Daniel Ibarra
Earth & Environmental Science
Reconstruct the tectonic and water history of Clayton Valley, Nevada, by constraining when crustal stretching, volcanism, sediment filling and fault activity occurred, to better identify where its lithium came from.
Jeremy Kahn
Mathematics & Statistics
Determine whether three or four definitions of a surface subgroup being "closely aligned" with an sl_2(R) subgroup, inside lattices of semi-simple Lie groups, are mathematically equivalent.
Yusong Bai
Physics·Early-career
Establish correlated electronic states and electric-field-controlled metal-insulator transitions in heterostructures where ordered nanocrystal superlattices impose periodic potentials on atomically thin materials, using low-temperature electrical transport.
Anne Hart
Genetics
Identify conserved suppressor genes, which reduce the defects caused by a mutation, in newly developed C. elegans models carrying common ATP1A3 mutations found in patients with Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood, using a functional genetic approach.
Ou Chen
Chemistry
Test whether ultrathin perovskite nanowires can be built up from single metal-halide octahedra under mild, slow conditions, using in situ and ex situ characterization to reveal how they grow.
