Frederik Hartmann
Social Science
Build artificial neural networks that learn to reconstruct proto-forms, the ancestor words of a language family, from their descendant words, using large datasets spanning many language families.
Kui Tan
Chemistry
Separate the diffusion of oxoanion pollutants through metal-organic framework (MOF) pores from their binding at local sites, using in situ infrared spectroscopy in water combined with ab initio modeling.
Tristan Lin
Social Science
Track how coastal households in 100-year flood zones turn intentions into flood protection behaviors, surveying them six times over three years based on Paton's Social-Cognitive Preparation Model.
Haifeng Zhang
Engineering
Design, fabricate and test a MEMS resonant sensor on a piezoelectric single-crystal wafer that measures pH, pressure and temperature together. The goal is sensitive pH readings that do not drift with depth-related changes.
