Javad Khazaei
Engineering·Early-career
Learn low-dimensional manifolds from time-series measurements of distributed energy resources and use them for real-time predictive control of voltage, frequency and power sharing in microgrids.
Jill McDermott
Earth & Environmental Science
Determine how the April 2025 eruption at 9°50'N East Pacific Rise reorganized crustal permeability and fluid pathways, using high-temperature vent fluid sampling paired with in situ temperature measurements.
Rosi Reed
Physics
Measure how jet energy loss in quark-gluon plasma depends on temperature, density and path length, using dijet momentum imbalance and jet v2 from STAR and sPHENIX at RHIC.
Mary Iovine
Biology
Test whether male and female zebrafish differ in fin regeneration by measuring regenerate length, fin ray length, segment length and cell proliferation at several regeneration stages.
Frank Curtis
Mathematics & Statistics
Revisit the basic properties that gradient sampling methods rely on to guarantee convergence, and strengthen them for nonconvex, nonsmooth, locally Lipschitz problems whose function values are corrupted by computational noise.
