Christopher Butenhoff
Earth & Environmental Science
Intercalibrate early-1980s ethane measurements from the Oregon Graduate Institute global network with recent NOAA surface flask data so that historic and modern records can be compared.
Thomas Siderius
Engineering
Adapt a low-cost, open-source drifting logger that is weighted to follow a set water density. The goal is to sample a target ocean depth while carrying more sensors than existing drifters.
Sayan Bandyapadhyay
Computer Science
Design polynomial-time approximation algorithms for balanced k-median and k-means clustering, where each cluster must fairly represent every protected group, aiming for constant-factor guarantees like those known for ordinary clustering.
