Gaurav Kandlikar
Ecology & Evolution
Evaluate how long-term, frequent prescribed fire shapes the structure and function of soil microbial communities in longleaf pine ecosystems.
Robert Lipton
Mathematics & Statistics
Formulate fracture as a mathematically well-posed initial value problem, with displacement evolving under Newton's second law, so that damage and crack patterns emerge as the outcome of given starting displacements, velocities and time-varying boundary loads.
Tasnuva Farheen
Computer Science
Test whether quantum correlation measures, specifically quantum discord and entanglement of formation, indicate channel noise more informatively than fidelity alone in simulated noisy quantum links.
Bhuvnesh Bharti
Engineering·Early-career
Use large-scale simulations of coupled magnetic, hydrodynamic and contact interactions, plus analytical theory, to derive design rules for how micron-scale magnetic colloids aggregate and move cooperatively in porous media and open three-dimensional fluids.
Shuangqing Wei
Engineering
Generate a synthetic video dataset of tracheostomy-dependent infants to train privacy mechanisms, identity separation and recombination systems, and classifiers when real patient video is scarce.
