This research investigates how coccolithophores—microscopic marine algae that both absorb and release carbon dioxide—have influenced Earth's carbon cycle over the past three million years. Using fossil sediments, geochemistry, and machine learning,…
2026
This research investigates polyploid giant cancer cells, a highly treatment-resistant population responsible for cancer relapse. By studying their structural biology and dependence on lipid metabolism, the work identifies metabolic vulnerabilities…
2026
This research investigates how declining ovarian health influences brain aging and dementia risk. Using genetically engineered mouse models, it identifies inflammation and metabolic stress in the hippocampus associated with low egg quality,…

This research uses weak gravitational lensing to map the invisible distribution of dark matter within galaxy clusters. By measuring tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, it reconstructs total mass distributions, helping scientists…
2026
This research investigates geometric surfaces with prescribed mean curvature, inspired by the physics of bubbles. By constructing new mathematical surfaces from spheres and unduloids, it explores how curvature changes under motion, providing new…
