Darien Wood is currently studying high energy (13 TeV) collisions of protons with the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. In particular, he is studying events which contain a Z boson and a large amount of missing transverse momentum. These events tell us about the production of pairs...
Professor Barberis’s research in experimental particle physics is focused on the study of matter at the smallest distance scale. She is currently working on CMS experiments. On the CMS experiment at the LHC collider at CERN, Prof. Barberis is studying collisions of protons at the world’s highest center of mass energy (currently 13...
Geoffrey Davies led the Humic Acids Research Group that studied the isolation, properties and structures of humic acids (HAs), the brown biomolecules responsible for water retention, metal binding and solute adsorption in soils and sediments. HAs in the earth contain more carbon than in all living things. HAs stick to...
Just about every field of research is confronted with networks. Metabolic and genetic networks describe how proteins, substrates and genes interact in a cell; social networks quantify the interactions between people in the society; the Internet is a complex web of computers; ecological systems are best described as a web...
Professor Spring’s group bridges biophysics, biomedical optics and cancer biology to selectively target micrometastases left behind by standard therapies that limit our ability to cure many cancers. Optical spectroscopic imaging and photophysics are applied to visualize and mop up these residual tumors. The ultimate goal of the program is to...
Research in my lab focuses on understanding hydrological extremes and their connections to the natural and built environment. We are interested in the influence of climate variability, greenhouse warming, urbanization, and land use on flood risk. We are also interested in how floods and climate-related disasters shape landscapes and the...
