                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 31, 2014

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate math professor 
Dr. Andrew Woldar and Villanova University for winning a research grant 
from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
   Professor Woldar's project on algebraic graph theory was recognized 
by the NSF for its important contribution to the mathematical sciences. 
This grant will support a conference at Villanova University in June 
2014, which will bring together experts, researchers and students to 
discuss recent advancements in mathematics. Professor Woldar and 
Villanova University's dedication to the field and leadership in 
teaching continue to prepare students with the technical background 
they will need for successful careers.
   The NSF is a leading, independent national academy promoting the 
progress of science through research programs and education projects. 
NSF grants help recognize individuals for their contributions to the 
mathematics and science communities. I commend the NSF for its 
continued support of innovative research.
   Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Professor Woldar for his hard work and 
wish him the best of luck with the conference.
