increase between 1998 and
2008, growing four times faster than overall
job growth. “To help combat this trend in
our area, I’ve been working with regional
business alliances, school systems, informal
education centers, and public media centers
to establish the Northeast Indiana Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math Education
Resource Center,” he adds. Nowak’s
aspirations in the classroom and beyond will
help inspire students to pursue opportunities
in the high technology fields of the future.

The nature of Robert Visalli’s research
is contagious in both a literal and
figurative sense.
Visalli, an assistant professor of biology, has
studied the biology of the Herpesviridae since
1986. His work has focused on eight different
human herpes pathogens, all capable of
causing serious illness or death, especially in
people with compromised immune systems.
Some of his most influential research
began at Wyeth-Ayerst Research, a major
pharmaceutical company, where Visalli was
a full-time researcher in the 1990s. “I was
asked to join that company for antiviral drug
discovery for herpes viruses,” he says. “These
viruses can kill people—there are more
deadly pathogens than just the STD form or
the cold sore that a lot of us get. My group
discovered a set of antiviral compounds that
inhibited a herpes virus known as varicella-
zoster virus. That’s the virus that causes
chicken pox and also reactivates shingles—a
very serious disease.”
That discovery was
especially significant
because of the way the
virus was inhibited. As they
studied the mechanism
by which herpes viruses
package their DNA genomes,
they found that they could
prevent the virus from
replicating by preventing
the genes from moving into
the host’s shell. That finding
was unprecedented, allowing
for the creation of nontoxic
drugs to treat herpes
patients. “As we understand
more and more about the
process, we might be able to discover drugs
that prevent the replication of those viruses
for which there are really no good antivirals
and certainly no vaccines,” Visalli says.
At IPFW, he received a National Institutes
of Health grant to study “Varicella-zoster
virus DNA encapsidation proteins.” His
findings with this research and through other
endeavors have been published in numerous
scholarly journals, and he has presented
his work at several academic meetings and
conventions. He’s also been interviewed by
various news media as an authority on the
biology of viruses.
Visalli’s transition into academia in 2003—
when he became an IPFW professor—hasn’t
changed his passion for research. In fact,
he continues to study the same issues he
explored at Wyeth. What has changed is his
involvement with promising young student-
biologists. “Working at Wyeth was great, but
I wasn’t interacting with people the way I
wanted to,” Visalli says. “I just felt it was time
to change that.”
In Visalli’s lab at IPFW, students receive
one-on-one mentoring and cutting-edge
research experience. “I would say the
students do 90 percent of the experiments I
do in my lab,” he says. They’re also learning
to make their own discoveries—several
have published their research findings and
have been recognized with prestigious
awards. This includes recent graduate Denise
Nicolosi, who, under Visalli’s tutelage, was
awarded two American Society for Biology
Undergraduate Research Fellowships during
different years. “I can’t tell you how rare
this is,” Visalli says. “I’ve never heard of it
happening to the same student and mentor
twice in that student’s short undergraduate
career. Keep in mind this isn’t only for small
schools—Yale, Columbia, and other schools
like them, entered too.”

Overseas Conference Fund grants are offered by IPFW, Indiana University’s Office of International Programs, and the Purdue Research Foundation. These grants partially offset the costs for faculty members to present the results of their research in venues that gain international recognition for them and the university. This year, 24 faculty members received awards totaling $14,200.
IPFW and other Indiana University programs: In addition to the overseas travel grants, IPFW and various IU offices provided research support to 20 faculty members totaling $542,137.

The Office of Research and External
Support (ORES) is a unit within the Office
of Academic Affairs (OAA) created to serve
the scholarly and creative activities of faculty,
students, and staff. Our mission is to facilitate
the procurement of external support through
research grants, contracts, and technical
assistance agreements; to administer internal
support for research; and to document and
publicize the scholarly achievements of
members of the IPFW community.
