2026
This research investigates earthquake risks associated with underground carbon dioxide storage. By studying seismic activity at the Decatur CO2 storage project, the work improves predictive geological models that account for hidden subsurface…
2026
This research introduces iCares, a smart wound-monitoring bandage designed to detect infection and inflammation before visible symptoms appear. Using biosensors, fluid sampling, and machine learning, the system provides real-time wound analysis,…
2026
This research improves photoacoustic imaging, a technique that uses light-generated sound waves to visualize tissue oxygenation deep inside the body. By calibrating measurements using highly oxygenated arterial blood, the method overcomes…
2026
This research focuses on the total synthesis of natural products, biologically important molecules produced by nature. Using pedrolide, an anticancer compound, as a case study, the work applies strategic molecular “deconstruction” to identify simple…
2025
Victor's research investigates dynamic weakening, a process that can allow small earthquakes to grow into devastating megaquakes. Using supercomputer simulations of the San Andreas Fault, the study explores how stress, fluids, friction, and…
2025
This research investigates atmospheric trace elements as indicators of pollution sources, focusing on toxic metal emissions from urban firestorms during the Eaton Canyon and Palisades fires. Elevated airborne lead concentrations prompted the…
2025
This research develops tabletop methods for studying rare radium-containing molecules to search for broken symmetries between matter and antimatter. Because radium’s asymmetric nuclear structure strongly amplifies subtle physical effects, these…
