Towards Efficient Data Sharing in Platform Markets

Professor Geoff Parker is a co-author of this guest article on how platforms collect valuable data that they do not share, and welfare then suffers as information asymmetry produces market failures. The authors propose a novel solution that gives users privacy control yet allows third parties to create value with user permission.

More Accurate Ice Sheet Models

Professor Hélène Seroussi is senior author of "Increased sea-level contribution from northwestern Greenland for models that reproduce observations" published in PNAS. The study uses observational data and time-dependent physics to inform an ice flow model of northwestern Greenland glaciers. The model better matches historical observations and shows that future sea-level rise contribution from this region may be significantly larger than projected over the coming century. The paper also suggests a path forward for making the method scalable to the entire Greenland Ice Sheet.

Research Prize: Metamaterials

PhD student Xiangbei Liu received third prize in the 2025 Neukom Outstanding Graduate Research Awards. Her research with Yan Li’s Group uses machine learning to efficiently design metamaterials with zero Poisson's ratio that maintain their shape in the transverse direction when stretched or compressed, making them ideal for soft robotics and biomedical devices.

Improving Healthcare Access

Professor Vikrant Vaze is a co-author of "A novel outreach approach for identification of familial hypercholesterolemia: Interview-based formative evaluation to improve healthcare access and quality" published in PEC Innovation. "This was a collaborative effort with folks from DH and Geisel, as well as Family Heart Foundation. The study is aimed at designing and evaluating direct outreach and referral to specialty care for patients with an elevated risk of FH identified through a machine learning model and expert review of the electronic record in a rural US health system. It's an excellent human-centered design thinking exercise and it yielded a great deal of success," said Vaze.
