Directional Dark Matter Detection: Advantages and ChallengesMost dark matter detectors hope to measure the energy deposited to an atom by dark matter interactions. Directional detectors are capable of measuring the momentum of the recoiling nucleus as well. This additional information can be used for particle discrimination, background rejection, confirmation of WIMP discovery, and even WIMP astronomy. ...

Fighting mosquito-borne diseases with mathematical models, genetic analysis and machine learningMalaria, dengue, Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases continue to pose a major global health burden through much of the world, despite the widespread distribution of insecticide-based tools and antimalarial drugs. Consequently, there is interest in novel strategies to control these diseases, including the release of mosquitoes transfected with Wolbachia and ...
Plate Mechanical Metamaterials and Their ApplicationsRecently, we introduced the concept of plate mechanical metamaterials - cellular plates with carefully controlled periodic geometry and unique mechanical properties - as well as its initial realization in the form of freestanding corrugated plates made out of an ultrathin film. We used atomic layer deposition (ALD) and ...
My research program is focused on developing molecular catalysts for energy conversion (redox) reactions. We focus on the thermochemistry of key bond-making and cleavage steps for H+ reduction to H2 and CO2 reduction to HCO2- in order to design more energy efficient catalysts. We also investigate the parameters that govern ...
