About Tom Loughran

A social entrepreneur in an academic setting, I foster community in STEM education, civic life, and international development. After building a research community for high school students at a local school, I became Education Program Leader for I2U2, building online research communities in high energy physics, at Fermilab and eventually at the University of Notre Dame. I have been part of $5M in funding success since 2006, including the Notre Dame extended Research Community (NSF - GK12, $2.71M, reaching 500 teachers and 18,000 K-12 students). I inaugurated the Collaborating for STEM Education, Research and Commercialization Forum series, held annually from 2007 - 2020. I’ve been a regular peer reviewer for NSF since 2005, and served as chemistry advisor for the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence and the Indiana Department of Education. As part of my effort to integrate STEM community, I joined the enFocus Board of Directors (an innovative talent retention and development consultancy in South Bend, IN) and the OrthoWorx University Advisory Committee. These efforts to build community around STEM craft and culture have radiated into international development space. In 2006 I helped found the Board of Directors for BOSCO, Inc., an ICT4D project in Northern Uganda (in which connection I served on the advisory council for the Renewable, Innovative and Sustainable Electrification (RISE) project at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford); I still serve as vice president of the BOSCO Inc. board. Later I served as Co-PI and Uganda Country Manager for the Accenture-sponsored Connectivity for Education, Entrepreneurship and Electrification (CE3) project in Northern Uganda, working with the Pulte Institute for Global Development. These activities have involved guiding experiential learning activities for business students on well over a dozen projects with Accenture, HP, Dell, IBM, SunEdison, Google, and other corporate partners. More recently I have been researching and writing a book about social information processing, teaching physics lab courses to freshman majors, and curating/developing instructional resources in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Notre Dame.

These include curriculum design, professional development and integrated STEM community experiences for teachers, supporting them with platforms to invite their students into data analysis in high energy physics, molecular nanoelectronics, astrophysics, genetics, and high performance computing. On the international development side, these include networking for an enduring community response to the challenges of dignified globalization in post-conflict areas, integrating off-grid electrification, ICT-for-development resources, and support for business communities through education and financing.
