In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Senna Aldoubosh and Noelle Kim sit down with Josh Leeman, a graduate student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. Leeman discusses his interest in applying technologies from condensed matter theory to quantum computing applications, how doing research remotely during the pandemic gave him insight on his research interests, and valuable advice for students when making their future plans.
In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Senna Aldoubosh sits down with Dr. Ruth Fong, a researcher and professor at Princeton in the COS department. Dr. Fong discusses her interest in computer vision and explainable AI, gives us insight into her lab’s (Looking Glass Lab) collaboration with the Visual AI Lab to learn more about AI biases, and offers the valuable advice of “finding your village” to students navigating academics.
In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Thiago Tarraf Varella sits down with Benjamin Muhoya, a graduate student in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department to learn more about his research. Benjamin discusses his research in hospitals prior to coming to Princeton, his research looking at the evolutionary perspective of the trends of noncommunicable diseases among different socioeconomic backgrounds in Turkana, and some exciting research results coming out soon.
Long-spreading rumors that the University may be planning to eliminate the computer science (COS) Bachelor of Science and Engineering (B.S.E.) major have apparently made their way into tours of the engineering school. Administrators are eager to clarify that the rumor has no basis in fact.
In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Senna Aldoubosh and Oyshee Lahiry sit down with Timothy W. Schwanitz, a graduate student in the McBride lab to learn more about his experience working at the lab. Timothy discusses his interest in insects and etymology, the research the McBride lab does, and advice for students in STEM.
In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Senna Aldoubosh and Lina Kim sit down with Dr. Andrés Monroy-Hernández, a professor in the Computer Science department to learn more about Social Computing. Dr. Monroy-Hernández discusses his journey into CS, creative uses for AI, and addressing AI biases.
In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Thiago Tarraf Varella sits down with Princeton researcher Dr. Jamey R. Szalay to discuss the science behind Jupiter's auroras. Dr. Szalay also discusses exciting NASA breakthroughs being made by the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) in learning about Europa, one of Jupiter's moons.
In this special episode of The Highlights, we interview Chino Eke ’22, a recent alum of the neuroscience department. We discuss his senior thesis research, which was completed under the guidance of Professor Elizabeth Gould, a professor and researcher in the University’s neuroscience department focused on brain plasticity. Chino’s paper investigates two types of social impairments in autistic mice, and what this may tell us about the future of autism research.
For most Princeton students, even the worst thunderstorm just means a wet walk home or a flooded basement in their dorm. But almost seven years after graduating, Renata Diaz ’15 still remembers the struggle of setting up a field experiment for her classes at Kenya’s Mpala Research Center, only for her assignment to be washed away in the downpour.
Nathaniel Fisch, the director of the Princeton Program in Plasma Physics, and a team of researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) received $1,499,953 in funding on Feb. 14 from the United States Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) for their project on refining an innovative form of fusion energy.
A team of Princeton University researchers recently elucidated the mechanisms involved in lung development using brown anole lizards as a model organism. Their developments represent a huge step towards the team’s continuing research surrounding lung tissue engineering and advancements.
More elephants in Mozambique are being born without tusks. An ocean and thousands of miles away, researchers at Princeton wanted to understand why.
Molecular biology professor Yibin Kang opened the doors to his lab in 2004. Since then, his lab has been researching cancer metastasis — the spread of cancers from a starting point to the rest of the body — using mouse models. In the Nov. 29 issue of Nature Cancer, his lab published not one, but two papers reporting an experimental treatment that has the potential to become the basis for a new cancer therapy.
In a recent study, chemical and biological engineering professor Sujit Datta and fifth-year graduate student Christopher Browne discovered why certain fluids increase in flow resistance under pressure when flowing through porous media — a question that has puzzled researchers for more than half a century.
For the first time in history, five individuals affiliated with the University have been honored with the Nobel Prize in a single year, as graduate alumni David Card GS ’83 and Joshua D. Angrist GS ’89 shared the 2021 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
