Social Responses to Stigma: developing a complex public health intervention approach
Stigma refers to people being 'marked' - in society's eyes - as lesser, unworthy or disgraced. Stigma can lead to discrimination, or unfair treatment. This stigma an...
TRAMA - Tracing cooperation: images, memories and archival restitutions of early film workshops in Bolivia
From the 1970s to the 1980s, international organizations and western NGOs promoted film training workshops and media transference projects in peripheral countries. Through cooperat...
EAGER: Narrating the experiences of low-income engineering students and their traditional and chosen families
This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by conducting research that will inform practices to stre...
Balancing Thermal Comfort and Energy Efficiency: Investigating the Impact of Personal Comfort Systems on the Sleep Quality of Older People
This research aims to enhance the thermal comfort and sleep quality of older people, while reducing the energy use of the building via the use of Personal Comfort Systems (PCS). Th...
CAREER: Mitigating the Risks of Metastable Failures in Distributed Systems
Large software systems, such as cloud systems, often exhibit intricate failure patterns distinguished by complicated interactions between components. Metastable failure is one such...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Evaluating non-human primates’ intrinsic environmental vulnerability with a multispecies landscape genetic analysis
Landscape transformation can result in environments that are variable and patchy, potentially limiting an animal’s ability to move and find a mate. While this situation can hinder...
The Zipima Weka Schista Study (Do self-testing sister!) longitudinal cohort study
The 'Zipime Weka Schista!' (Do self-testing sister!) study is a novel one-stop approach for improving young women's sexual and reproductive health through community-...
Infra-Legalities: Global Security Infrastructures, Artificial Intelligence and International Law
Terrorist risks and violent extremist threats are increasingly identified and governed via new forms of data analytics and automated decision-making (ADM) made possible by advances...
A Novel Human Pathway for Repair of Sunlight-induced DNA Photodimers
The stability and integrity of DNA, our genetic material, is constantly threatened by endogenous and exogenous sources of DNA damage.As a consequence, multiple biochemical pathways...
Slow Growth and Dormancy in Bacteria (renewal)
Increasing attention has been focused on the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. It is estimated that there are approximately 1.3 million deaths per year due to bacterial inf...
Noncommutative Functions, Algebra and Operator Analysis
Noncommutativity is the idea that the order of operations matters; socks before shoes is very different than shoes before socks. Noncommutativity played a fundamental role in the f...
CAREER: Investigating unconventional superconductivity with reconfigurable graphene heterostructures
Nontechnical DescriptionSince their discovery a century ago, understanding superconductors, which are electronic materials that exhibit zero resistance to electrical current, as we...
EPSCoR Research Fellows: NSF: Computational Design and Experimental Validation of DNA Nanodevices
Programming the biological world is a significant grand challenge for science and engineering, which the field of DNA nanotechnology addresses by implementing computational functio...
Arithmetic Structure in Dense Sets
This project focuses primarily on three different problems in number theory, combinatorics, and ergodic theory. This includes work in additive combinatorics concerning generalizati...
ENG-SEMICON: Integrated synthetic dimensions for reconfigurable modal control and topological nanophotonics
Next-generation communications and computing, both in the classical and quantum regimes, stands to gain significantly from compact, dense encoding and manipulation of information u...
Examining how robustness and paralysis to the same stress manifests in iron-starved bacteria
Bacteria are ubiquitous with wide-ranging impacts on human health, agriculture, biotechnology, and the environment. In many circumstances, bacteria exist in non-ideal conditions wh...
CAREER: Principled System Design for Coordinated Management of Disaggregated Near-Hardware Data Processing Accelerators
Modern computing systems face increasing challenges due to the rapid growth of data-intensive applications such as machine learning, data analytics, and graph processing. Tradition...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: The role of social information in sentence processing: Adjectives, nouns, and contextual cues
Social information can be linguistically represented in many ways, such as with word endings or as part of the word’s definition. For example, some words are stereotypically gender...
MRI Track 1: Acquisition of a 80 MHz NMR to Facilitate Undergraduate Research and Education at Stevenson University
This award is funded by the Major Research Instrumentation Program and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Program in the Division of Chemistry. Professor Matthew Hudson from St...
CAREER: Towards Disaggregated Persistent Key-Value Stores
Modern data centers are evolving to become more environmentally sustainable and efficient by adopting resource-disaggregated infrastructure, known as disaggregated data centers. Th...
