headshot of Patrick Brezonic

Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering

Professor Emeritus, Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering

Research Interests:

Research during my career focused on the impacts of human activity on water quality, including the biogeochemical cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus and the behavior of trace metal contaminants in large natural systems (watersheds and lakes). Field and laboratory studies, including experimental manipulations in large systems, were emphasized. More recent research was primarily in three areas: (1) applications of remote sensing (mainly satellite imagery) to evaluate lake quality, (2) dissolved…

Rosana Esteller

Biomedical Engineering

Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering

Research Interests:

The Esteller Lab focuses on demonstrating proof of concept for promising neurotechnologies with the potential to transform patient care and enhance human conditions. We translate scientific insights into early-stage clinical solutions that deliver targeted stimulation energy to modulate the nervous system, using feedback-driven approaches informed by physiological signals, patient-reported measures, or other relevant sensing modalities to identify biomarkers and enable personalized therapy…

odde

Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science

Professor, Biomedical Engineering

Research Interests:

The Odde Lab is focused on how the fundamental thermodynamics, kinetics, diffusive transport, and mechanics of the molecular components of the cell enable basic cellular functions such as migration, division, and polarization. From these studies we are seeking to then understand how these go awry in the context of diseases such as brain cancer and Alzheimer's disease, and take corrective therapeutic action.

We use an integrated modeling-…

Joseph Konstan

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Professor, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Distinguished University Teaching Professor, Associate Dean for Research

Research Interests:

Joseph Konstan's work lies broadly in the field of human-computer interaction. Most of the work relates to recommender systems -- personalization software -- and how personalization algorithms can be improved to provide better user experience. He also works more broadly on social computing -- challenges in how technology supports (or fails to support) collaboration and on health applications of technology (particularly web and mobile behavioral interventions for health improvement).

Anwar Ali

Department of Computer Science and Engineering

Assistant Professor

Research Interests:

Ali Anwar’s research interests lie at the intersection of distributed systems and machine learning. The overarching goal of this research is to enable efficient and flexible systems for the growing data demands of modern applications, like distributed machine learning, running on existing as well as emerging computing platforms. Ongoing work focuses on (1) distributed machine/federated learning systems; (2) server-less and microservice-based systems; and (3) efficient storage for docker…
