Collaborative Research: LTREB Renewal: Feedbacks between evolution and demography in severely fragmented prairie populations of the purple coneflower, Echinacea angustifolia
This project continues a long-term study of natural selection in the purple coneflower, Echinacea angustifolia. At the beginning of the 1800s, prairie covered a great swath of Nort...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Evolution of the forelimbs of suspensory primates
Biological adaptations are often observed to have evolved multiple times within a group of species. This phenomenon may be related to the occurrence of particular co-occurring trai...
I-Corps: Human toxicity assay using synthetic embryo-like structures
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a controllable and scalable microfluidic technology in which synthetic human embryo-like struc...
Research in Extremal Combinatorics
Extremal combinatorics has grown significantly in both depth and breadth in the 21st century, resulting in methods that apply well beyond their original settings. These include app...
Collaborative Research: Continuity and Change in Remote Work
For millions of U.S. workers, the COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in a new era of remote work, which has shifted irreversibly the culture and technologies of work. This project will...
Convergence and Interdisciplinarity in Advancing Larger Scale Research
This workshop will focus on convergence and interdisciplinarity as drivers in broadening the participation of minorities and women in mid- and large-scale research. The goals of th...
Acoustically activated release of organic liquids in porous media: a multiscale experimental investigation using laser-based optical diagnostics
A porous medium is a material that contains open voids where liquid can become trapped. Trapping of liquid in a porous medium is important in a variety of technological and natural...
Random Matrices, Random Graphs, and Deep Neural Networks
Random matrix theory has proven useful in a wide range of disciplines, including condensed matter physics, high dimensional statistics, number theory, and network theory. The utili...
Aquifers, Science, and Spatial Imaginaries
Despite remaining largely out of public view during the twentieth century, aquifers are emerging from their relative obscurity as governments invest considerable resources in scien...
Workshop on Quantum Engineering Infrastructure. To Be Held Virtual In April 2021.
The workshop on quantum engineering infrastructure will bring together the nanomanufacturing and quantum engineering communities to develop short- and long-term solutions for suppo...
CAREER: CAS: Electrocatalytic Bilayer Interfaces for Controlled Proton Transport and Tandem Catalysis
With the support of the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Christopher Barile of the University of Nevada, Reno will investigate methods to improve...
CAREER: Personalized Speech Enhancement: Test-Time Adaptation Using No or Few Private Data
Current general-purpose speech enhancement systems employ large models trained from big datasets of audio signals which are too bulky to run on small personal devices. A personaliz...
CAREER:The Uncanny Valley in Socially Appropriate Haptic Interactions
Social touch is a natural mode of communication between humans that can help maintain relationships, communicates emotions, and directly reflects physical and psychological closene...
CAREER: Active Bayesian Inference for Collaborative Robot Mapping
Artificial perception techniques, allowing robot systems to know their location and surroundings using sensory data, have been instrumental for enabling robot automation outside of...
NSF/FDA SIR: Using Microbial Signaling Systems to Understand Relationship Between Microbial Growth an d Breast Implant Complications
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures nationwide, with over $1.1 billion spent on silicone gel implants in 2018. However, breast implants are...
