Gene Tsudik
Computer Science
Define an execution model for safelets, small safety-critical programs that must run no matter what, and formally verify the safety monitor responsible for executing them.
Anna Ma
Mathematics & Statistics
Analyze the sample complexity of low-rank tensor completion, meaning how many observed entries are needed to recover a multi-dimensional dataset with simple underlying structure.
Donovan Argueta
Neuroscience·Early-career
Use PET neuroimaging and spatial transcriptomics to test whether a nutrient- and omega-3-enriched sickle diet changes anandamide (a natural cannabinoid) and dopamine activity in the brain and reduces pain sensitivity in sickle mice.
Wenqi Wang
Biochemistry
Characterize the molecular architecture of the Hippo kinase cascade, the chain of phosphate-adding enzymes MST and LATS and their partners, and map the regulatory networks around it.
Franklin Dollar
Physics
Use EUV light emitted during laser wakefield acceleration to infer plasma temperature and connect it, through simulations, to the electron charge injected into the plasma wave, in experiments on petawatt lasers such as ZEUS.
