Gregory Bentsen
Physics
Develop Brownian random quantum circuits, models whose random operations vary continuously in time, into a framework for precision randomized benchmarking that handles scrambling, decoherence, weak measurements, and faulty operations together.
Stephanie Caligiuri
Physiology
Test whether eating flaxseed muffins daily for six weeks lowers allostatic load in young adults, measured by cortisol, melatonin, BDNF, reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial activity, compared with control muffins in a double-blind trial.
Mona Behl
Social Science
Foster analysis and synthesis research on human mobility caused by coastal change, including displacement, migration and planned relocation, using existing datasets and legal and policy frameworks.
Christopher Del Negro
Neuroscience
Test whether inhibitory GABAergic neurons of the central amygdala connect directly to excitatory breathing-rhythm neurons in the preBötzinger complex, using light-activated (optogenetic) proteins in VgatCre mice and recordings from brainstem slices.
Antonio Mastropaolo
Computer Science
Test whether filtering low-quality training examples with task-specific software engineering metrics lowers the computational cost of training large language models for code while preserving their learning ability.
