https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2020/02/27/university-tennessee-professor-charged-defrauding-nasa/4896613002/ A researcher at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville was arrested Thursday on federal charges he defrauded the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by hiding his dual employment with a Chinese university, authorities said. Anming Hu, an associate professor in UT's Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering, faces three counts of wire fraud and three counts of making false statements, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice. A federal law, enacted in 2011, prohibits NASA from using appropriated funds on projects in collaboration with Chinese companies or universities.Hu stands accused of forcing a violation of that law by lying to UT and omitting information about his affiliation with a university run by the Chinese government. He caused UT to falsely certify to NASA that it was in compliance with the law, prosecutors allege.Anming Hu (Photo: Provided / UTK)
Hu was suspended by UT on Thursday and may face termination. Hu moved to Knoxville from Canada after being hired by UT in November 2013. In the resumé he submitted with his application, Hu failed to mention he worked at the Beijing University of Technology's Institute of Laser Engineering, according to a federal indictment. He also didn't disclose the position when he applied for tenure.
