Minghua Tang
Public Health & Epidemiology
Determine how meat-, dairy- and plant-based complementary diets affect infant growth from 5 to 12 months in a 300-infant randomized controlled feeding trial with longitudinal growth and body composition measures.
Melinda Smith
Ecology & Evolution
Measure how free-roaming bison change plant species makeup and diversity in Montana montane fescue grasslands, comparing 12 grazed plots with matched fenced plots before and after reintroduction.
Troy Ocheltree
Plant Science & Agriculture
Identify the networks of linked physiological traits that produce different drought-coping strategies in grasses, using a set of species that spans the entire grass family (Poaceae).
Ravi Mangal
Computer Science
Design quantitative metrics for evaluating code generated by large language models using symbolic execution, which explores program paths with symbolic inputs, and Bayesian program analyses that reason probabilistically about program behavior.
Jianguo Zhao
Engineering
Design modular morphing rods that pair a heat-driven artificial muscle with a variable-stiffness shape memory polymer, plus connectors that let the rods be assembled into reconfigurable 2D and 3D structures.
