Stella Alimperti
Biomedical Engineering
Test how implant-derived titanium particles and bacterial LPS weaken gum blood-vessel barriers through TLR4 (a bacterial sensor) and VEGF (a vessel-loosening signal) passed between fibroblasts and endothelial cells, using a 3D gingival microfluidic system.
Yili Zhang
Computer Science
Develop a large language model–based natural language processing pipeline that extracts immune-related adverse event evidence, type and grade from de-identified clinical notes, creating a reusable annotated corpus.
Jian-Young Wu
Neuroscience
Test whether patterned pinhole illuminators, built from glass-disk pinhole patterns or microlens arrays, reduce background light and strengthen calcium signals in brain tissue densely labeled with the calcium sensor GCaMP6f.
Aleksandr Golovnev
Computer Science·Early-career
Find explicit constructions of rigid matrices, which must have many entries changed to lower their rank, to better understand the power and limits of logarithmic-depth circuits.
Kathryn Taylor
Public Health & Epidemiology
Compare electronic quitline referral against a centralized health-system phone counseling plus nicotine replacement program for lung screening patients, measuring biologically verified quitting at 3 and 6 months.
