Ziran Wang
Engineering·Early-career
Determine how visual attention, spoken language and physical actions reveal a vehicle occupant's cognitive state during interaction with automation, using behavioral sensing.
Yang Yang
Neuroscience
Map how loss of Scn2a changes neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex, a social-behavior hub, using brain-slice patch-clamp recordings of synaptic excitation and inhibition plus Neuropixels high-density probes to record firing in behaving mice.
Kwang Kim
Neuroscience
Train and validate machine learning classifiers that predict upcoming stuttering moments from electroencephalography (EEG), brain-wave recordings, collected while adults who stutter are speaking.
Xiulin Ruan
Engineering
Use high-throughput machine learning to identify the optical constants needed for high visible transparency and low infrared emissivity, and how dopant choice and doping level in n-PBDF can achieve them.
Raymond Yeh
Computer Science·Early-career
Develop semi-parametric vision architectures that consult training examples during prediction, so each output can be traced to specific data, combining deep network accuracy with k-nearest-neighbor transparency.
