Rupa Haldavnekar
Biomedical Engineering
Develop a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing approach, a light-based method that reads molecular fingerprints, to detect subtle blood-based changes signaling early ovarian tumor formation.
Chengsi Liu
Earth & Environmental Science
Develop a machine-learning-guided adaptive inflation method that corrects under-dispersive ensembles (forecast sets that are too similar to one another) in storm regions during radar data assimilation.
Susan Schroeder
Plant Science & Agriculture
Map dihydrouridine (DHU) on mRNAs at single-nucleotide resolution across tissues and stress conditions in Arabidopsis, using Oxford Nanopore direct RNA sequencing with machine-learning detection algorithms.
Marmar Moussa
Computer Science·Early-career
Model and predict which T-cell receptors are activated by neoepitope vaccination in MethA and MC38 mouse tumor models, using single-cell TCR sequencing paired with DNA-barcoded peptide–MHC dextramers that report what each cell binds.
Jian Zhao
Biomedical Engineering
Build and validate O-MIR microscopy, which pairs nanosecond-pulsed mid-infrared photothermal imaging with intensity diffraction tomography, to image chemical bonds in 3D at about 250 nm lateral resolution using microsphere and fatty acid test samples.
