Suzanne Brahmia
Education Research
Identify the learning objectives of second-year mathematical methods courses for physics majors and the math skills students bring into them, using interviews and samples of student work.
Steven Brunton
Engineering
Develop physics-aware machine learning methods that build physical laws and stability constraints into the models, producing interpretable models that work reliably for aerospace design and control.
Tristan Jordan
Microbiology & Immunology·Early-career
Characterize the immune-stimulating double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that build up when DR1, DRAP1 or BTAF1, proteins that limit pervasive transcription, are lost and trigger an interferon response in cells.
Patrick Mitchell
Microbiology & Immunology
Map the host and viral determinants required for rotavirus NSP1, a non-structural protein that suppresses interferon responses, to trigger activation of the human NLRP1 inflammasome.
David Koelle
Microbiology & Immunology
Expand the collection of varicella zoster virus-specific human monoclonal antibodies cloned from shingles skin biopsies and map their fine specificity against viral envelope, tegument, enzyme, and nuclear proteins.
