Daniel Robertson
Plant Science & Agriculture
Automate high-throughput phenotyping of cereal stalks, meaning fast trait measurements across many plants, to overcome the shortage of measured plants compared with millions of genetic markers.
James Moberly
Engineering
Develop an encapsulated biological material in which phosphorus accumulating organisms, microbes that store large amounts of phosphorus, are immobilized within a polymer structure for use in wastewater treatment.
Michael Strickland
Ecology & Evolution
Determine how deep soil communities and processes interact with surface soils to shape whole ecosystems, using 24 instrumented Deep Soil Ecotron chambers holding soil profiles up to three meters deep.
Sarah Wu
Engineering
Build theoretical and thermodynamic models of liquid-phase plasma discharge in PFAS solutions to quantify energy delivery, plasma–liquid interactions and the generation of hydrated electrons, free electrons held among water molecules.
Tianfang Han
Psychology
Develop an integrated model of preparation effects on choice reactions by combining the formalized multiple trace theory of temporal preparation (fMTP) with the Diffusion Decision Model (DDM), an evidence-accumulation model of decisions.
