Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia worldwide. AD is caused by the slow aggregation of the amyloid (A) protein into amyloid plaques across the entire brain. Previous medical interventions for AD have focused on breaking apart amyloid plaques into smaller pieces which can be degraded by microglia phagocytosis and degradation in lysosomes. However, emerging evidence suggests that A proteins and plaques evade degradation within (...)

The goal of this project is to create, manipulate and control the atomic defects in van der Waals materials, such as Vb- centers in hexagonal boron nitride. These defects form effective two-level systems (qubit) and will be used as nanoscale quantum sensors for magnetic and electric field. The student will prepare the van der Waals material and heterostructure, and use quantum control protocols to identify and benchmark the qubits. As a stretch goal, new sensing protocols will be developed and tested (...)

Our research focuses on the return of internalized macromolecules to the cell surface from endosomes (endocytic recycling), a basic cell biological process that is of fundamental importance to many areas of biomedicine. For instance, endocytic recycling is a key control point in the insulin-stimulated movement of glucose transporters (Glut4) from endosomes to the plasma membrane, a process that goes awry in type II diabetes. A better understanding of how endocytic recycling functions will be profoundly (...)

Exploring connections between Volcano Crater Shape and Eruption Style
Studies of volcanic populations in distributed volcanic fields show considerable variations in cone morphology, including variations in planview shape, cone slope, and relative crater size. Amongst the multiple driving factors for cone morphology, the dominant eruption style and the balance between effusive and explosive activity have implications both for cone morphology (especially planview shape) and for hazards assessment.
