Noah Daniels
Computer Science
Develop the MEDFORD language and parser as a human-readable layer that converts researchers' metadata into popular machine-readable metadata standards and FAIR databases.
Haihan Yu
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop blended bootstrap techniques that merge subsampling (re-using smaller portions of the data) with the bootstrap (redrawing samples from the data), giving a general strategy for more accurate statistical inference.
Robert Campbell
Earth & Environmental Science
Assess the sources and sinks of trace metals (iron, manganese, copper, nickel, cadmium, zinc, lead) and microplastics in the East Siberian and Laptev seas, including the role of river input and sea ice.
Angela Slitt
Pharmacology
Determine whether albumin controls PFAS distribution among blood and tissues and their elimination half-lives, by comparing PFAS accumulation in albumin-knockout (Alb-/-) and wild-type mice.
Holly Morin
Earth & Environmental Science
Organize community workshops that form new science user groups and multidisciplinary collaborations around Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) ocean, seafloor and atmospheric data.
