Roberto Paiella
Engineering
Design and fabricate dielectric metasurfaces on commercial CMOS sensor arrays to build a phase-imaging meta-sensor (PIMS) array that reconstructs optical phase quantitatively in a single shot.
Emiliano Dall'Anese
Engineering·Early-career
Design real-time controllers that approximate optimization-based safety filters using only local or limited measurements, keeping networked systems with partially known dynamics within operating limits.
Maria Kamenetska
Chemistry·Early-career
Build an all-optical microscope that uses optical tweezers to hold single molecules between two gold nanoparticles in solution. Test whether darkfield and Raman light signals reveal charge transport without force damage.
Markus Bosmann
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether the signaling protein GNB2 protects against Legionella pneumonia by deleting it in mouse myeloid cells and alveolar macrophages, then profiling lung immune cells with CITE-Seq and Visium HD spatial transcriptomics.
Medellena Glymour
Public Health & Epidemiology
Estimate how low-risk drinking, unhealthy drinking and alcohol use disorder each affect dementia risk, triangulating across ten cohorts, including Kaiser Permanente records and the UK Biobank, using doubly robust and instrumental variable methods.
