Kira Barton

The focus of the Barton Research Group lies at the intersection of smart manufacturing, robotics, and intelligent controls. Research in my group focuses on the development of cooperative and learning-based methods to harness information from complex systems to improve understanding and enhance the performance of these systems. Our research combines data-based learning with fundamental physics ...

Jiasi Chen

One project my group worked on is cost-efficient use of large language models (LLMs). Recently, there has been a proliferation of LLMs by multiple providers, each with different inference accuracy, monetary cost, and latency. If a user has a finite monetary budget and wants to use LLMs to solve a series of problems, how should ...

Anne McNeil

Our research aims to address some of the world’s biggest challenges through chemical recycling of waste plastics, developing methods to capture microplastics, measuring microplastics in the environment, and designing redox-active molecules for energy storage applications. Accomplishments and Awards

Xinyu Wang

My areas of expertise include programming languages, formal methods, software engineering, artificial intelligence, including their applications in data systems and data science. For example, how to derive insights from large amount of data for decision making; how to automatically synthesize SQL queries from high-level specifications (such as examples, natural language, etc.); how to formally verify ...

Gideon Bradburd

I am an evolutionary biologist interested in understanding the causes and consequences of genetic variation across time and space. One of the fundamental goals of evolutionary biology is to quantify patterns of genetic diversity within and between populations to enable the study of the processes that shape them. However, the development of key statistical methods ...

Hsing-Wen (Edward) Lin

As an observational astronomer, my primary research interests lie in the exploration and characterization of minor planets within and beyond our solar system. My work encompasses: Discovery of Distant Minor Planets: I actively engage in the search for distant minor planet populations that serve as a fossil record of our solar system. These remote bodies ...

Mark Burns

Many biological assays require detection and quantification of chemical species in aqueous solutions. Dr. Burns has worked to develop inexpensive and easy ways to fabricate sensors that can detect proteins, small molecules, and ions in biological fluids such as blood, urine, and saliva. The sensors use a combination of electrochemical reactions, steric hinderance, and optical ...

Brian Kiedrowski

Dr.Kiedrowski’s research focuses on the development of methods related to understanding the interactions and transport of particle radiation (neutrons, photons, and charged particles) within matter. To solve these problems, he employs both traditional numerical linear algebra methods and Monte Carlo simulations and apply data-driven approaches for the purpose of acceleration and uncertainty quantification. Specific projects ...

Brendon Watson

I am a neuroscientist and psychiatrist with the goal of understanding brain mechanisms related to both neuropsychiatric disease and to healthy brain function. My approach use advanced neuroscientific tools that give insight into neural circuit function in relation behavior. I trained under Drs. Rafael Yuste and Gyorgy Buzsaki and have expertise in cortical and hippocampal ...
