Kexin Li
Engineering
Develop a cryogenic compact model for gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) by extending an existing quasi-ballistic model. Capture how electron transport, self-heating and charge trapping change as temperature drops.
Yang Weng
Engineering·Early-career
Develop reduced-order models of data-center power electronics showing how converters, control loops and energy storage shape the load and impedance seen by the electric grid.
Bruno Sinopoli
Engineering
Establish closed-loop stability guarantees for REAP solvers, optimization methods that return a safe, feasible answer even when stopped early, and develop ways to implement them on discrete-time digital hardware.
Xin Xu
Materials Science
Test how the plasma electron energy distribution function, the spread of energies among free electrons in an ionized gas, affects electrochemical surface reactions on metal-air conversion cathodes.
Alexandra Pye
Earth & Environmental Science
Reconstruct the tectonic and thermal history of mountains near the California–Arizona border by combining field observations, laboratory analyses of rock samples, and structural and thermal modeling.
