Julius De Rojas
Physics
Establish how voltage-driven migration of oxygen and lithium ions (magneto-ionics) changes spin-wave behavior in magnetic thin films, producing large changes that persist without power, measured with Brillouin light scattering and ferromagnetic resonance.
Avishek Mitra
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine how Rv0125, a protein Mtb releases outside the cell, strips heme from host hemoproteins such as hemoglobin, and whether it is a shared core component of the bacterium's heme uptake routes.
Antonius Oomens
Microbiology & Immunology
Build live single-cycle RSV vaccines that produce abundant viral antigen but cannot spread cell to cell, and therefore cannot revert to virulence even when immunity is suboptimal.
Crystal Johnson
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine how Christensenella reduces obesity by confirming the role of the appetite and fullness hormones GLP-1 and PYY, and use transcriptomics to find genes behind its partnership with the archaeon Methanobrevibacter smithii.
Ruiqing Shen
Engineering
Optimize thermo-responsive hydrogel formulations, gels that hold water and respond to heat, for thermal resistance, surface adhesion and cooling power as water-efficient fire suppressants.
