Anthony Sicilia
Computer Science
Develop a Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning theory that measures how user disagreement, suggestions and topic shifts change the calibration of an AI system's confidence during a conversation.
Martin Hruska
Neuroscience
Test how acute amyloid-beta affects PSD-95 stability in spines with different numbers of nanomodules. Use live-cell STED super-resolution imaging, with CRISPR tags on the neurons' own PSD-95 and AMPA receptors.
Visvanathan Ramamurthy
Neuroscience
Identify the best AAV gene therapy regimen for PROM1-associated blindness, delivering working gene copies with a harmless virus in animal models that mimic the disease and measuring retinal light responses by electrophysiology.
James Walton
Neuroscience
Support basic and translational stroke research by providing rodent behavioral testing, design and analysis expertise to evaluate how well new treatments preserve or restore brain function after stroke.
Aldo Romero
Materials Science
Extend the DMFTwDFT code into a unified open-source framework combining DFT, DFT+U and dynamical mean field theory on the VASP and SIESTA codes, supporting both collinear and noncollinear magnetic configurations.
