Collaborative Research: Elements: SENSORY: Software Ecosystem for kNowledge diScOveRY - a data-driven framework for soil moisture applications
Tools for gathering soil moisture data (such as in situ soil sensors and satellites) have differing capabilities. In situ soil moisture data has fine-grained spatial and high tempo...
Collaborative Research: CDS&E: Theory and Methods for Implicit Molecular Solvation in Ligand and Ion Binding
Tyler Luchko of California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and David Case of Rutgers University are supported by an award from the Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Met...
CEDAR: Modification of Ionosphere by Lightning ElectroMagnetic Pulse (LEMP): Dependence on Lightning Type, Stroke Order, and Other Factors
Atmospheric lightning is a very familiar phenomenon seen during thunderstorms. However, it is not well-known that lightning strokes seen in the lower atmosphere could also travel u...
Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Award: Food And Social Complexity
The study of social inequality in past societies has helped archeologists understand the development of social structures. Earlier civilizations with sociopolitical hierarchies oft...
Collaborative Research: CAS: Carbene-Containing Ligands on Cu and Cu3N Nanocubes: Access to Stable and Selective Electrolysis for CO2 Reduction
With the support of the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, Professors He and Ung at the University of Connecticut and Professor Sun at Brown University are de...
Nearshore plume dynamics: Airborne observations and modeling of surf-shelf exchange
This project advance understanding of the nearshore environment by examining possible modifications to rip currents by warm and cold waters along a coastal strip. The project will...
Examining the relationship between an increasingly carnivorous Homo erectus and Pleistocene mammal extinctions.
Modern humans have an unparalleled capacity to modify their ecosystems. When and how humans obtained this ability is uncertain. This project seeks to clarify the timing and nature...
CAREER: Debugging the Fragmented DNS Infrastructure at Scale
Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most critical Internet infrastructures. It underpins nearly every Internet activity, translating user-friendly names like www.google.com to c...
Expanding Pathways for STEM Teacher Education to Better Serve Minnesota’s Diverse Student Populations
This project aims to serve the national need for building the capacity of secondary STEM education programs to recruit and train more secondary STEM teachers, especially those from...
Controlled symmetry breaking in semicrystalline polymer crystalsomes
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY:Semicrystalline polymers constitute the large majority of polymeric materials in use today. While the basic symmetries of polymer crystals are not different f...
A Robert Noyce Spatial Thinking Academy for Preparing Effective K-12 STEM Teachers
This project aims to serve the national need for a greater number of highly qualified STEM teachers. To do so, it will create the Robert Noyce Spatial Thinking Academy, which will...
Friendship Networks and Socioeconomic Outcomes
Children who grow up in disadvantaged environments face substantial barriers to educational and economic success later in life. However, research has long shown that disadvantaged...
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...
CAREER: DeepTrust: Enabling Robust Machine Learning with Exogenous Information
Great advances in machine learning have led to state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of tasks, such as image classification, machine translation, and robotics. However, rece...
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...
