Multi-Scale Models for Non-Stationary Spatial Datasets
This research project will develop statistical methods for spatial data using a model-based approach. The wide availability of location-referenced observations has resulted in a ne...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Social Protest, Consensus, and Multicultural Democracy
Democracies serve heterogeneous constituents, expressing significant variation in social and cultural factors. To ensure peaceful coexistence between different social actors, reach...
CAREER: Plasticity, Promiscuity and Transport Mechanisms in Transmembrane Metal Pumps
With the support of the Chemistry of Life Processes Program in the Division of Chemistry, Dr. Gabriele Meloni from The University of Texas at Dallas will study the molecular mechan...
Collaborative Research: Microbiome mediation of multi-trophic interactions in a tree diversity experiment
Sometimes referred to as the great unseen, plant-associated bacteria and fungi are hidden yet potentially pivotal components of ecosystems. Although the global leaf surface area is...
Studies of Singularities, Black Holes, and Gravitational Radiation
This project will study two aspects of gravity: (1) gravitational collapse and (2) gravitational radiation. (1) When an object’s gravity becomes strong enough to trap light, the ob...
RAPID: Multiwavelength Imaging and Spectroscopy of the Corona During the 2021 December 4 Total Solar Eclipse
Solar eclipses provide a rare opportunity to learn about the solar corona. This outer layer of the Sun is a mystery – it is millions of degrees and much hotter than the photosphere...
REU Site: Tracking Land Change (TLC)
This project is funded from the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program in the SBE Directorate. It has both scientific and societal benefits, and integrates res...
Collaborative Research: AF: Medium: A Unified Framework for Geometric and Topological Signature-Based Shape Comparison
A fundamental aspect for data analysis is the ability to compare data sets, in order to measure (dis)similarity and quantify patterns present in the data. However, data is often to...
I-Corps: Blockchain-based Digital Timebank
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project will be a blockchain-based timebank that results in a shared empowerment system that leverages students’ strengths a...
Measurement of In Situ Mechanical Forces During Neotissue Formation
This grant will use tiny force sensors to measure the forces that exist during the earliest stages of tissue formation and for the maturation stages that follow. The push and pull...
Investigating Near-Surface Ocean Heating and Mixing Processes in the Presence of Surface Material
Solar radiation is the largest form of heating of the upper ocean and is unique to the air-sea flux balance due to its penetration beneath the ocean surface. It has been speculated...
CAREER: Optoelectronic Local Probes Measuring Microstructural Degradation and Recovery Under Accelerated Environmental Stressors
Nontechnical Abstract:Defects in semiconductors play a critical role in the performance and stability of modern electronics. The ability to interrogate such defects is therefore of...
I-Corps: A High Energy Lithium Metal Battery Enabled by Atomic Layer Deposition
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is to develop a lithium metal battery (LMB) technology that is superior to state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (L...
I-Corps: Software Platform for the Assessment and Measurement of Port Disruptions
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project may enable stakeholders to model the functional and economic impact of cross-organizational, inter-infrastructure di...
Learning Combinatorial Non-Convex Structures in Data: Statistical Foundations and Computational Methods
Learning latent structures in complex data sets is a crucial task in computational and data-enabled sciences. For applications in computer vision, genomics, and social networks, th...
Collaborative Research: Glacial deep Pacific carbon storage and effects on CaCO3 preservation
The oceans are threatened by climate change, and understanding how they will respond to higher CO2 levels has never been more important. Past changes in the ocean’s carbon cycle ca...
Learning and characterizing DNA sequences in DNA-nanotube hybrid structures for high-affinity binding and recognition of molecular targets
Nanomaterials with unique and powerful optical properties have emerged as promising tools for imaging and sensing small biological molecules present in cells, tissues, and live org...
Vagrancy and Colonization by Birds: Escape from Climate Extinction?
Wild birds often turn up in unexpected places, far away from where they breed or usually migrate. These presumably lost individuals are called “vagrants”. Historically, they have v...
US GEOTRACES OCE: Measuring the distribution of stable carbon isotopes and estimating organic matter export rates
The goal of this project is to measure the concentration of the rare isotope of carbon (13C) present in the carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules dissolved in seawater of the South Pacifi...
CAREER: Machine Learning Approaches to Understanding Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Convergent Evolution of Vocal Learning Behavior
The ability to perform a variety of complex behaviors, like human speech, is encoded in the billions of nucleotides that make up the genome of an organism. Although speech itself i...
