Zheng Ke
Mathematics & Statistics
Use a low-dimensional simplex structure found in the spectral domain of the data to develop new methods for fitting hierarchical topic models and dynamic network models.
Laura DeMarco
Mathematics & Statistics
Characterize the special subvarieties — geometric pieces preserved by the map — that arise in families of dynamical systems built from endomorphisms of algebraic varieties, aiming at a general classification within a unifying conjectural framework.
Ulrich H Von Andrian
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine how nociceptors (pain-sensing nerves) affect the growth and spread of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, using nerve ablation and chemogenetic silencing in orthotopic mouse models.
Christopher D Harvey
Neuroscience
Map effective connectivity among functionally identified neurons in the posterior parietal cortex during a virtual-reality navigation decision task, using cellular-resolution optogenetics to stimulate small groups of neurons and testing wiring motifs predicted by decision-making theories.
Aaron Landesman
Mathematics & Statistics
Make progress on the Cohen-Lenstra conjectures about class groups of quadratic fields over function fields by computing relevant homology groups with new topological tools.
