Kyoko Yoshida
She/Her

Biomedical Engineering

Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering

Research Interests:

Pregnancy stands at the interface of mechanics and biology. The Pregnancy Research & Engineering Group focuses on understanding how soft tissues grow, remodel, and adapt during pregnancy. Specifically, we are interested in how hormonal and mechanical signaling interact to drive this critical process to support a healthy pregnancy. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches from biomechanics and computational systems biology to understand these interactions.

Research Summary

Boiteau’s research is focused on addressing the growing impact of humans on the environment, which has vastly outpaced our ability to monitor and prevent negative consequences of industrialization, pollution, and climate change. In many cases, solutions are…

Professor Philip Cohen

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Emeritus faculty, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Research Interests:

As devices and nanostructures become ever smaller, the surface or interface to volume ratio becomes so large that these surfaces and interfaces dominate device performance.  My interest has been to develop new methods to fabricate and control these interfaces, develop new tools to characterize them, and finally to use these tools to measure and understand the new properties of the engineered nanomaterials that we have learned to prepare.

Data Science

Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Research Interests:
Research Interests

My research interests include pattern recognition, statistical learning theory, and artificial neural networks. This is also known as predictive learning, where the goal is to estimate a good predictive model from available data. Predictive learning broadly overlaps with data mining, statistical estimation, signal processing, and artificial intelligence. I am interested in both theoretical foundations of statistical learning, and various practical…

Physics

Postdoctoral Researcher

Research Interests:

High energy physics at collider experiments. I currently work on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, located at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). My general interests include searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model and the development of new detector components and technologies for use in future experiments. I'm also interested in novel data analysis techniques such as machine learning as applied to both of these areas.

Jane Davidson

Mechanical Engineering

Professor, Mechanical Engineering

Director, Solar Energy Laboratory

Research Interests:
  • Harvesting and storing the earth’s most abundant energy source for use in our homes, workplaces and automobiles are the core values of my research.
  • Heat water, to warm and cool buildings, and to provide heat for industry and agriculture focuses on improving the thermal behavior of these systems.
  • Development of new materials to reduce cost and to provide long-term storage for cold climates.
  • “Reenergize” CO2 and H2O back into hydrocarbon form using solar energy as…
