The IEC Social Justice Workshop Series 2021
Recent events have brought systemic racism and racial injustice in all facets of society into sharp focus. The Inclusive Engineering Consortium (IEC) recognizes the need and opport...
Tropical Methods in the Study of Moduli Spaces of Families of Curves
The study of curves is a central topic in mathematics, with far-reaching applications to fields from cryptography to mathematical physics. Algebraic curves, which are one-dimension...
Exploiting excitons in atomic monolayers for dielectric sensing
Nontechnical description:Many crystals including semiconductors are made of weakly bonded layers, and as such, can be separated into stable units of atomic thickness. Electrons (ne...
I-Corps: Wearable Soft Robotic Glove for Hand Assistance and Rehabilitation
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a soft robotic glove for hand rehabilitation and assistance for recovering stroke patients. Cu...
Ideal eukaryotic tetrazine ligations for imaging protein dynamics in live cells
The ability to modify and visualize biomolecules in live cells without compromising their function is critical to understanding living systems. The goal of this research is to deve...
RAPID: A Longitudinal Investigation of the Social Outcomes of Participatory Stakeholder Engagement Processes
Participatory stakeholder engagement processes are increasingly recommended to help guide decision making about contentious and value-based natural resource management issues. Thes...
Collaborative Research: Are Amazonian and Andean ecosystems close to a tipping point?
Amazonian rainforests are famous for the immense biological and cultural diversity they support. These forests are also a vital part of global recycling of freshwater, and their lo...
I-Corps: A multifunctional metal-based nanoparticle solution for surface disinfection and decontamination
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a metal-based nanoparticle coating solution for durable antimicrobial and self-cleaning surfac...
Collaborative Research: Genomics of speciation and evolution of ecological traits in a geographic radiation of island kingfishers
How and why species diversify is a central question of biology and the process of speciation is how all biodiversity is created. Islands provide an excellent setting in which to st...
Collaborative Research: Creating and testing data science learning tools for secondary students with disabilities
The main goal of this collaborative project is to create and evaluate a universally accessible data science infrastructure for high-school-aged learners, with a focus on students w...
Collaborative Research: Does tree encroachment with altered hydrology in peatlands accelerate or suppress decomposition?
Peatlands are important ecosystems in the global carbon (C) cycle owing to their ability to take up and store vast quantities of C under cool and wet conditions. While these condit...
Collaborative Research: Targeted neurosteroidogenesis and complex memory function
Hormones travel through the blood and profoundly affect tissues far from their source. Neurons communicate with electrical signals and the release of neurotransmitters across the m...
Collaborative Research: Identifying shallow slow slip using hematite textures and (U-Th)/He thermochronometry of exhumed and experimental faults
Slow slip, the movement along a fault without an earthquake, is a fundamental part of the seismic cycle. In the near-surface environment, slow slip may impact a range of tectonic p...
Combinatorial and Algebraic Structures in Dynamics
One of the basic problems in dynamical systems, a mathematical structure that models systems such as planetary motion, is to understand what predictions can be made about the evolu...
Collaborative Research: CNS Core: Medium: A Unified Prefetch Framework for Approximation-Tolerant Interactive Applications
Interactivity is a core requirement for a wide range of user-facing applications, including data visualizations, web search and games. These user-facing, interactive apps must achi...
NSF-BSF: Tapered Bottlebrush Block Copolymers: Synthesis, Solution Self-Assembly, and Simulations
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY:With funding from the Polymers Program of the Division of Materials Research, Professor John B. Matson of Virginia Tech and Prof. Ronit Bitton of Ben-Gurion U...
Collaborative Research: Optimal Parental Leave Policies in the Presence of Statistical Discrimination and Child Development
This research project will use large data sets and modern economic theory and measurement methods to investigate the best parental leave policies for the US. It develops and tests...
CAREER: Designing an Interactive Partner to Support Pair Programming
Voice-assisted devices showcase the potential of conversational virtual assistants that have human-like interactions. This research seeks to develop an Alexa-like programming partn...
SaTC: CORE: Small: Understanding, Analyzing, and Improving Password Authentication Practices across the Web
For decades, passwords have served as a cornerstone of online authentication, and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. As a consequence, the security of the web ecosys...
SBIR Phase I: Colloidal Quantum Dot Image Sensors for Low-Cost Short-Wave Infrared Imaging
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop a low-cost infrared imaging device that enables real-time mo...
