Majid Jaberi-Douraki
Computer Science
Extract antimicrobial use data for major livestock and poultry species by building the LAMU-AI web-crawler, which applies machine learning and a large language model to FARAD records and regulatory data.
Zakary Ratajczak
Ecology & Evolution
Test multiple rainout shelter designs at Konza Prairie to determine whether bison use areas under shelters at similar rates as unsheltered areas, by quantifying bison use and activity.
Melanie Derby
Engineering
Test whether the way soil-wetting bacteria Bacillus subtilis spread water through soil depends on soil type, starting moisture, soil water-repellency and application method, using lab, greenhouse and field experiments.
Tendai Gadzikwa
Chemistry·Early-career
Determine the molecular origins of unexpected reactivity observed within and on multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous crystals with several chemical groups placed close together, using machine learning.
Anil Pahwa
Engineering
Develop optimal polling strategies that choose which smart meters to read, and when, so a limited subset of meters gives a full picture of the low-voltage distribution system.
