CAREER: Environmentally-Mediated Coordination in Natural and Robot Swarms
Autonomous robot swarms are becoming ubiquitous with thousands of robots and drones operating simultaneously in places from warehouses to entertainment light shows. This technologi...
Sulfated peptides serve as molecular mimics that facilitate pathogen virulence
This work will advance understanding of how bacteria and nematodes infect plants. Specifically, the researchers will study a group of molecules that are predicted to play important...
Cultivating University-School-Community Partnerships to Prepare STEM Undergraduates to Teach in Urban Environments
This project aims to address the national urban teacher shortage by preparing and supporting STEM undergraduates to effectively teach in culturally diverse, urban, high-need school...
Survival Probability Approaches and Scalable Algorithms to Elucidate Molecular-Tether Reactions in Immunoreception and Cell Mechanics
Much of biological inquiry has focused on the chemically-active parts of proteins that have a stable, rigid shape. However, over 30% of our proteins have regions that are not rigid...
Collaborative research: Regulation and dynamics of microbial communities and biogeochemical cycling in hydrothermally-influenced habitats in the Gulf of California
Hydrothermal ecosystems have captivated the imagination of scientists and the general public since their discovery ~40-years ago. Hydrothermal habitats are characterized by extreme...
CAREER: Reliability in Large-Scale Storage
With the advent of large scale distributed storage systems, cloud computing and commercial data storage applications, there is a renewed interest in the coding and information theo...
EAGER: Optical and System Engineering Interrogation of Vascular Amyloid in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating condition which has no cure and only some treatments for symptoms are available that do not stop the progression of the disease. This dise...
RCN: Mid-Atlantic Research Network for Synthetic Biology
The overall goal of this project is the creation of a research network in the Mid-Atlantic region (MD, DE, VA, NC, SC, and GA), focused on enhancing the productivity, sustainabilit...
CAREER: Branching Processes on Graphs Inform Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the US, and early detection, before metastatic dissemination, is critical for reducing colorectal cancer morta...
CAREER: Foundations and Applications of Constraint-based Synthesis
Program synthesis promises to democratize programming for the masses by automating the generation of tedious, error-prone code from more natural and understandable user-provided sp...
Collaborative Research: Moving Beyond the Margins: Modeling Water Availability and Habitable Terrestrial Ecosystems in the Polar Desert of the McMurdo Dry Valleys
Part I: Non-technical description:Water is life and nowhere is it more notable than in deserts. Within the drylands on Earth, the Antarctic deserts, represented in this study by th...
REU Site: Summer REU Program in Marine Science at the University of Delaware
The University of Delaware's College of Earth, Ocean and Environment in Lewes, DE will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the coastal campus in Lew...
I-Corps: A Simulation Tool to Teach Cybersecurity and Digital Fluency
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a software platform for K-12 that helps to educate young and vulnerable students about cyber t...
SBIR Phase I: Microbial production of paraxanthine, a caffeine replacement
The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a biomanufacturing process to produce paraxanthine for use as a caffeine alternati...
Collaborative Research: Fingerprinting Energy and Water Cycle Extremes through a Scale-Interaction Lens
Extreme weather events such as heat waves, cold air outbreaks (CAOs), droughts, and heavy precipitation commonly cause disruptions over regions the size of the northern midwest or...
CAREER: Electro-optic Multiplexing for Massive Scaling of Neural Recording
Our perception of the outside world, cognition, and memory are all mediated through our brain. It is not yet completely known how processing in the brain gives rise to the richness...
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...
Robot-Mediated Learning: Exploring School-Deployed Collaborative Robots for Homebound Children
Over 2.5 million children in the US are medically homebound. They are socially isolated, physically segregated, and current educational practices largely exclude them from their sc...
2021 Northeast Biomedical Engineering Conference
The Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC) has historically been a student-centered conference and the 2021 version will continue that tradition by providing opportunities for...
CAS: Innovating New Strategies for Selective Electrocatalytic Reduction
With the support of the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, Dr. Jenny Y. Yang of the University of California, Irvine is studying new methods to improve the pe...
