MCA - Application of quantitative imaging methods to identify molecular components of multi-vesicular body fusion sites
All cells communicate with one another by sending out packets of molecules that relay information to other cells, both near and far. The regulation of how these packets are sent is...
Applied Asymptotic Algebraic Combinatorics
Algebraic combinatorics leverages the power of algebra to analyze discrete structures. It is a powerful approach to answering combinatorial questions, often leading to exact and ex...
Collaborative Research: Frameworks: Convergence of Bayesian inverse methods and scientific machine learning in Earth system models through universal differentiable programming
Understanding and quantifying parameter sensitivity of simulated systems, such as the numerical models of physical systems and mathematical renderings of neural networks, are essen...
Collaborative Research: Paleoenvironmental and paleoecological responses to climate change in the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum
Scientific evidence shows that Earth’s climate is rapidly changing. Understanding how ecosystems respond to climate change will provide critical information to help human populatio...
Hierarchical Assembly of Peptide Materials
With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Jean Chmielewski of Purdue University will conduct research...
Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Award: Modeling Precolonial and Colonial Niche Construction
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This project will undertake research to better understand how and why humans...
Collaborative Research: Vertical signatures of lithospheric deformation in the western US
Continuous space geodetic observations using GPS and similar constellations allow estimating relative motions of the Earth’s crust, easily down to sub-mm/yr levels. We now have lon...
RUI: Transcriptional regulation of host-pathogen viral symbiosis at single-cell resolution
Many viruses infect hosts for a lifetime. In order to do so, viruses must balance opposing needs that affect timing of the life cycle. On one hand, active replication is required t...
Robust Persistence and Permanence in Biological Interaction Networks
Persistence and permanence refer to the capacity of a system to maintain all its variables within fixed limits in a robust way. The phenomenon is the focus of much modern biologica...
Computational Methods for Large Algebraic Eigenproblems with Special Structures
This project concerns development and analysis of new numerical methods for solving several important classes of large-scale and complex algebraic eigenvalue problems with special...
Collaborative Research: Paleoenvironmental and paleoecological responses to climate change in the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum
Scientific evidence shows that Earth’s climate is rapidly changing. Understanding how ecosystems respond to climate change will provide critical information to help human populatio...
Collaborative Research: NSF-BSF: Somatic cell adaptation towards immortalization in a marine tunicate
The research investigates how cells from the marine colonial tunicate Botryllus schlosseri evolve when critical molecular networks that control cell growth and programmed cell deat...
BCSER - PVEST: A Dynamic Framework for Investigating STEM Interest, Attitude and Identity Among African American Middle School Students
Interest in STEM is often shaped in middle school and understanding the STEM attitude and interest of African American middle school students would be significant in reducing barri...
Synthesis of New Intergrowth and Nanostructured Metal Oxyhalide Photocatalysts
Nontechnical summaryThere is a critical need for materials that absorb visible light so that such energy can be used to drive reactions at their surfaces, such a solar water splitt...
Collaborative Research: Investigation of Anomalous Transport Phenomena During Evaporation from Nano-Engineered Surfaces
This project focuses on transport phenomena leading to unexpectedly high evaporative fluxes at nano-engineered surfaces such as nanoporous membranes and nanofin surfaces. Design an...
CRII: III: Toward the Compression of Pangenomic DNA Sequence Data Using Context-Free Grammars
DNA sequence data is becoming ubiquitous in various domains of science, such as medicine and agriculture. However, the volume of these data and the rate at which they are being gen...
CBET-EPSRC: Analysis and Optical Control of Surfactant Effects for Increased Lubrication of Liquid Flows in the Cassie State.
Engineered superhydrophobic surfaces possess properties similar to those of naturally occurring superhydrophobic surfaces such as the lotus leaf. For example, they provide lubricat...
Collaborative Research: Mechanisms of differentiation and morphogenesis of the ligule/auricle hinge
A fundamental question in plant biology is how plant cells are patterned to develop the specific forms and functions that comprise plant organs. This collaborative project will inv...
Primary and Secondary Aerosol Formation in Low-Temperature Combustion of Alcohol Biofuels
A desire for environmentally cleaner automobiles has led to the idea of using biologically derived fuels in engines that operate at lower temperatures. Such systems would minimize...
ISS: Thermophoresis in quiescent non-Newtonian fluids for bioseparations
There are many natural and industrial processes where nanoscale particles suspended in a fluid move as a result of a temperature gradient. These particles generally move from hot t...
