Fabian Faulstich
Mathematics & Statistics·Early-career
Recast periodic coupled-cluster theory as a nonlinear Petrov–Galerkin method for a pseudo-differential operator on a high-dimensional torus, in order to derive sharp error estimates for electronic-structure simulations of crystalline materials.
Kanad Basu
Engineering·Early-career
Develop an automated quantum circuit construction toolset supporting end-to-end design, including quantum state preparation and function synthesis from the gates available on modern quantum processors.
Sergei Nirenburg
Computer Science
Assess the commercial translation potential of a cognitive-robotics technology through experiential learning and first-hand investigation of the industry ecosystem.
Radoslav Ivanov
Computer Science
Develop extrinsic neuro-symbolic calibration that adjusts the uncertainty of already-trained neural networks to match the assumptions of downstream state estimators and controllers, without retraining the networks.
Jennifer Hurley
Biology·Early-career
Predict where environmental signals enter circadian control of transcription and translation, using computational analysis of time-series RNA and protein data from the fungus Neurospora crassa.
