Diana Elizondo
Physiology·Early-career
Determine how TGases in myeloid cells, including macrophages, drive adipose tissue inflammation and unhealthy fat expansion in obesity, using conditional knockout mice.
Rebecca Williams
Education Research
Identify the knowledge, skills and attitudes new software engineers and developers need in an AI-driven workplace, through semi-structured interviews with current employees and hiring decision makers.
Mark Marten
Microbiology & Immunology
Test whether Aspergillus nidulans responds to blocked β-glucan cell-wall synthesis in two phases: rapid actin redistribution to build protective septa (cross-walls), followed by a recovery phase of protein expression that restarts growth.
Adi Foord
Astronomy & Astrophysics
Determine how often supermassive black holes merge by using AI to identify galaxy mergers and dual active galactic nuclei (pairs of feeding black holes) in large imaging surveys, and relate these rates to gravitational wave observations.
Andrei Draganescu
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop low-rank gradient flow (LRGF), a first-order optimization method that builds quadratic approximations with low-rank Hessians and computes their gradient flow exactly, ending each step with a Wolfe-condition line search.
