The site is hosted by the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the University of Michigan, the longest standing program of its kind in the United States. It … Read more

CAREER: Neural Fields for Efficient Representation and Exploratory Analysis of Heterogeneous Geospatial Signal Sets

Visualization and analysis of geospatial datasets play crucial roles in high-impact applications from agriculture to energy. However, these efforts are challenged by the large and heterogeneous nature of these datasets, which typically combine massive remote sensing signals (such as satellite images) with sparse sensors (such as ground temperature gauges), varying across sampling rates, data types, … Read more

CAREER: From sensing to action: Enabling robot speech, gestures, and touch to provide supportive responses for human emotional distress

In the United States, new patients often wait six to eight months to see a mental health provider. For individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, or severe emotional distress, these delays can leave critical gaps in care during moments when support is most needed. Research shows that effective emotional support often combines both verbal communication and physical … Read more

CAREER: Vehicle adaptive shared control: Predicting human driver cognitive and intent states for personalized control decisions by automated vehicles

Automated vehicles are becoming more capable, yet many crashes and failures still occur when people disengage or when the system behaves in ways that are difficult to understand. These problems reflect a deeper issue: current systems treat all users the same and fail to account for differences in individuals’ attention, intent, and decision-making. This project … Read more

Collaborative Research: Small: Immersive Multimodal Plan-to-Grasp Neural Decoders: Integrating Deep Graph-based and Adaptive Shared Control Theories

This project seeks to advance the science of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), in the context of helping people with upper limb impairments use brain activity to control prosthetic arms to reach and grasp objects. Current control techniques have real limitations: they generally either require surgically implanted probes to capture brain activity or support a limited range … Read more

REU Site: Undergraduate Research Experiences on Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure Systems in Smart Cities

The Ohio State REU Site on Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure Systems for Smart Cities (RSISSC) prepares undergraduates for careers in civil engineering research aimed at addressing pressing societal challenges associated with population growth, aging infrastructure, climate change, public health, and energy systems. A central focus is the efficient and sustainable management of infrastructure services through … Read more

REU Site: Extremal Graph Theory and Dynamical Systems at RIT

The REU Site in Extremal Graph Theory and Dynamical Systems at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will actively engage ten students in each of the summers of 2027, 2028, and 2029 in research experiences in the mathematical sciences. Research projects will span multiple areas and some of them will explore applications to quantum information … Read more

EPSCoR Research Fellows: NSF: Linking Numerical and Metabolic Theories of Life History

This Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) EPSCoR Research Fellows project provides a fellowship to an Assistant Professor and training for a graduate student at the University of Kentucky. This work is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Shripad Tuljapurkar at Stanford University. Through the fellowship, the PI will investigate how organisms allocate energy to growth, survival, and … Read more

CyberTraining: Pilot: Peer-Mentored HPC Bootcamps to Empower Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Users at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions

This project expands participation in cyberinfrastructure by creating a pathway that prepares undergraduate students at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions to become effective users of high performance computing and data intensive research technologies. Although advanced computing now drives discovery across STEM fields, students at smaller institutions often have limited opportunities to gain hands-on experience with these resources. … Read more

Travel: Student Travel Support for 2027 IEEE Radio & Wireless Week

The IEEE Radio & Wireless Week (RWW) covers a broad range of emerging research topics in radio wireless technologies, from theory to practical implementation, from integrated chips to large-scale systems, from kilohertz (kHz) to terahertz (THz), and from communications to sensing and space applications. It is sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society, … Read more
