Michael Levin
Engineering
Develop exact solution methods for transportation network design under user equilibrium that combine high-point relaxations, value-function cuts and strong duality cuts to find provably optimal designs faster.
Yiling Zhang
Engineering
Build a hierarchical stochastic optimization framework that links short-term adaptive user behavior to long-term infrastructure design, applied to building energy management and last-mile package delivery with parcel lockers.
Xiang Cheng
Engineering
Engineer a fluorescent bacterial strain with tunable swimming speed and tumble frequency, and image single cells inside dense suspensions to link individual swimming to local turbulent flow and test competing active-matter theories.
Pamela Lutsey
Public Health & Epidemiology·Early-career
Measure rural versus urban differences in new cardiovascular disease and its management, using MarketScan and Medicare 20% insurance claims classified by rural-urban commuting area codes.
Christopher LaRocca
Medicine & Clinical Research·Early-career
Identify which viral fiber structure, the part that attaches the virus to a cell, and which promoter, the genetic switch driving replication, give the strongest and most selective infection of human colorectal cancer cells, using cancer cell lines and patient-derived tissue slices.
