Collaborative Research: US GEOTRACES GP-17-OCE: Molecular speciation of trace element-ligand complexes in the South Pacific Ocean
All microscopic life in the ocean requires iron to grow and to thrive. This iron is supplied by dust that is carried from land out across the ocean by strong winds, or by volcanic...
Collaborative Research: Role of Endothelial Cell Activation in Hypoxia Tolerance of an Elite Diver, the Weddell Seal
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Part I: Non-technical description:The Weddell seal is an iconic Antarctic sp...
Variability of African Easterly Waves and Their Interactions with Saharan Mineral Dust Aerosols
Just as weekly weather reports for the US focus on warm fronts and cold fronts, a summer weather report for West Africa might feature African Easterly Waves (AEWs), weather pattern...
Matrix Completion with Non-uniform Missing Patterns, a New Measure of Conditional Dependence, and Applications to Feature Selection
This project aims to study three classes of problems in mathematical statistics. The first class of problems is about matrix completion. Suppose that we have an array of numbers wi...
EAGER: Biometric Authentication using Noncontact Cardiovascular Signals
In our increasingly interconnected society, user authentication - procedures for verifying that individuals are who they claim to be - is important for improving the security of di...
Dynamics and Kinetics
A deterministic system, such as a double pendulum, can exhibit chaotic or unpredictable behavior. The principal investigator will study the finite time evolution of chaotic determi...
Tracking the movement and strength of the Northern Hemisphere westerlies over the last glacial cycle.
The westerly wind belts are a key part of the climate system. Knowing the strength and position of the westerlies during different climate states and across abrupt shifts in climat...
Collaborative Research: Crossing the percolation threshold for selective gas transport using interconnected crystals of metal–organic frameworks in polymer-based hybrid membranes
Light gases such as methane, ethane, and ethylene play an important role in industrial applications, including their use as gas and liquid fuels and as precursors in polymer manufa...
I-Corps: Mobile Phone Based Vital Sign Detection
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project involves the development of an accessible, evidence-based, biofeedback intervention to allow individuals suffering w...
Collaborative Research: FET: Small: Massive Scale Computing and Optimization through On-chip ParameTric Ising MAchines (OPTIMA)
For decades, academia and industry have relied on deterministic algorithms and on general-purpose von-Neumann computing architectures to solve combinatorial-optimization (CO) probl...
New Approaches to Questions in Sampling, Counting, and Optimization
The project addresses fundamental research directions overlapping with the areas of probability, combinatorics, statistical mechanics and optimization. The technical challenges inc...
Collaborative Research: Testing the timing and direction of mantle exhumation at the Iberia-Newfoundland margins with low-temperature thermochronology
The change from continents to seafloor is an important tectonic process that leads to the formation of oceanic basins. Continental breakup results in extreme thinning of continenta...
Collaborative Research: SHF: Medium: Automated Word Level Synthesis for Hardware Code Generation and Verified Abstraction
The success of formal methods has enabled widespread applications in ensuring correctness, safety, and reliability of computing systems. This project on automated word-level synthe...
Collaborative Research: Using Multisystem Deep-Time Thermochronology to Decipher Neoproterozoic Exhumation Patterns in Time and Space
Earth’s history as recorded in rocks is frequently incomplete in any one place, with gaps of missing time known as unconformities. While common, such gaps typically occur at differ...
Investigating the genetic history of the Central and Southern Plains
The study of genomes from ancient individuals has transformed archaeological studies in the Americas. But current understanding of this early history is far from complete, owing to...
Collaborative Research: Role of Endothelial Cell Activation in Hypoxia Tolerance of an Elite Diver, the Weddell Seal
This award is funded in whole under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Part I: Non-technical description:The Weddell seal is an iconic Antarctic species and a...
STTR Phase I: Phage-resistant bacterial therapeutics
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will be a new approach to treat gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, metabolic...
Pulmonary Aerodynamic Valves: Distribution & Function
This project addresses a major, poorly understood question in vertebrate evolution related to the lung's extraordinary structural diversity, especially the structures that giv...
Collaborative Research: PPoSS: Planning: A Disciplined Approach to Scaling in the Post-Moore's Law Era
General-purpose processor speeds have not increased at their historical rates for over 15-years. Designers have instead offered scalable computing systems with additional barriers...
Regularity Questions in Linear and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
The project focuses on mathematical research in certain partial differential equations (PDE) that model phenomena in physics, engineering, materials science, and economics. The stu...
