Ronald Viola
Chemistry
Optimize the potency and target selectivity of novel covalent inactivators of an essential fungal enzyme in a uniquely microbial pathway, increasing their reactivity once bound to the target.
Peter Andreana
Chemistry
Design and synthesize L-rhamnose (L-Rha) dimers, trimers, and oligomers, plus L-Rha linked to glucose or glucuronic acid, using microwave-assisted chemistry to obtain pure compounds in high yield.
Mohammad Elahinia
Education Research
Engage about 150 Toledo high school students in after-school Mechatronics Clubs, using industry-standard Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and game-centered, hands-on electric vehicle activities that end in a team competition.
Abbas Semnani
Engineering·Early-career
Develop theoretical and modeling frameworks for microplasmas at high frequencies, including a circuit-based electromagnetic-plasma simulator that links electron density, gas type and pressure to RF behavior.
Shi-He Liu
Biomedical Engineering
Evaluate whether exosomes displaying both the tumor-homing peptide RGD and the CD47 "don't eat me" peptide on surface protein CD9 (ExoSmart) target pancreatic cancer, using stroma-rich 3D human tumor spheroids in vitro and in vivo.
