Artem Zvavitch
Mathematics & Statistics
Prove Brunn–Minkowski and isoperimetric-type inequalities for principal eigenvalues of real Monge–Ampère operators on convex bodies, using convex geometry and symmetrization.
Diana Goncalves Schmidt
Biophysics·Early-career
Optimize the production of DNA origami barcodes, folded DNA nanostructures carrying programmable nanocrystal patterns and fluorescent labels, and characterize them with gel electrophoresis, fluorometry and electron microscopy.
Aleisha Moore
Neuroscience
Test whether estradiol and progesterone fail to suppress KNDy neuron activity in prenatally androgenized PCOS model mice, using in vivo calcium imaging of individual neurons in freely behaving animals alongside LH pulse measurements.
Antal Jakli
Materials Science
Measure how linear electromechanical coupling in ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals, the conversion between applied voltage and mechanical deformation, depends on the magnitude of spontaneous polarization and on nanoscale structure.
Michael Fisch
Physics
Synthesize new bent-core, bimesogen and twisted-core mesogens designed to form the recently discovered twist-bend, splay-bend, splay and ferroelectric nematic phases.
