The Clark laboratory uses computer simulations to model properties solutions and materials. Of particular interest are salt water solutions that are being proposed as new “green” battery electrolytes.
Read MoreModern computing and artificial intelligence have given us the power to simulate more and more complex biological systems. One of the ultimate goals would be to create a “virtual cell,” which would be a powerful tool for testing new medical treatments quickly and inexpensively.
Read MoreIn this stream, students will work to understand how transmission dynamics of infectious diseases impact control and elimination efforts; develop and apply mathematical and statistical methods to quantify infectious disease spread; and inform decision support for public health and healthcare response to outbreak.
Read MoreThis SRI stream introduces students to the intersection of chemistry, materials science, and automation. Students will use state-of-the-art robotic platforms to rapidly fabricate thin films of organic and hybrid semiconductor materials and characterize their optical, electrical, and structural properties.
Read MoreAll of us have been infected by a virus at some point or another. Rhinoviruses are the main culprit behind the common cold. But what if a pesky virus could help fight cancer?
Read MoreIn this research stream/we will learn about the tools and theory of Topological Data Analysis (TDA). Topological Data Analysis is an area of applied mathematics which uses the tools of topology and geometry to study the shape and structure of data.
Read MoreResearch in mosquito control is whimsical and complex, spanning topics in community ecology, population genetics, pathology, epidemiology, and fundamental principles like mosquito behavior.
Read MoreThe stream will include field work to Great Salt Lake, extraction of microbe and invertebrate DNA, sequencing analysis, and mathematical modeling.
