Labs here
Chonglin Zhang
Engineering
Develop accurate, scalable algorithms for particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulations on unstructured meshes, which are flexible grids that fit complex device geometries, targeting GPU-accelerated supercomputers.
Kristyn Voegele
Education Research
Develop an immersive, self-paced online Virtual Field Trip built from imagery and media of real dinosaur paleontology fieldwork for high school and early-college classrooms.
Motoki Takaku
Genetics
Identify the nucleosome positions and shapes that let the pioneer factor GATA3 open chromatin and drive the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition in triple-negative breast cancer cells, using high-resolution nucleosome mapping.
Colin Combs
Neuroscience
Define oral health across age and disease stage in AppNL-G-F Alzheimer's model mice, including the oral microbiome, enamel thinning and cavities.
Corey Smith
