Karen Smith

I work in algebraic geometry, especially over finite fields. The set of points on an algebraic variety over particular subfields forms an interesting sequence of data sets. Studying it may, I hope, unlock some secrets of algebraic curves or surfaces or higher dimensional objects. I am also interested in connecting statistical forms of AI (machine ...

Xiaofan Liang

My research focused on using computational approaches and spatial and social network methods to advance understanding and solutions for contemporary urban challenges. My current research has two themes: 1) examining how urban network infrastructure (e.g., transportation, social, or digital infrastructure) can simultaneously be inclusive and exclusive, offering connectivity and access for certain populations, places, or ...

Grant Schoenebeck

My current research combines machine learning tools and economic approaches (e.g game theory, mechanism design, and information design) to develop and analyze systems for eliciting and aggregating information from of diverse group of agents with varying information, interests, and abilities. This work applies to scenarios where a collective decision-making process is required, such as peer ...

Dr. Van Berkel is an assistant professor at The University of Michigan, School for Environment and Sustainability. His research focuses on understanding land change at diverse scales; the physical and psychological benefit of exposure to natural environments; and how digital visualization of data can add new place-based knowledge in science and community decision-making. He has ...

Cheng Li

My research focuses on developing advanced numerical models and computational tools to enhance our understanding and prediction capabilities for both terrestrial and extraterrestrial climate systems. By leveraging the power of data science, I aim to unravel the complexities of atmospheric dynamics and climate processes on Earth, as well as on other planets such as Mars, ...

Alauddin Ahmed

My core research expertise involves developing and employing a wide array of computational methods to discover, design, and characterize materials and systems that address critical challenges in energy and the environment. These methods span from stochastic techniques to molecular dynamics, density functional theory, quantum chemistry, and data science. Beyond contributing fundamental design principles for high-performing ...
