Megan Holtz
Materials Science·Early-career
Control symmetry and symmetry-breaking in the polar ordering of hexagonal ABO3 oxides using atomically precise molecular beam epitaxy, aiming to stabilize new ferroelectric functions and emergent phenomena.
Collin Sutton
Earth & Environmental Science
Develop a reduced-order, bipartite graph framework that captures the essential flow, solute transport and geochemical reactions in fractured rock without the cost of full-physics simulation.
Yamuna Phal
Chemistry
Build a mid-infrared imaging instrument capable of non-destructive, spatially resolved analysis of chiral drug interactions inside biological tissues, using molecules' infrared absorption as a chemical fingerprint.
Erdal Ozkan
Engineering
Test whether CO2 at oil-wall interfaces and its gradient along pore walls control oil-CO2 transport in nanopores, using membrane and real rock core experiments with molecular and continuum simulations.
