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: Examining Training Environments and Career Outcomes of Interdisciplinary STEM PhD Students
This collaborative project with Ohio State University as the lead institution and Indiana University and Cornell University as partners examines the career outcomes across employme...
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...
Machine Learning Tools for Biofuel Creation and Purification using Ionic Fluids
Orlando Acevedo of the University of Miami is supported by an award from the Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods program in the Division of Chemistry to develop artif...
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...
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...
CAREER: SBP: Understanding Emotion Regulatory Flexibility among African American Adolescents
Recent instances of violence targeting African Americans has sparked protests and greater attention to the racism that African American youth and their families have faced for gene...
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...
CAREER: TUNING QUANTUM STATES OF MAGNETIC TOPOLOGICAL SYSTEMS WITH PRESSURE
Non-technical abstract: Quantum magnets are promising platforms for quantum computation and future green technologies. As an emerging and dynamically evolving research area, adequa...
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...
CAREER: Foundations for a Resource-Aware, Cyber-Physical Vehicle Autonomy
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), or drones, have tremendous scientific, military, and civilian potential for data collection, monitoring, and interacting with the environment. The...
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...
