James Sheehan
Materials Science
Measure and model how fast aliphatic and aromatic bio-derived solutes adsorb onto cellulose fibers during supercritical CO2 impregnation, using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D) measurements under varied process conditions.
Yiran Wang
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop hybrid reduced order models in which neural networks add basis functions to precomputed multiscale ones, guided by stable Petrov-Galerkin formulations and residual-based error indicators.
Simon Bortz
Mathematics & Statistics
Characterize parabolic uniform rectifiability of time-varying boundaries through properties of caloric measure, the distribution of heat flowing in from the boundary, and through estimates for bounded solutions of the heat equation.
Kaiwen Chen
Engineering
Enable real-time autonomous drone navigation around homes for thermal-imaging energy audits, studying embodied AI, edge/cloud computing and human-robot interaction methods.
Samantha Hansen
Earth & Environmental Science
Build self-consistent models of the crust and mantle beneath Greenland by combining data from several seismic networks with a new seismic deployment in central-eastern Greenland.
