Yuhang Hu
Engineering
Formulate thermodynamically consistent constitutive laws from statistical models of evolving polymer networks, so that growth, degrowth, remodeling and stiffness change emerge from coupled reaction, transport and deformation.
Alexander Endert
Computer Science
Build an open-source software testbed with modular AI guidance components for chart creation and visual analysis of tabular data.
Matthew Liska
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Simulate super-Eddington accretion onto intermediate-mass black holes with radiative GRMHD models, varying accretion rate, magnetic field strength and misalignment between black hole spin and disk.
Ignacio Taboada
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Develop calibrations and reconstruction algorithms for the new IceCube Upgrade sensors to improve low-energy sensitivity and reduce systematic errors across IceCube's existing neutrino dataset.
Willow Ahrens
Computer Science
Form four coordinated working groups to develop core ecosystem components for sparse array programming — shared designs, data formats, performance metrics and optimization strategies — aligned through a joint committee.
