Labs here
Catherine Davis
Earth & Environmental Science
Measure which particle types planktic foraminifera collected off U.S. coasts gather, how quickly they clump them, and how this changes the sinking and carbon export of marine snow, using laboratory cultures.
Xingcheng Lin
Biophysics·Early-career
Develop a physics-informed AI model that predicts how strongly proteins bind specific DNA or RNA sequences, combining sequence, structure and dynamics so it stays accurate when experimental training data are sparse.
Jiajia Li
Computer Science
Build a multi-level auto-tuning system that selects GPU execution strategies for ragged tensors, whose pieces vary in size, keeping overhead low via efficient sampling and search-space pruning.
Yi Xiao
Chemistry
Develop NA-SELEX, an aptamer selection method that uses DNA-cutting nucleases so neither target nor library sits on a solid support, to find aptamers that bind tightly and stay bound under body-like conditions.
Xipeng Shen
Computer Science
Design a data abstraction for Trusted Execution Environments that lets data exist and be managed separately from the enclave computing on it, addressing weak inter-enclave sharing, absent intra-enclave isolation, and poor scalability.
