Josh's doctoral research involves designing deployment schemes for autonomous watercraft to monitor lakes for invasive carp, as an alternative to more controversial methods such as poisoning or quarantining waterways. Invasive carp dominate local ecosystems, overwhelming native fish, destroying plant life, and causing serious damage to water quality.
Jackie McCourt has had a love of proteins since her undergraduate days. Now, she studies the biophysical properties of the protein dystrophin and its role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Specifically, she's interested in the consequences of dystrophin mutations on the stability of this protein, and the implications on the development...
