Reynolds and Reynolds Company has expanded its long-standing partnership with Wright State by creating a scholarship program for students entering the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The company plans to offer five $2,500 scholarships to computer science and engineering students each year. Reynolds hopes that these students will choose to stay in the Miami Valley and potentially work at the company after graduation.

Dr. Amit Sheth (CSE), LexisNexis Ohio Eminent Scholar at WSU, has been selected as one of 60 professors to receive an award as part of HP's 2009 Innovation Research Program.
The program is designed to create opportunities for colleges, universities and research institutes around the world to conduct collaborative research with HP. WSU's Kno.e.sis Center will collaborate with HP Labs on research focused on "techniques for guided search and browsing as well as classification and selection of information to improve information processing and knowledge sharing."
HP reviewed nearly 300 proposals from more than 140 universities in 29 countries on a range of topics within the eight high-impact research themes at HP Labs.

Paper co-authored by Drs. Doom and Raymer cited in supreme court ruling
WSU professors Travis Doom (CSE), Michael Raymer (CSE), and Dan Krane (BIO) were co-authors of a paper recently cited by Justice Samuel Alito in a written opinion of the United States Supreme Court. Drs. Doom, Krane, and Raymer have authored numerous papers on the analysis and interpretation of forensic DNA evidence in criminal cases.
In 2002, the three WSU professors co-founded the company Forensic Bioinformatics Services, Inc. (FBS) along with collaborators from academia and industry, and with the help of a Technology Transfer grant from the Wright State University. Since that time, FBS has reviewed DNA evidence in cases across the nation and throughout the world. In the case DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FOR THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT ET AL. v. OSBORNE, Justice Alito cites a 2003 paper co-authored by Drs. Doom, Krane, and Raymer to support the idea that the extreme sensitivity of modern DNA tests make forensic DNA evidence highly susceptible to contamination.
