Question: Who chaired the research project that Kevin Henke was particularly critical of?

Context paragraphs:
Governor's School of Engineering and Technology: The Governor's School of Engineering and Technology, or GSET, is one of the six original schools that comprise the New Jersey Governor's School program.  Since its inception, the program has been held at Rutgers University in Piscataway, in Middlesex County, New Jersey and aims to educate scholars in the fields of engineering and technology.  This program is tuition-free and receives funding from sponsors, alumni, the state of New Jersey, Rutgers University, and others.  This 4-week residential summer program is academically intense and demanding with very little free time.  It typically runs from the end of June to the middle/end of July.  A typical student participates in two elective courses, along with the core courses of Physics, and Robotics.  Their schedule also includes keynote speakers, tours, enrichment activities, and a research project.  The research project is one of the main focuses of the program, in which students conduct research, design experiments, and write a professional research paper.  On the final day, a symposium is held to showcase the research, projects, and creations.  The symposium is open to both invited guests and the public.

Error 33: The term "error 33" is jargon for the failure due to predicating one research project on the success of another, or alternatively for allowing one's own research project to be on the critical path of another project.

LifeClipper: The project evolved into lifeClipper2 (Basel, 2006-2008), an interdisciplinary design research project chaired by the Institute for Research in Art and Design of the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland.  It explored the potential of augmented reality for project visualization, urban planning and tourism.

HIVE (virtual environment): The H.I.V.E. (Huge Immersive Virtual Environment) is a joint research project between the departments of Psychology, Computer Science, and Systems Analysis at Miami University.  The project is funded by a grant from the U.S. Army Research Office and is currently the world's largest virtual environment in terms of navigable floor area (currently over 1200m).  The goal of the research project is to conduct experiments in human spatial cognition.

Amboseli Elephant Research Project: The Amboseli Elephant Research Project is a long-term research project on the ethology of the African elephant, operated by the nonprofit Amboseli Trust for Elephants.  The project studies the elephant's social behavior, age structure and population dynamics.  It is the longest running study of elephant behavior in the wild, and has gathered data on life histories and association patterns for more than 1700 individual elephants.

RATE project: The RATE project (Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth) was a research project conducted by the Creation Research Society and the Institute for Creation Research between 1997 and 2005 to assess the validity of radiometric dating and other dating techniques in the light of the doctrine of a recent creation.  It was funded by $250,000 from the Institute for Creation Research and over $1 million in donations.  The RATE team was chaired by Larry Vardiman (meteorology) and included Steven A. Austin (soft rock geology), John Baumgardner (geophysics), Steven W. Boyd (Hebrew), Eugene F. Chaffin (physics), Donald B. DeYoung (physics), Russell Humphreys (physics) and Andrew Snelling (hard rock geology).

Kevin Henke: Kevin R. Henke is an American geochemist and former instructor at the University of Kentucky's department of Geology.  He currently works as a senior research scientist at the University of Kentucky's Center for Applied Energy Research.  He is well known for his criticism of young earth creationism and the scientific arguments they make for a young earth.  In particular, he has been critical of the RATE project's results, which claim to show that zircons contain too much helium to be billions of years old, and has argued that Russell Humphreys, a young-earth creationist who was involved in the project, has made errors in his research.  These flaws include that, according to Henke, "The vast majority of Humphreys et al.'s critical a, b, and Q/Q0 values that are used in these "dating" equations are either missing, poorly defined, improperly measured or inaccurate."  Henke has also accused Humphreys of misidentifying his specimens, fudging his data, and not considering the possibility of helium contamination in this research.  He has also criticized John Woodmorappe for arguing that radiometric dating is unreliable.  On one occasion, Henke called Kent Hovind on the phone regarding Hovind's $250,000 challenge to "prove" evolution.  Hovind told Henke that in order to win the money he would have to recreate the Big Bang in a laboratory.  Henke responded by proposing several alternative "proofs" that pertained to geology (his field of expertise), but Hovind refused, saying that the project must be chosen by him and it must not pertain to the area in which Henke has scientific expertise.  Hovind therefore required Henke to prove that dogs and bananas had a common ancestor, and lowered the award to only $2,000 should he succeed.  Henke accepted the challenge, and later drafted a contract, which was then posted on Talk.origins.  However, one of Henke's requirements was that the judges be unbiased, and Hovind rejected the challenge for this reason, insisting that he should be the only one who can choose the judges.

Monolake: Monolake is a German electronic music project, consisting of members Gerhard Behles and Robert Henke, Monolake is now perpetuated by Henke while Behles focuses on running music software company Ableton, which they founded in 1999 together with Bernd Roggendorf.  From 2004, Torsten Pröfrock became a member of Monolake.

Research: Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic basis to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications."  It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories.  A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field.  Research projects can be used to develop further knowledge on a topic, or in the example of a school research project, they can be used to further a student's research prowess to prepare them for future jobs or reports.  To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole.  The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge.  Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences.  There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc.

Zeresenay Alemseged: Zeresenay (Zeray) Alemseged (born 4 June 1969) is an Ethiopian paleoanthropologist and was Chair of the Anthropology Department at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, United States.  He recently joined the faculty of the University of Chicago.  He is best known for his discovery, on December 10, 2000, of Selam, also referred to as “Lucy’s child”, the almost-complete fossilized remains of a 3.3 million year old child of the species "Australopithecus afarensis".  The “world’s oldest child”, she is the most complete skeleton of a human ancestor discovered to date.  Selam represents a milestone in our understanding of human and pre-human evolution and contributes significantly to our understanding of the biology and childhood of early species in the human lineage; a subject about which we have very little information.  Alemseged discovered Selam while working with the Dikika Research Project (DRP), a multi-national research project, which he both initiated in 1999 and leads.  The DRP has thus far made many important paleoanthropological discoveries and returns to the field each year to conduct further important research.  Alemseged’s specific research centers on the discovery and interpretation of hominin fossil remains and their environments, with emphasis on fieldwork designed to acquire new data on early hominin skeletal biology, environmental context, and behavior.
