American business executive Harvey Goldstein leads PT Harvest International Indonesia as its chairman. He has built up more than 40 years of experience at the helm of major projects dealing with technology, natural resources development, consulting, and investment in Indonesia and the Southeast Asian region. In addition, Harvey Goldstein remains dedicated to assisting promising but under-resourced students in their educations, and has funded full scholarships for some of Singapore’s brightest young men and women to attend Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth.
His commitment to Johns Hopkins University (JHU), and its current president, Ronald J. Daniels, is noteworthy. Daniels has developed the 141-year-old research university’s considerable capabilities even further, with an extensive focus on collaboration across disciplines.
In 2017, JHU presented its latest round of Discovery Awards to 26 interdisciplinary faculty research teams. The awards, comprising 23 Category 1 and three Category 2 prizes, span nine of the school’s academic divisions. JHU’s Category 1 awards offer $100,000 to each recipient team for collaborative efforts that cross divisional boundaries. The quarter-million-dollar Category 2 awards are designated as project planning monies, to be used in support of applications for large-scale external grants.
The 2017 roster of Discovery Award recipients includes teams working on projects that include the use of innovations in DNA sequencing to diagnose infections, the investigation of the role of hydrogels in assisting post-stroke recovery, and an inquiry into whether metadata gathered from mobile communications devices can help trace demographic shifts in the developing world.
