Eugene Wu
Computer Science
Develop a formal theory that defines visualizations as constraint-preserving mappings from relational database structure, including schemas and foreign keys, to visual structure, guaranteeing that charts soundly reflect the data.
Junfeng Yang
Computer Science
Detect model spoofing, where attackers upload malicious AI models under deceptive names, by developing anomaly detection based on naming conventions and model architectural signatures.
Jennifer Middleton
Earth & Environmental Science
Test whether settling particles, rather than ocean circulation, mainly control beryllium-10 (a cosmic-ray-made radioactive isotope) in the South Pacific, using co-located seawater, particle and sediment samples from GEOTRACES GP16 and GP17-OCE.
Kaizheng Wang
Mathematics & Statistics·Early-career
Develop methods to measure the overall fidelity of black-box generative AI models using effective sample size, an interpretable estimate of how much reliable information synthetic data contain.
Xuebing Wu
Genetics
Test whether RPL3L ribosomes, which replace the common ribosomal protein RPL3 in muscle, promote protein homeostasis in heart muscle cells, using human cell lines and mice expressing mainly RPL3 or RPL3L.
