Lenore Pipes
Computer Science·Early-career
Replace arbitrary species-assignment cut-offs in the tronko phylogenetic placement software with local thresholds based on Bayesian estimates of effective population size across the tree.
Jonghyun Lee
Earth & Environmental Science
Build hybrid surrogate models from neural operators, networks that imitate expensive simulations, coupled through an open-source framework so groundwater–ocean exchange is simulated quickly while conserving mass at the land–sea boundary.
Lenora Loo
Public Health & Epidemiology
Identify lifestyle, sociodemographic and clinical predictors of DCIS (stage 0 breast cancer) progressing to invasive cancer in AANHPI women, using exposure data from the Multiethnic Cohort and Hawaii Tumor Registry.
Colby Haggerty
Physics·Early-career
Determine how a velocity shear between neighboring plasma flows changes the rate, outflow speed and heating of collisionless magnetic reconnection, using kinetic modeling and theory.
Veronica Bindi
Physics
Operate and maintain the Simpson Neutron Monitor Network, ground detectors counting cosmic-ray secondaries, and deliver real-time count rates plus archived and high-resolution datasets to the research community.
