Tianyu Zhang
Engineering
Develop machine-learning methods that predict wireless channel conditions and interference on the factory floor, so 5G/6G radio resources can adapt in real time.
Edward Gillan
Chemistry
Identify the factors that control composition and crystal structure when highly exothermic, seconds-long thermochemical reactions form crystalline metal borides of earth-abundant 3d and 4d metals in a transient molten salt flux.
Erliang Zeng
Public Health & Epidemiology
Test whether a Self-Determination Theory-based intervention keeps or restores a healthy oral microbial community in children from birth to age three, by comparing oral metagenomes between intervention and control groups from a completed clinical trial.
Hillel Haim
Microbiology & Immunology
Build a deep mutational scanning system using replication-defective HIV-1 to measure, safely and at high throughput, how every amino acid substitution at each site of the capsid protein affects viral fitness and resistance to the capsid inhibitor lenacapavir.
Mary Weber
Microbiology & Immunology
Determine mechanistically how the Chlamydia trachomatis effector TmeA regulates N-WASP, a host trigger of actin assembly, and whether this interaction drives membrane ruffling, pedestal formation and filopodial dynamics during invasion.
