Kendra Vehik
Public Health & Epidemiology
Identify early-life plasma microRNA signatures that predict future type 1 diabetes, using longitudinal blood samples from the TEDDY cohort of genetically at-risk children.
Guangjing Wang
Computer Science
Design a secure authentication framework to verify transmitters and receivers in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, where a single radio signal both senses and carries data, under zero-trust assumptions.
Patrick Rafter
Earth & Environmental Science
Test whether Indian Ocean bottom water was unusually old during the last ice age by comparing the radiocarbon ages of fossil shells with sediment ages in four new cores from across the basin.
Michael Francis
Medicine & Clinical Research
Determine whether injecting lactic acid into the knee joint capsule of rabbits with degenerated knees causes calcium pyrophosphate crystals to form, measuring crystal prevalence, metabolomics and phenomics.
Wenqi Liu
Chemistry·Early-career
Design and synthesize acyclic (open-chain) receptors that use ion-dipole and electrostatic interactions to bind lithium ions selectively over competing metal ions, and measure their binding in solution.
