Yasaman Ghasempour
Engineering·Early-career
Steer narrow terahertz beams electronically using a new multi-slit antenna, in which the beam's angle depends on the signal frequency and the slit geometry, to overcome the high signal loss at frequencies above 100 GHz.
Igor Klebanov
Physics
Develop new methods for quantum field theories with defects or boundaries, where interactions are confined to a surface or edge, and identify the new critical phenomena and renormalization group flows they produce.
Peter Constantin
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop a new mathematical analysis of radiative kinetics, the equations describing how radiation affects plasma dynamics, as a new direction in applied analysis.
Mohammad R Seyedsayamdost
Chemistry
Use high-throughput elicitor screening (HiTES) and genome-guided searches to uncover cryptic natural products in human microbiome bacteria, including radical SAM-modified peptides and selenium-containing metabolites.
Jianqing Fan
Mathematics & Statistics
Use a low-dimensional simplex structure found in the eigenvectors of noisy data to develop methods for fitting hierarchical topic models and dynamic network models.
