Olivier Desjardins
Engineering
Develop a piecewise-quadratic interface representation that captures liquid sheets and ligaments thinner than one simulation grid cell, so that computers can predict when and how liquids break apart.
Christine Goodale
Ecology & Evolution
Use long-term data from four Hubbard Brook monitoring sites to quantify how tree carbon allocation above and below ground has changed with shifts in soil nitrogen and phosphorus and their uptake by plants.
Chris Xu
Biomedical Engineering
Raise the three-photon fluorescence signal by about 10,000-fold through new lasers and imaging techniques, to image mouse brain activity with sub-cellular resolution at about 2 mm depth.
Ziv Scully
Computer Science·Early-career
Develop Gittins index acquisition functions for exotic Bayesian optimization problems, so that searches over possible AI models find higher-quality models with less training time and energy.
Mandy J Mcgeachy
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine how the interaction between PIP5K1a, an enzyme making the nuclear lipid PIP2, and ARS2, an mRNA cap-binding protein, is regulated as Th17 cells differentiate, using primary human T cells and CD28-humanized CD28A210P mice.
