Matthew Montemore
Engineering·Early-career
Screen alloy-host single-atom alloys with machine learning and density functional theory to find stable, active catalysts for oxidation and alkane conversion, then move top candidates to surface-science and nanoparticle tests.
Sina Pourtaheri
Biomedical Engineering
Synthesize a double-encapsulation system, des-n(NGFp), in which nanocapsules carrying a painless nerve growth factor variant are entrapped within double emulsions to control release kinetics.
Prasun K Datta
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether age and lactate-driven histone lactylation worsen neurocognitive disease by measuring plasma and cerebrospinal fluid lactate, MRI-based spatial memory, and prefrontal and temporal lobe lactylation in young versus old SIV-infected macaques on antiretroviral therapy.
Samuel Punshon-Smith
Mathematics & Statistics·Early-career
Develop a microlocal framework, using pseudodifferential operators that track behavior across spatial scales, to analyze how randomly fluctuating velocity fields mix a substance in advection-diffusion and nonlinear fluid PDE models.
Hang Hai
Public Health & Epidemiology·Early-career
Co-design, with community partners, an orientation video that walks users through setting up and using the TRIPP virtual reality mindfulness app, to reduce barriers such as limited technology literacy.
