This article discusses the development of a co-produced research proposal. The authors reflect on process this work and some challenges that were experienced by team who had mix lived, clinical academic experience topic. We highlight need to embed trauma informed principles into ways in which doing so can support work. As such, focuses how we established safety, choice, collaboration, trustwort...

I want to construct a light-sensitive RNA polymerase that functions in vivo, where the template for RNA synthesis is conveyed via light pulses from outside the cell. I believe such a construct would have wide-ranging applications if it could be achieved.

This document proposes the development of the remote site workcell for teleoperation with significant communication delays (on the order of one to 20 seconds). In these situations, direct teleoperation becomes difficult to impossible due to the delays in visual and force feedback. Teleprogramming has been developed in order to overcome this problem. In teleprogramming, the human operator intera...

Despite the spread of software development and software usage, we have almost no dependable data on how software is actually written in practice. Understanding the shape of existing software is an important step to understanding what good software looks like. Our proposal is to undertake quantitative studies of the way software is actually written in practice and evolved over time by collecting...

A central appeal of algebraic geometry is that its functions are polynomials which can be written down as finite expressions. This makes the theory naturally combinatorial, in that polynomials are made up of a finite number of terms which interact through discrete rules. In practice, however, the operations performed on these polynomials are usually too complex for combinatorial methods to be o...

The advancement of DNA/RNA, proteins, and metabolite analytical platforms, combined with increased computing technologies, has transformed the field of microbial community analysis. This transformation is evident by the exponential increase in the number of publications describing the composition and structure, and sometimes function, of the microbial communities inhabiting the human body. This...

Super-resolution seeks to create a high-quality image of a scene from several lowquality images of the same scene. Though a literature of super-resolution applications exists, implementing super resolution successfully is apparently quite difficult. In fact, a student unsuccessfully attempted to implement super-resolution in a previous offering of this course. I will attempt the same task, but ...

Data structures are essential components of computer systems in general and Google in particular. We believe this area of research is in an auspicious position where practical and theoretical goals are well aligned, implying that deep algorithmic ideas can also have significant practical impact. We exemplify with a few examples from our past research, which address problems of universal value, ...
