Petras Swissler
Engineering
Develop a swarm of interlocking hexagonal robotic tiles with motorized surfaces and docking interfaces that self-assemble into all-terrain conveyors, drawing on how fire ants link bodies into rafts.
Kamalesh Sirkar
Engineering
Develop a method to modify commercially available membranes so they block molecules at sequentially lower molecular weight cutoffs, from 3,000 Da down to 200 Da, for purifying drug molecules in organic solvents.
Shaahin Angizi
Engineering·Early-career
Design reconfigurable circuits and architectures for a multi-modal in-sensor accelerator that moves AI computation onto sensor nodes as efficiently as possible.
Hao Chen
Chemistry
Develop a "bottom-up" mass spectrometry imaging method that identifies tissue proteins from their peptide fragments rather than as intact proteins, aiming to identify far more proteins per imaging experiment.
Shuai Zhang
Engineering
Develop topology sampling and graph neural network pruning methods for single-layer graph models, trimming network structure and model size so spatial-temporal AIoT data can be analyzed more efficiently.
