Labs here
Bo Xiao
Engineering
Analyze the current technological landscape of construction AI data and survey the community to identify construction-specific capability gaps and growth directions for the Advanced Construction Image Dataset suite.
Amy Landis
Engineering
Build a probabilistic material flow analysis of macro, micro and nano plastics in the US and Caribbean to locate the largest flows, losses and accumulation, including flows into compartments such as food and humans.
Susanta Ghosh
Engineering·Early-career
Develop a Bayesian convolutional neural network that predicts electron density, the map of where electrons reside in a material, while reporting its own uncertainty.
Haiying Liu
Chemistry
Design and synthesize near-infrared BODIPY dye probes that emit two colors whose ratio reports viscosity, with improved water solubility, stability and ability to enter cells.
Gregory Odegard
Materials Science
Use molecular dynamics simulations to measure how polymer chains mix, crystallize and build up stress at interfaces between carbon fiber layers. Simulate conditions from automated fiber placement, induction welding and stamp forming.
