Nicholas Engdahl
Earth & Environmental Science
Develop a Madelung-style amplitude–phase groundwater transport model in which amplitudes describe probable transport modes across sediment types (facies) and phases act as velocity potentials, recovering the classical advection–dispersion equation in limiting cases.
Giuseppe Giannotti
Neuroscience·Early-career
Track the real-time activity of PVT neurons tagged with TRAP during spontaneous versus naloxone-precipitated withdrawal, using in vivo calcium imaging while rodents respond to heroin-linked cues.
Nathan McDowell
Ecology & Evolution
Identify the mechanisms behind differences among tree species in how rising vapor pressure deficit (VPD), or air dryness, affects gas exchange, growth, mortality, and ecosystem carbon and water fluxes, using seedling experiments and global tree growth datasets.
Andre Miguel
Medicine & Clinical Research
Test whether rural smokers with alcohol use disorder who receive varenicline plus app-based contingency management submit more breathalyzer samples showing alcohol abstinence and non-heavy drinking days than those using a control app.
Stephen Solovitz
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure how often ash clusters break apart (disaggregate) during three-body particle collisions in a humid chamber, using high-speed video of impacts between particles of different size, material and porosity.
