Project Description We have shown that very weak RF and magnetic fields can both increase and decrease the growth rates of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cancer cells and bacteria. These experiments are coupled with measurements of the changes in reactive oxygen species, ROS and other signaling molecules. Currently the measurements of the...

Project Description Western honey bee behavior and communication has been a subject of study for hundreds of years, yet much remains unknown about how they coordinate with each other to succeed as a colony without a central leader. In the Peleg lab, we investigate how they accomplish tasks such as...

Project Description The purpose of this project is to evaluate bones from humans and mice with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), where hyperglycemia and accumulation of increased collagen cross-links embrittle bone material. Humans with T1DM have a significantly elevated risk of bone fracture. This study will involve performing mechanical testing...

Project Description The McLeod lab, in collaboration with various groups at other universities/institutions, is developing a method of monitoring brain activity in mice in real time measurements. Specifically, the McLeod lab is tasked with fabricating and characterizing a gradient index (GRIN) lens with specific biological and mechanical properties. The GRIN...

Project Description Fluid and solid mechanics are modeled and simulated using partial differential equations, which accounts for a large fraction of compute time in research and industry engineering. Evolving hardware has shifted the relative costs and so-called higher order methods are becoming increasingly attractive from a computational standpoint, but are...

Project Description Physical models based on partial differential equations (PDE) offer strong generalization and interpretability, including ability to infer unobserved properties. Calibrating such models with observed data often requires propagation of derivatives through PDE solvers, constitutive relations (which describe complex materials), and data layers such as image processing. These components...

Project Description At the Emergent Nanomaterials Laboratory (ENL), we work at the forefront of materials research and come up with exciting applications for novel polymeric and soft materials. We are currently working on a biodegradable material, called cyclodextrin, which is formed when glucose molecules come together to form a ring...

Project Description Rust is a new systems programming language that is rapidly growing in popularity, but library support for parallel and GPU-enabled scientific computing remains limited. As compared to the status quo languages of C, C++, and Fortran, use of Rust creates the opportunity to make scientific software more accessible,...
