Zhongkui Hong
Biomedical Engineering
Define how stiffness and composition of the extracellular matrix control adhesion and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells through YAP/TAZ mechanotransduction, using cells from ApoE⁻/⁻ mice.
Indrajit Srivastava
Biomedical Engineering
Systematically vary the topology, molecular weight and composition of fluorescent polymers to map how each feature affects NIR-II optical performance, including brightness, quantum yield and emission stability.
Kai Wu
Biomedical Engineering·Early-career
Develop bendable magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) thin-film sensors that measure the field in three directions, with built-in electronics, to form scalp-conforming arrays for room-temperature magnetoencephalography.
Jennifer Henderson
Social Science
Understand how individuals assess their own risk and decide to take protective action as flash floods and other weather hazards develop, using a human-centered approach.
Ignacio Tomas
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop semi-implicit time-stepping schemes for the Euler-Maxwell and Euler-Poisson fluid models of charge transport that keep density positive and energy stable, even when fast plasma oscillations are present.
