Hamed Tabkhi
Computer Science
Develop a semi-supervised transformer model that detects unusual or threatening behavior in real time from surveillance video. Use identity-neutral visual features so that no personally identifiable information is needed.
Rosario Porras-Aguilar
Engineering·Early-career
Build a mathematical framework for wavefront shaping, the control of light's phase front, that selectively enhances the spatial frequencies carrying information about a feature's size, shape, and orientation while suppressing background from small-angle scatter.
Adam Reitzel
Ecology & Evolution
Measure the extent of copy number variation in key immune genes across Nematostella vectensis populations using comparative genomics and transcriptomics.
Roger Tipton
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure PFAS concentrations, including the newest generation of these compounds, in Arctic Ocean seawater from the surface to 3,000 meters, using samples collected on an icebreaker transect from Alaska to Norway.
Sijia Zhang
Computer Science
Develop teaching materials on planning, configuring and using cloud computing resources and frameworks such as Hadoop and federated learning for educational analytics tasks.
