Co-design a team-based sleep care pathway for oncology clinics with patients and staff through rapid build-test-refine cycles, finalizing universal screening steps, care-manager roles and warm handoffs, dashboards and checklists.
Julie Wargo Aikins
Psychology
Test whether disrupted maternal representations of the child, measured with the Working Model of the Child Interview, stay stable from the third trimester of pregnancy to when the child is two years old, in 99 women living in high-risk settings.
Andrew Berti
Microbiology & Immunology
Engineer a universal phage propagation strain of Staphylococcus aureus expressing methylation specificity proteins so that daughter phage DNA is tagged as "self" and bypasses the restriction-modification defenses that limit phage host range.
Rhongho Jang
Computer Science·Early-career
Develop memory management techniques that coordinate data transfer between routers and embedded graphics processing units (GPUs) so AI inference can run at high throughput inside the network core.
Dongxiao Zhu
Computer Science
Develop optimization algorithms that make large language model unlearning, removing specific data influences without retraining, more effective, robust and efficient.
