Regulation of Cell Adhesions by Mechanical Force
This project aims to understanding how biological materials respond to mechanical force. Adhesion receptors are proteins in the plasma membrane that mediate cell binding to other c...
CAREER: Differentiable Network-Accelerator Co-Search Towards Ubiquitous On-Device Intelligence and Green AI
There exists a vast and increasing gap between the prohibitive complexity of powerful Deep Learning (DL) algorithms and the constrained resources available for implementing them. I...
RI: CAREER : Understanding Opinions by Reasoning over Socially Grounded Language
Social media platforms have recently emerged as the primary space for public conversations, providing a venue for people to share perspectives and for policymakers to promote their...
Constructing Race-Specific Driving Patterns to Address Racial Profiling
While there is substantial evidence suggesting the presence of racial and ethnic bias in police treatment of people of color throughout the United States, there is little to no emp...
PlantSynBio: Optimized CAM Engineering for Improving Water-use Efficiency in Plants
Crassulacean acid metabolism and tissue succulence are metabolic and anatomical adaptations that improve water-use efficiency and drought (and salinity) stress tolerance in plants....
An Electronic-Sensing & Magnetic-Modulation (ESMM) Biosensor for Phagocytosis Quantification for Personalized Stratification in Pathogenic Infections
The objective of the proposed research is a biosensor platform to quantify the innate ability of human blood cells to combat pathogens (a phenomenon known as phagocytosis). Knowing...
Scaling Capacity-Building of Minority Engineering Programs and Women Engineering Programs
Despite recent increases, Black, Indigenous and other People of Color (BIPOCs) remain underrepresented among engineering degree recipients in the U.S. Moreover, women, who make up...
Saving Seniors’ Lives: Comparing the Efficiency and Equity of Medicare and the Clean Air Act
This research project will study the relative effectiveness of two public policies---Medicaid expenditure and air quality regulation---used to reduce mortality among Americans over...
RAPID: Kilauea 2020
Kilauea volcano began a new phase of eruption on Dec. 20th, 2020 after ~1.3-years of repose. The beginning of the current eruption was fairly low risk to the community but that cou...
Collaborative Research:The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) regulates intracellular iron homeostasis via reversible binding of a [2Fe-2S] cluster in Escherichia coli
This NSF award will support a collaborative project of Dr. Huangen Ding (Louisiana State University) and Dr. Codrina V.Ewbank-Popescu (University of St. Thomas) for research conduc...
Belmont Forum Collaborative Research: Re-Energize Governance of Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience for Sustainable Development
This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 55-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. Th...
Networks of Influence and Support in Peace Operations
United Nations (UN) peace operations are deployed to some of the most difficult environments in the world, charged with transforming war-torn states into countries that can sustain...
CAREER: Resilient and Scalable Framework for Control of Mutli-agent Systems: Ensemble Control of Network Motifs
This NSF CAREER project aims to develop a novel framework for control of multi-agent systems that is by nature resilient and scalable. The idea behind the framework is simple to st...
CAREER: Mechanoaging: Understanding the Mechanical Forces that Drive Cellular Aging
This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award will study the role of tissue mechanics in cellular senescence. Cellular senescence, defined as when cells can no longer divide...
Collaborative Research: Processes and Consequences of Somatic Mutation Accumulation in Plants
This project will address the long-standing question of whether mutations during stem growth (somatic mutations) in plants undergo natural selection within the adult plant, are pas...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: The Not-So-Inexhaustible Sea: Fisheries Science and Management 1863-present
Fish provide the primary source of protein for a billion people, but that crucial food supply is threatened by overfishing. Despite a vast scientific and policy literature arguing...
CAREER: Empirically evaluating the genomic consequences of assisted migration in heterogeneous environments
Responding to anthropogenic climate change is both a sociological and a scientific issue. Current studies suggest that many species are now lagging behind changing climatic conditi...
Meeting the Demand for Secondary STEM Teachers in Rural and Urban High-need School Districts in Kansas and Missouri
This project aims to serve the national interest of growing and diversifying the STEM workforce, including secondary STEM teachers. To do so, the project will recruit and support 2...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Soil Frontiers: Exploring the Culture and Politics of Soil Microbiology Research
This project examines how networks of collaborative research are challenging the way we study about soils. Contemporary understanding of soil focus on how it is a one of the most b...
