Yusu Wang
Computer Science
Explain why trained flow-based and diffusion generative models generalize better than the theoretically optimal solution predicts, using geometry, ODE analysis, manifold learning and deep learning theory, to enable controlled generation of novel samples.
Robert Heath
Engineering
Build MIMO input-output models of dynamic metasurface antennas (low-power panels of tunable elements) that capture waveguide loss, coupling between elements and reconfiguration effects, using existing circuit and antenna models.
Jian Luo
Materials Science
Discover lead-free compositionally complex oxides, which mix several metal ions, with unusually large electrostriction, linking first-principles calculations, tensorial cluster expansion and physics-informed machine learning with experiments.
Michael J Sailor
Chemistry
Develop quantum metamaterials built from quantum clusters, particles and quantum wells that achieve ultrahigh optical nonlinearity and ultrafast response from terahertz to visible frequencies, guided by first-principles calculations and deep learning.
Arnaud Delorme
Neuroscience
Consolidate human EEG datasets from major international repositories into a single U.S.-hosted resource, linking each to its original source and pairing recordings with behavioral measures, stimulus events, response times and eye tracking.
