Collaborative Research: MSA: Tree crown economics: testing and scaling a functional trait-based theory
Climate change is subjecting trees to new environmental conditions and it is increasingly important to understand how trees respond to these changes. While ecologists have long kno...
Hydrologic closure relationships at different levels of hillslope model complexity
Water and land management, for example to limit the discharge of pollutants into water resources, relies on accurate model predictions of subsurface water flow and solute transport...
Relaxation, Intermittency and Dissipation in a Collisionless Plasma
The purpose of this project is to improve understanding of the basic science of turbulence in a plasma. Turbulence is the complex dynamics of a fluid or gas resulting from nonlinea...
CRII: IIS: HCC: Interplay of Emotions and Self-Efficacy of Novice Students during Programming Tasks: A Multi-Modal Approach
Computer programming is an increasingly necessary skill for computing and engineering students that is often found early in an undergraduate program. However, learning programming...
Enhancing research capacity on Cape Cod for studies of coastal ecosystems that are at risk from climate change and other human impacts
The effects of climate change and other human impacts can be challenging to assess, especially for long‐lived, cryptic species. The Center for Coastal Studies (CCS, www.coastalstud...
Collaborative Research: Linking pyroclastic surge dynamics and deposits through integration of field data, multiphase numerical modeling, and experiments
Explosive volcanic eruptions unleash flows of hot gases and particles called pyroclastic surges; these are deadly to humans and severely damage or destroy buildings and other infra...
Excellence in Research: Biodegradable composite nanofiber meshes that contain degradable metal particulates
Non-technical Summary:A significant challenge in the field of biomedical engineering is that many implanted devices stimulate immune reactions that can interfere with tissue healin...
STTR Phase II: The Next Generation of Environmentally Friendly Coatings for Marine Antifouling
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is the development of a novel non-toxic antifoulant that keeps the hulls...
Collaborative Research: RoL-Rules for Dynamic-Light Environmental Sculpting of Genomes
The problem of getting a clear signal in a noisy environment is a problem that not only humans must resolve but one that all organisms in nature experience. The goal of this resear...
The contribution of introgression to convergent floral adaptation in Penstemon
Convergence is the repeated evolution of the same traits in different species. Understanding how and when unrelated organisms have converged in response to their environments provi...
CAREER: How Transportation User Experiences Shape Future Behavior: Learning from the Past
This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports foundational behavioral research to understand what drives shifts from lifestyles oriented toward sustainable transpor...
Collaborative Research: IMAGiNE: Quantifying Diatom Resilience in an Acidified Ocean
This research seeks to investigate how long-term environmental changes like ocean acidification will affect diatoms, a key microscopic phytoplankton forming the basis of many marin...
Designing Tough Composite NanoFibers using Brittle Glasses
Designing Tough Composite NanoFibers using Brittle Glasses Non-technical SummaryThis award supports theoretical and computational research and education on composite materials, whi...
CAREER: Modeling the role of blood and lymphatic vessels in adipose tissue
In the past twenty years, our understanding of adipose (fat) tissue has been transformed. We now realize that adipose tissue is a complex endocrine (hormone producing) organ capabl...
Dynamics of Matter and Light-Matter Systems
While many everyday life experiences are governed by the laws of classical mechanics, important technological applications such as, e.g., the laser pointer, rely on quantum effects...
IUCRC Planning Grant Tufts University: Center for Cellular Agriculture and Cultured Meat (CACM)
The Center for Cellular Agriculture and Cultured Meat (CACM) aims to address the world’s growing need for high quality proteins that are nutritious, delicious, affordable, safe, su...
Collaborative Research: Concentration Polarization Induced Electrokinetic Flows around Dielectric Surfaces
Precise control flow in microfluidic systems has many applications in areas such as clinical diagnosis, drug discovery, detection of chemical and biological pathogen, immunoassays,...
Workshop on Emerging Opportunities at the Intersection of Quantum and Thermal Sciences
This award is to support the Workshop on Emerging Opportunities at the Intersection of Quantum and Thermal Sciences to be held virtually on June 28-30, 2021. Advances in quantum sc...
Collaborative Research: Redox Ratios in Amphiboles as Proxies for Volatile Budgets in Igneous Systems
Iron is the only element with multiple valence states (iron metal or Fe0, ferrous iron or Fe2+, and ferric iron or Fe3+) that is a major constituent in rock-forming minerals. It ha...
Structure-Property Relationships of Protein-based Block Copolymer Nanocomposites
Non-technical AbstractThis project envisions a future in which synthetic biology enables the production of tailored, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly adhesives with prop...
