Qi An
Materials Science
Build a closed-loop AI platform that compares Bayesian optimization (choosing the most informative next test) with deep reinforcement learning (trial-and-reward learning) for designing the high-entropy carbide (Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta)C, using machine-learning force-field atomistic simulations.
Berk Gulmezoglu
Computer Science
Develop automated methods to discover and describe how little-studied low-level hardware behaviors in virtual and augmented reality devices can create side-channels that leak private user data.
Pablo Raúl Stinga
Mathematics & Statistics
Establish the analytical theory of surfaces of minimum mean curvature variation, smoothly bending surfaces used in data interpolation, image repair and hull design, including well-posedness and regularity of their equations.
Sougata Roy
Materials Science·Early-career
Reveal how solidification cracks start and grow in aluminum printed by laser directed energy deposition (L-DED), and how large cracks relate to pores in deposited parts.
Yiliang Liao
Engineering
Determine how the evolving, uneven thermal environment of a hot liquid support bath controls polymer diffusion and interlayer fusion in embedded printing, using deep-neural-network molecular dynamics, phase-field modeling, and experiments.
