Labs here
Xijin Zhang
Engineering
Design biomolecules that control how silicate minerals dissolve and re-form, using first-principles and AI-guided computational chemistry, then synthesize and genetically engineer the selected molecules.
Pouya Rezai
Engineering
Relate the composition and structure of bio-imprinted superabsorbent polymers (BioISAPs) to their swelling and fluid-transport behavior through systematic synthesis and characterization.
Lizhi Wang
Engineering
Predict crop traits from genetic, management and environmental data by identifying a small subset of variables that interact as well as act additively, using machine learning and statistical selection methods.
Hemant Purohit
Computer Science
Build a dynamic knowledge graph using probabilistic graphical models that combines sensor data, citizen movement and infrastructure interdependencies such as power and transportation to predict risks to emergency shelters.
Jhumka Gupta
Public Health & Epidemiology
Develop and user-test EA$E-US, a U.S. version of the Economic And Social Empowerment couples program, for forcibly displaced Congolese couples using the ADAPT-ITT adaptation framework.
