Doojin Kim
Physics
Develop theory frameworks for MeV-scale dark-sector physics at beam neutrino experiments, including light Kaluza-Klein gravitons from extra dimensions and rare three-body charged-meson decays that could produce light mediators.
William Chen
Biomedical Engineering
Engineer mouse bone marrow MSCs carrying synthetic genetic circuits that detect inflammatory signals, improve MSC survival and shift tissue inflammation from destructive to constructive, tested in cell, organoid and animal models.
Daniel Engebretson
Biomedical Engineering
Assess the translation potential of a drug-coated angioplasty balloon for peripheral and cerebrovascular artery disease through first-hand interviews and investigation of the medical device industry in the I-Corps program.
Ryan Johnson
Computer Science
Add computing capacity, including GPU-accelerated nodes, to the Lawrence high performance computing cluster to speed research in clean energy, sustainability, PTSD and climate change across South Dakota.
