SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Ajay Joshi (Electrical & Computer Engineering, College of Engineering) Today CMOS integrated circuits (ICs) are pervasively used in practically all consumer electronics, critical defense technologies and municipal support systems such as power and water supply services. At the same time, the supply chain and development cycle of IC chips have […]
SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Dylan Walker (Information Systems, Questrom School of Business) Our day-to-day activities have become increasingly embedded in the digital realm, with online social networks spreading information between individuals at a massive scale, surpassing geographic constraints and social boundaries. While the digitization of our interactions has unquestionable relevance to social, economic and behavioral […]
SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Emily Ryan (Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering) The development of integrated computational materials engineering methods is a critical aspect of the Materials Genome Initiative, which aims to reduce development time for advanced materials. The transformation of materials development from a trial and error experimental process to an integrated computational and […]
SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Cara Stepp (Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, College of Engineering) There are a host of speech disorders that can benefit from improved treatments, but limited understanding of what those treatments should look like. We know from basic neuroscience that more practice and more engaging practice is the key […]
SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Georgios Zervas (Marketing, Questrom School of Business) This research is an empirical study of the mechanisms underlying consumer engagement in the sharing economy. As decentralized peer-to-peer markets continue to emerge as plausible alternative suppliers of goods and services, researchers seek to answer the following questions through data analysis: a) what […]
SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Gustavo Schwenkler (Finance, Questrom School of Business) Financial markets regularly experience large shocks. From the great depression to the recent financial crisis – most financial market crises are characterized by large unexpected losses. These losses may affect corporations and governments in negative ways, reducing economic growth and increasing unemployment. This imposes real costs on society. It […]
SPRING 2015 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE Dino Christenson (Political Science, College of Arts & Sciences) and Taylor Boas (Political Science, College of Arts & Sciences) Many fields of study, from public health to psychology to political science, increasingly use online surveys as a research method. This project constitutes the first head-to-head comparison of convenience samples of […]
SPRING 2013 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE James Galagan (Biomedical Engineering and Microbiology, College of Engineering) The goal of this project was to develop predictive models of the complete regulatory and metabolic networks of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The aim is to use these models to computationally study the molecular programs that enable MTB to cause human disease in […]
SPRING 2012 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Benjamin Lubin (Information Systems, Quaestorum School of Business) and Keith Marzilli Ericson (Markets, Public Policy, and Law, Quaestorum School of Business) The operation of the health care system in the United States is extraordinarily complex, with many interactions among patients, doctors, insurers, governments, and other parties. This complexity also generates an extraordinary […]
SPRING 2012 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES Evimaria Terzi (Computer Science, College of Arts and Sciences) and Nachiketa Sahoo (Information Systems, Questrom School of Business) In many settings, individuals form teams and work together in order to complete a project. For example, within companies groups of employees perform tasks collectively in groups. Similarly, scientists merged their skills […]
