When will the Antarctic ice sheet collapse?

Professor Hélène Seroussi is quoted as the lead author of a study using collaborative modeling to better forecast the complex future of the Antarctic ice sheet. "The results show that beyond 2100, the long-term impact for the regions most susceptible to sea-level rise become amplified," she says.

Antarctic ice melt to cause catastrophic sea-level rise by 2300, study warns

Professor Hélène Seroussi is featured as lead author on a major study involving over 50 climate scientists. "When you talk to policymakers, they mostly focus on what will happen up to 2100," Seroussi said. "Our study provides longer-term projections that have been lacking."

Nanoparticle-Based Biosensors

PhD candidate Gabby Moss and Professor Sol Diamond co-authored "Effects of Salt Concentration on a Magnetic Nanoparticle-Based Aggregation Assay with a Tunable Dynamic Range," published in Sensors. The team experimentally demonstrated the effects of salt concentration on magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) biosensing efficacy and mathematically modeled MNP stability in solutions with different salt concentrations. "Our work can be leveraged to design an in vivo nanoparticle-based biosensor with enhanced efficacy in the event of varying salt concentrations," says Moss.

NIH Cancer Imaging Award

Professors Geoffrey Luke and Kim Samkoe were awarded a $2.2 million four-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "The project is focused on combining ultrasound imaging with tumor-targeted nanodroplets to detect the presence of oral cancer in lymph nodes," says Luke. The research could lead to better diagnosis and fewer surgeries.

INFORMS AAS Best Paper Award

Professor Vikrant Vaze received the INFORMS AAS Best Paper Award as co-author of, "Vertiport Planning for Urban Aerial Mobility: An Adaptive Discretization Approach" published in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management. The paper optimizes the number, locations, and capacities of vertiports for electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles in urban aerial mobility (UAM) systems while capturing interdependencies between vertiport deployment, tactical operations, and passenger demand.

Metamaterial Designs for Better Energy Harvesting

PhD students Ya Tang, Huan Zhao, and Xiangbei Liu, alum Jace Henry '24, and Professor Yan Li co-authored "Design of metamaterial thermoelectric generators for efficient energy harvesting," published in Energy Conversion and Management: X. The team demonstrated that thermoelectric generators (TEGs) incorporating metamaterial designs offer significant potential to enhance energy harvesting efficiency and broaden application possibilities. "By capturing waste heat from industrial processes, vehicles, and electronic devices, these metamaterial-based TEGs can contribute to energy conservation and promote environmental sustainability," says Li.
