<p>An $8.3 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will fund an international team of scientists, including a �Ǹ�Թ� professor focused on finding new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent a critical global health problem: malnutrition in infants and children.</p>

<p>Assistant Professor Paul Romatschke of the �Ǹ�Թ� physics department will receive a five-year, $750,000 grant as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Early Career Research Program created to bolster the nation’s scientific workforce with top young researchers.</p>
<p>Romatschke was among 68 winners selected nationwide from a pool of 850 applicants from universities and national laboratories</p>
