Christopher Bogart
Education Research
Identify how early-career developers and experienced students divide programming work between themselves and AI tools, using interviews and direct observation to find patterns of overtrust, lost task awareness and skill decline.
Ryan O'Donnell
Computer Science
Find new elementary methods for constructing high-dimensional expanders, highly interconnected mathematical networks, that avoid the advanced algebra and number theory used in current constructions.
Weijing Tang
Mathematics & Statistics
Develop priority-aware rules for valuing training data based on the Shapley value, a game-theory method for fairly splitting credit, that account for originality, provenance and individual risk within a unified axiomatic framework.
Reid Simmons
Engineering
Organize the 2026 Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) and National Robotics Initiative (NRI) Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, with project talks, poster sessions, workshops, panels and keynote talks.
Vladyslav Kozii
Physics·Early-career
Develop and analyze theoretical pairing mechanisms for superconductors with very low electron density, determining when superconductivity can survive as carrier density approaches zero.
