Lorra Garey
Psychology
Refine a single-session, computer-delivered personalized feedback intervention (I-PFI) addressing drinking, mood and HIV health with 20 adults with HIV, using mixed methods to assess acceptability, clarity and relevance.
Lei Fan
Engineering·Early-career
Develop mixed-integer linear and convex optimization models that capture how data center computing load can shift across time and location, embedded within security-constrained unit commitment for scheduling generators under network limits.
Paige Evans
Education Research
Analyze how STEM teacher preparation programs across a multi-university network affect teacher placement and retention in high-need school districts, using quantitative trend analysis.
Pradeep Sharma
Engineering
Model how strain, strain gradients, anisotropy and flexoelectricity (bending-induced electric charge) change superconductivity, by linking continuum mechanics to a quantum order parameter, to find ways to raise critical temperature and current.
Chengming Zhang
Computer Science
Adapt GPU error-bounded lossy compressors such as cuSZ to real scientific workflows, supporting diverse data formats and compression quality targets, with quality checked by tools like QCAT.
