Joshua Russell
Earth & Environmental Science
Identify and screen candidate sites for the Cosmic Explorer gravitational-wave observatory using Geographic Information Systems (mapping software) and public data, then partner with Indigenous and local communities before assessing the sites.
Yaoying Wu
Biomedical Engineering
Develop nanoparticles that encapsulate the immunosuppressant rapamycin and display proteins mimicking tolerogenic dendritic cells, including peptide-MHC class II plus inhibitory ligands such as PD-L1/2 and Fas ligand, for delivery to antigen-specific T cells.
Angela Oliverio
Ecology & Evolution
Measure how strain diversification and horizontal gene transfer affect microbiome assembly and function, using experimental evolution of synthetic sourdough and other fermented food communities.
Jayson Smith
Genetics·Early-career
Test whether UNC-3 acts as both an activator and a repressor of neuronal identity genes, by validating the thousands of up- and downregulated genes found in single-cell RNA sequencing of adult wild-type and unc-3 mutant C. elegans cholinergic motor neurons.
Pankaj Jha
Physics
Characterize how thickness, temperature and substrate affect superconductivity in nanometer-thin Fe(Te,Se) iron-chalcogenide flakes, using low-temperature optical spectroscopy and electrical transport measurements.
