Xuwen Zhu
Mathematics & Statistics
Study how gravitational instantons, four-dimensional spaces that solve Einstein's equations, degenerate and how their moduli spaces are structured, using geometric microlocal analysis and PDE techniques.
Hessam Mahdavifar
Engineering·Early-career
Generalize Plotkin Transform codes, the family containing Reed–Muller and polar codes, through nonlinear parameterizations, and search for new codes using machine learning, deep learning and gradient-descent optimization.
Guevara Noubir
Engineering
Analyze threats to spectrum sharing from adversaries who use software-defined radios and machine learning to evade detection, including colluding transmitters.
Yang Ye
Education Research
Pilot a multi-phase offshore wind experiential learning framework that gives community college and engineering students low-cost, immersive at-home training with personalized coaching powered by artificial intelligence.
Sandra Shefelbine
Biomedical Engineering
Test whether limb bone shape in deer mice reflects inherited differences or lifetime loading, by raising burrowing oldfield mice (Peromyscus polionotus) and non-burrowing cactus mice (P. eremicus) in chambers that allow or prevent digging and comparing bone geometry by high-resolution CT.
