John Neumeier
Physics
Track how a quasi-one-dimensional crystal changes from a metallic superconductor to a non-superconducting insulator as its charge-carrier density is varied. Single crystals will be measured for electrical, thermal and magnetic properties and for thermal expansion.
Tomas Gedeon
Mathematics & Statistics
Enumerate and theoretically characterize the attractors of all monotone Boolean models compatible with a given gene regulatory network, using the lattice structure of these models.
Hang Yu
Astronomy & Astrophysics·Early-career
Model nonlinear tides in binary neutron stars by expanding the stars' fluid motion into eigenmodes (natural vibration patterns), including couplings between modes, and coupling them to gravitational-wave-driven orbital decay.
Bennett Link
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Simulate the slip-stick, hysteretic motion of quantum vortices in the neutron superfluid and assess its consequences for neutron star spin glitches.
Diane Debinski
Ecology & Evolution
Test whether host-plant and nectar availability interact with drivers of aridification, such as snow cover and temperature, to explain long-term butterfly occurrence trends in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Great Basin.
