CAREER: Fair assessments: Examining Cultural Familiarity to Decrease Bias in Engineering Classroom Assessments
Test scores are used to inform who gets to pursue and stay in engineering education at every juncture, pre-college through graduate school. The persistent achievement discrepancies...
Collaborative Research: Research: Intersections between Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Ethics in Engineering
Efforts focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and ethics are often siloed in engineering. While generally pursued as separate lines of investigation, we hypothesize tha...
CAREER: Self-tuning Parallel Software and Systems
Recent advances in machine learning (ML) approaches are driving scientific discovery across many disciplines. This presents a unique opportunity in the parallel computing community...
Collaborative Research: Ultrasensitive Nucleic Acid Sensing Tools Based on Cas Assays and Solid-State Nanopores
The urgent need for rapid, inexpensive, and convenient methods to detect viruses has been clearly evidenced by the onset of Covid-19, which caused the death of over 2 million propl...
CAREER: Formulations, Theory, and Algorithms for Nonlinear Model Reduction in Transport-Dominated Systems
Often in science and engineering, systems need to be numerically simulated with multiple different parameter configurations, inputs, and coefficients to gain a deeper understanding...
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Feeling the Squeeze: How Financial Stress Shapes Decision Making and Risk for Drinking Water Systems in U.S. Cities
Across the nation, cities face immense fiscal stress brought about by the confluence of increased demands for critical city services – including drinking water, education, transpor...
Collaborative Research: Apparatus for Normalization and Systematic Control of the MOLLER Experiment
A central goal of nuclear and particle physics is to obtain a complete understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces through which they interact. The Stan...
An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Student Engagement in Scientific Practices in Undergraduate Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Laboratory Courses
This project aims to serve the national interest in undergraduate STEM education by examining student learning in laboratory courses. Many students enroll in introductory laborato...
I-Corps: Multiplexed paper-based test for rapid diagnosis of early-stage Lyme Disease
The broader impact/commercialization potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a low-cost rapid diagnostic tool with the ability to measure multiple health markers in...
AGS-PRF: Peroxy Radical (RO2) Reactivity through Functionalized Organic Iodides
This project involves laboratory experiments to better characterize the reactive chemistry of peroxy radicals in the atmosphere. Peroxy radicals are key intermediate species in the...
Random Walks in Random Potentials
Irregular or random growth is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, occurring in settings ranging from the growth of bacterial colonies and tumors to the formation of coffee rings and...
Mechanism and Regulation of non-canonical translation initiation
Ribosomes are molecular machines that synthesize proteins. During protein synthesis, ribosomes decode a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) sequence into a corresponding protein seq...
REU SITE: WETLAND SCIENCE IN THE MODERN WORLD
This REU Site award to Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, IL is based at the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC), located in Alton, IL. The REU...
CAREER: Disrupting the Status Quo Regarding Who Gets to be an Engineer
While there has been extensive research on the barriers Black and brown students face as they strive to participate in engineering education and the workforce, there is less schola...
I-Corps: Next Generation Composite-based Interbody Cages for Spinal Fusion
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a new class of spinal interbody fusion cages with multi-functional features. Specifically, the...
CAREER: A Systems Biology Approach to Determine How Information from the Cellular Environment is Transduced to the Circadian Clock.
This Faculty Early Career Development project will determine the underlying mechanisms that regulate the integration of environmental signals into the circadian clock. Organisms ha...
Collaborative Research: Modeling Internal Waves from Cradle to Grave
This project will examine the evolution of near inertial internal waves generated at the ocean surface, using a suite of nested very high resolution models. Internal gravity waves...
Trapped in travertine: Physical and chemical signature of paleoseismicity in hot spring deposits on active faults of the Central Nevada Seismic Belt
In order to understand earthquake hazard, scientists investigate the record of past earthquakes to as a means to constrain the possible size of future earthquakes and how often the...
CAREER: Understanding Peroxisomal Stress Responses
This research will investigate how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to malfunctioned organelles, such as peroxisomes. Peroxisomes are essential subcellular organelles involved in...
CAREER: Tools for building online services that hide metadata
Online services track users and analyze their behavior to improve their products and monetize their services. Despite the benefits of collecting user information, data breaches and...
