Vanderbilt professor, two visiting faculty receive 2001-02 Fulbright Scholar grants

A Vanderbilt professor and two foreign scholars who are currently conducting research at Vanderbilt have been named recipients of Fulbright Scholar grants for 2001-02.

Konstantin Kustanovich, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures, is visiting St. Petersburg, Russia, this year as a guest lecturer in Russian literature and culture at Nevsky Institute of Language and Culture.

On the Vanderbilt campus this year are Eimutis Juzeliunas, deputy director of the Institute of Chemistry in Vilnius, Lithuania, and Andrzej Kisielewicz, distinguished professor at the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Wroclaw in Poland.

Juzeliunas is conducting corrosion studies using a technique known as SQUID magnetometry. Kisielewicz is researching in the area of algebras, varieties and integer sequences.

Kustanovich is among approximately 800 U.S. faculty and professionals who received Fulbright grants to lecture or conduct research abroad. Juzeliunas and Kisielewicz are among a similar number of visiting scholars who received awards to come to the United States primarily as researchers.

The Fulbright Scholar Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, with additional funding from participating governments and host institutions in the United States and abroad. The current Fulbright scholars join the approximately 82,000 U.S. and foreign scholars who have participated in the program since its inception in 1946.
