Ranajay Ghosh
Engineering·Early-career
Test whether concentrated salt solutions give green strength to oxide and nitride ceramic powder beds through ion transport and particle bridging during wetting and drying, using mechanical testing, microscopy and x-ray imaging.
HanQin Cai
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop scalable tensor algorithms based on mode-wise sampling and low-rank tensor representations to recover useful information from large, partially corrupted or incomplete multidimensional data.
Daniel Ram
Microbiology & Immunology
Develop a gold nanoparticle platform that displays chosen peptides on HLA-E, a non-classical MHC class I molecule, to replace stressed cell lines as a reproducible and scalable peptide-presentation method.
Samik Bhattacharya
Engineering
Measure how rapid pitch-up motions of the wing and tail change lift and drag on 3D-printed bird models near the ground, using a force sensor to capture instantaneous forces during simulated takeoff and landing.
Alexander Cole
Microbiology & Immunology
Purify and identify the anti-Staphylococcus aureus proteins and polypeptides secreted by nasal Klebsiella isolates, starting from conditioned culture medium that can be prepared at large scale.
