New York State Archives Accepting Entries for the 32nd Annual Student Research Awards

Submissions Accepted Through July 1, 2022

The New York State Archives and Archives Partnership Trust are now accepting entries for the 2022 New York State Student Research Awards program, State Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa announced today. In its 32 nd year, the Student Research Awards program is a statewide historical research competition for students in grades four through twelve. This annual program provides an award to students whose projects are selected as winners in the elementary, middle school, and high school divisions.

The Student Research Awards program encourages students to explore the wealth of historical records held in repositories in New York State. The program also increases cooperation among schools and organizations with historical records useful for education.

“Our nation’s most prestigious historians were compelled to pursue research to learn from the past and address social problems,” said Board of Regents Chancellor Lester W. Young, Jr. “By providing opportunities for this type of engagement at a young age, we are empowering young people across the state to look for solutions and drive change in our communities and beyond.”

“Students who have the opportunity to grow and excel outside the classroom are more engaged in the classroom,” said Commissioner Rosa. “Through this competition, young New Yorkers will immerse themselves in our state’s history, get excited about learning, and create projects that inspire their peers and fellow citizens.”

All projects must be based on original historical research that uses historical records, contains an annotated bibliography, and be nominated by a mentor. Mentors can be educators, parents, or another adult community member. Projects can be submitted on any topic and in any format, including video, research paper, or exhibits. The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2022.

These awards are funded by generous contributions from the Chodos Family Fund and other donors to the Archives Partnership Trust, a 501(c)3 organization. The Trust builds education, preservation, and outreach programs not funded by the state, making accessible over 350 years of New York’s colonial and state government records housed in the State Archives. The State Archives is a program of the New York State Education Department.

Please visit the New York State Archives website for detailed guidelines, application materials on the Student Research Awards, or to learn more about the 2021 winners and their projects.

Life Sciences Excellence Award Winners 2022

From left to right: Daniel Toker, Eileen Mansoorian, Dean Tracy Johnson, Hanna Mikkola, Melissa Sharpe, Alvaro Sagasti, Eric Caldera, Christina Del Carpio, Benjamin Ha, Rana Khankan, Alec Baird, Stephanie Correa (Not pictured: Casey Youngflesh and JoAnn Roberts)

Excellence in Research

Full professor:

Dr. Hanna Mikola • Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology

“ Mapping human haematopoietic stem cells from haemogenic endothelium to birth ”

This research offers great hope to patients who suffer from blood disorders. The publication of this research provides a “road map” of human blood stem cell development, that can guide scientists to create these life-saving stem cells in a laboratory from a patient’s own cells.

Assistant Professor:

Dr. Melissa Sharpe • Psychology

“ Past Experience Shapes the Neural Circuits Recruited for Future Learning ”

This research provides new insights on how memories are encoded in the brain. Specifically, it demonstrates that prior experience with reward learning can prime the brain’s hypothalamus to encode fear memories, and that the amygdala is not the brain’s sole “fear center”, as commonly thought. More generally, these studies challenge ideas that certain areas of the brain are specialized to encode a particular type of information and that prior experiences determine where and how memories are formed.

Postoctoral Fellow:

Dr. Daniel Toker • Psychology

“ Consciousness is supported by near-critical slow cortical electrodynamics”

Findings of this research show that when we’re in a conscious state, the electrical activity of our brain is neither stable nor chaotic, but somewhere in between. This, in turn, supports our brain’s ability to process information during waking states.

Dr. Casey Youngflesh • Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

“ Migratory strategy drives species-level variation in bird sensitivity to vegetation green-up ”

Using 7 million community-contributed data points (representing 56 species, accumulated over 16 years) this research quantifies and models how bird migration is responding to changes in the arrival of spring across eastern North America.

PhD. Candidate:

Alec Baird • Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

“ Developmental and biophysical determinants of grass leaf size worldwide ”

This research demonstrates that grasses have shorter and narrower leaves under colder and drier climates, worldwide, and that small grass leaves have thermal advantages and vein development, which explains the abundance of small leaves in cold and dry climates.

Excellence in Educational Innovation

Alvaro Sagasti • Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology

Over the last two years, Sagasti completely overhauled his method for teaching Cell Biology to Life Science Majors. He designed a “flipped” course with pre-recorded lectures that students watched before class. Then, in class, students discussed concepts & experiments. In addition to covering what is known about cell biology, the course also discusses the methodologies and experiments that produced this knowledge, which allows students to develop a more sophisticated understanding of how the scientific method advances discovery and our understanding of biology.

Academic Administrator:

Rana Khankan • Life Sciences Core

Dr. Khankan has taught LS 7C (Physiology and Human Biology) to over 1,400 students during the current academic year. For this course, she created a digital educational tool called “the escape room game”. The game helps students learn how CRISPR is used for gene editing in research settings, as well as in treatment of disease. She designed this activity with a focus on teamwork and digital technology. Working in groups, students solve a series of complex gene editing problems that require navigating free, publicly accessible online databases and genome browsers. This creative, problem-solving game engages students and increases their motivation to learn challenging concepts. It also helps students see how these concepts are applied to basic & translational research.

PhD. Candidate :

Benjamin Ha • Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

As a UCLA Collegium of University Teaching Fellow, Benjamin designed his own seminar for Winter 2022 called “The History and Racism of Biology Research: Working towards an Anti-Racist Science Future”. In this seminar, Ha discusses multiple aspects of racism that permeate our recollection of biological research. For example, when discussing the traditional history of Darwin’s influence on evolution, he includes the untold history of John Edmonstone, a former enslaved man who taught Darwin taxidermy; he also discusses Henrietta Lacks’ stolen cells that were paramount to establishing the field of cell biology. Ha has also been actively involved with CEILS, through which he has designed and implemented several workshops for UCLA faculty on anti-racist approaches to education and learning.

Excellence in Promoting Diversity & Inclusion

Stephanie Correa • Integrative Biology and Physiology

Professor Correa’s leadership in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts have had a wide impact on the UCLA community. She has served on 13 university committees or programs with major goals of furthering excellence at UCLA and beyond, through increased DEI. Correa has developed research and career lectures for Research Deconstruction courses at Glendale Community College, Santa Monica Community College, and Fresno State University. She serves as DEI Advisor for the MBI , is on the Faculty Advisory Committee for the Chicano Studies Research Center, on Life Sciences Diversity Advisory Committee, and is Chair of her department’s Anti-Racism Ta skforce. Correa is also recognized as a strong advocate for normalizing motherhood in academic spaces.

In her laboratory, Dr. Correa has recruited and mentored 14 trainees from marginalized, racial or ethnic groups, since 2016.

Nationwide, Correa was Chair of the DEI Committee for the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, from 2019-2021. In this capacity, she organized inclusive mentorship workshops, a town hall on sexism, and designed two scientific symposia that highlighted the work of Black, Latinx and LGBTQ neuroendocrinologists. In 2020, she was recognized as 1 of 100 Inspiring Hispanic/Latinx Scientists in America by Cell Mentor/Cell Press & Science Signaling Technology.

Postdoctoral Fellow:

Eric Caldera • Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

As a first-generation Latinx Ph.D., Dr. Caldera was committed to “paying it forward” to the next generation. As a postdoc, he has done an exceptional job using his research program as a platform for mentoring and inspiring students from diverse backgrounds.

Dr. Caldera has mentored 10 students in The Diversity Project, a UC-HBCU funded program, focused on diversifying graduate students. Of the 10 students he mentored (all Black or Latinx) 7 are currently in graduate school. To provide similar pathways to community college students, Dr. Caldera developed a parallel program at UCLA, called Marine Science Pathways Program, that provides marine research opportunities & supports community college students’ transition to 4-year colleges. He has also participated in UCLA’s Bruins in Genomics Summer program, mentoring diverse students who are interested in research using bioinformatics and big data. Similarly, he has mentored students from PEERS, UCLA’s largest program supporting diverse STEM majors.

Dr. JoAnn Roberts • Center for Education Innovation & Learning in the Sciences (CEILS)

Dr. Roberts has exhibited an exceptional commitment to teaching excellence and to equity, inclusion and justice in STEM; as an IRACDA postdoctoral fellow, a Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) scholar; and currently as the inaugural CEILS postdoctoral scholar. As a CIRTL scholar, Dr. Roberts secured UC-HBCU grant funding to sponsor HBCU undergraduate students for both year-long mentorship and summer research internships. As a CEILS postdoc, Dr. Roberts has led the Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity (JEDI) antiracism program. She has spearheaded a series of workshops on Becoming an Anti-Racist Educator, a collaboration between DGSOM and CEILS, which will now also be offered to the Life and Physical Sciences faculty. Dr. Roberts also co-leads UCLA’s Black Scholars in Bioscience, a group focused on creating a safe and supportive space for Black Scholars at UCLA.

As a postdoctoral scholar for the NSF INCLUDES Aspire Alliance Award, Dr. Roberts provides mentorship to the diverse cohort of UCLA Aspire Interns, who are postdoctoral scholars seeking to obtain teaching positions in the area. Together with collaborators at regional institutions, she mentors UCLA future faculty through the process of applying for competitive internship programs and teaching positions at 2-and 4-year institutions in the area.

Ph.D. Candidate:

Christina Del Carpio • Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

As a 5 th year Ph.D. student, Del Carpio has made many contributions to improving DEI at UCLA. They have provided invaluable leadership as their department’s Faculty-Student Liaison; served on the EEB Anti-racism Task Force, advocating for better support of trans & non-binary students and ensuring that language used in departmental reports is inclusive; been a strong advocate for first-generation Latinx and LGTBQ students; and involved in developing a pipeline program for URM undergraduates who want to pursue a graduate degree in Ecology.

Tina has also served as a board member of the UCLA SACNAS chapter and has been a speaker and panelist for prospective URM graduate students at events hosted by Graduate Division’s Diversity, Inclusion and Admission office and other departments across the Life Sciences. Additionally, they helped to make access to Counseling & Psychological Services and Financial Wellness Center Resources transparent and easier to navigate for their fellow graduate students.

Life Sciences Administrative Staff Excellence Award

Life Sciences Administrative Staff:

Eileen Mansoorian • Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Eileen has made significant contributions to the UCLA Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology this past year. Here are some of her exemplary accomplishments over the past year:

2022 SCB Graduate Student Research Award Winners

The Society is awarding ten graduate students with $1,000 fellowships this month to carry out field research on their topic area in conservation.

This year’s winners were selected from an applicant pool of 36 students, from all SCB sections, whose projects ranged from improving our knowledge about drivers of biodiversity loss to strategies for restoration and management.

“The judging panel felt very excited about the projects submitted this year, which included approaches from the biological and social sciences. Unfortunately, a final decision had to be made to choose this year’s awardees, so we encourage those who were not selected this year to continue their important work”, SCB Board Member and Awards Committee Chair, Eduardo Gallo-Cajiao said. “This cohort of awardees represents projects at the forefront of conservation science with great potential for having an impact on conservation scholarship and practice.”

The Graduate Student Research Fellowship Program is in its seventh year and is supported by Wiley, the publisher of SCB journals Conservation Biology , Conservation Letters and Conservation Science & Practice .

“The projects do not only concern a wide range of themes, but also a wide range of dimensions within the biodiversity spectrum. While some of the projects aim to evaluate and inform the implementation and performance of conservation strategies, such as incentive tools and behavioral change, others focus on biodiversity conservation beyond protected areas, including human-animal interactions and food production systems. Importantly, the projects address conservation needs of a range of taxa with high priority, such as the Wied’s marmoset, the African manatee, and the Chinese pangolin” Eduardo said. “We wish all awardees a successful completion of their projects and look forward to seeing their outcomes”.

Congratulations to the winners:

Fiennes Sicily, UK; Auguste Renoir, Trinidad and Tobago; Ramakrishna Ishika, India; Clinton Factheu, Cameroon; Meghan Shaw, Australia; Alaya Keane, USA; Joseph Hamm, UK; Nischal Shrestha, Nepal; Alejandro Grajal-Puche, USA; George Malembo M'manga, Malawi.

The heca student research awards (hsra) 2022.

The call for the HECA Research Student Awards (HSRA) is now open.

The HECA Student Research Committee is inviting students at HECA member higher education institutions to submit digital posters that relate directly to their research study.

The HSRAs was established in 2020 by the HECA Research Committee with the aim of showcasing the current student research to the wider academic community. Last year’s HSRA was very successful and due to demand, the HSRA have extended categories to both static and dynamic eposters. The posters will be assessed by a panel of research experts, and the academic posters will be displayed on the HECA website in November and the winners will be announced at the HECA Research Conference in November 2022 (final date to be confirmed).

Call Opens: 30 th of June 2022. Deadline: 10 th of October 2022.

To submit your poster, click here

What is the purpose of the HECA Student Research Awards?

The HECA Student Research Awards (HSRA) is an opportunity for students to showcase their research to a wider academic community.
The aim is to promote the research studies that are currently being undertaken in our colleges, and to support and encourage further study in these areas.
A panel of research experts from a number of academic institutions will assess the posters and decide on a winner.
The best static / dynamic e-poster entries will be awarded the 2022 HSRA Prize.
The winner and runners-up will be announced at the HECA Research event in November 2022 and will also be announced on the HECA website.

How do I participate in the HECA Student Research Awards?

Design a concise visual representation of your scholarly research.

Static poster (one slide)
Dynamic poster (students can decide on their media but are limited to two slides with 10 hyperlinks).
Contact your college supervisor, lecturer, or programme director if you need any digital assistance, or academic support, with this project.
Poster submissions to the HECA website will be accepted from the 30th of June – 10th of October 2022 via a submission form.

How do I submit my poster to the HECA website?

All entries need to be submitted by Monday 10 th of October 2022.
Entries should be made through the online submission which opens on Thursday June 30th, 2022.

What are the characteristics of a good poster?

Begin by summarizing the central message of your poster in one or two sentences.
Headings should be used to guide your viewer to important features in your research.
The language used should be clear and concise.
Use only two types of fonts. Font types like Arial or Verdana are used extensively in posters.
Use bullets and numbering lists to identify important points.
Use images in a manner that respects copyright provisions.
Use graphics that are self-explanatory and appealing.
References and works cited can be displayed in smaller text, but not so small as to require the viewer to focus closely to read them.
Proofread the poster for spelling, grammar, readability, etc. Ask friends and family for feedback on your poster.
A template for a static research e-poster is available to download here but applicants do not have to follow this template and can be as creative as they like.
Further information on research posters is available at the following https://libguides.dbs.ie/pp/introduction .

The HECA Research Committee look forward to receiving your posters anytime between 30 th of June 2022 and 10 th of October 2022. If you have any further queries regarding the HECA Student Research Awards (HSRA), please contact any member of the research committee:

Tenodera sinensis, commonly known as the Chinese mantis is an insect that experiences sexual cannibalism where the female consumes the male before, during, or after copulation. In some breeding seasons, males make up a large part of the female diet. Although the female seemingly benefits from this sexual relationship, the evolutionary maintenance is poorly understood. It is unclear whether this relationship is an example of sexual conflict or if the male is complicit in his cannibalization. We are attempting to identify and use polymorphic microsatellite loci to experimentally measure the male mating frequency. This will allow us to track the changes in male mating frequency through breeding seasons and therefore further understand this unique sexual relationship.

"Inflammation is the normal immune response to fight infection, however chronic inflammation is detrimental and associated with various diseases such as autoimmune diseases, cancer and COVID-19. Small molecule compounds that can inhibit inflammation are of significant scientific interest. Food-derived peptides can exhibit anti-inflammatory properties with limited side effects. Previous reports have shown that the potato-derived peptide DIKTNKPVIF has anti-inflammatory properties. In this work, we investigated the ability of the potato derived DIKTNKPVIF (P1) to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response. "

This project considers how do-it-yourself publishing impacts a culture. Spending time with the mimeograph, punk rock zines, and localizedart communities, the research views artmaking in an interdisciplinary way, correlating a community's media representations with its overall ethos. What similarities does a Beat-era chapbook have with a D.C. punk fanzine? Exploration across literary movements and musical subcultures will influence the design of an original publication, which will draw from our own time and place, to conclude the project.

Involvement of Barentsz in gurken mRNA Translation in D. melanogaster

Gurken is a signal molecule responsible for dorsal/ventral patterning of the Drosophila melanogaster oocyte. During oogenisis, gurken ( grk ) mRNA must be localized to the dorsal-anterior corner of the oocyte before undergoing translation; a lack of translation results in ventralized eggshells. The Ferguson Lab recently identified Barentsz (Btz) as a suppressor of the ventralized phenotype. Btz is a core component of the Exon Junction Complex, but little else is known about the protein’s role in translation. To characterize this novel interaction between Btz and grk mRNA, we are currently working to optimize the immunoprecipitation of a Btz-GFP chimera. Once the immunoprecipitation assay is functional, qRT-PCR will be performed on the resulting precipitate to quantify the amount of grk mRNA associated with Barentsz.

Inhibition of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps to prevent vascular inflammation

Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in circulation. As part of their innate defense mechanisms to protect the host from microbes, neutrophils release extensions of their cellular structure called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, NETs formation has been described as a double-edged sword and NET products increase adhesion of white blood cells to the vasculature and thereby cause blockade of the vasculature. Hence, NET formation can exacerbate the inflammatory response and contribute to the pathology of several diseases including sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, cancer and COVID-19. In this project, we will investigate the role of NETs in increasing adhesion of white blood cells in the vasculature using static and flow cell culture methods. Our goal is to use small molecule inhibitors of NET formation to prevent damage to the vasculature caused by the formation of NETs.

2022 Undergraduate Research Mentor Award Winners

The Undergraduate Faculty Research Mentor Award for 2022 was presented to Dr. Michael David Franklin for mentoring UROP student Nadia Rassech in research on the LGBT Oral History Project of North Florida.

Dr. Michael David Franklin "Good mentorship is a collaboration between mentor and student. I see undergraduate students as important collaborators whose questions and novel approaches to problems drive the success of my public history research, for which effective public engagement is crucial. Knowing what students new to public history do not know helps me think productively about how to tell the story of my research findings to a general audience. Thus, I have the opportunity to shape and inform how my students formulate questions and how they use methods to answer those questions, and in doing so I create clear structure for them in which to grow as researchers. At the same time, I listen to my students, foster conversations among them about contemporary examples of publicly engaged history, and use this information to better understand my own blind spots and assumptions. This exchange is mutually beneficial: as they grow as novice researchers and young professionals learning how to draw from their curiosity to work together and creatively solve problems, I grow by absorbing what their new ideas teach me and by gaining new ways of seeing the world. Ultimately, I balance my mentorship and project leadership with this democratic mode of collaborative knowledge production. The end result is the creation of a dynamic community in which students and I are fellow interlocutors, researching the world around us in a mutually transformative way."

—Dr. Michael David Franklin, from his mentoring statement

“ While during winter break, visiting the SFPL was by far one of my most memorable academic experiences from my first semester at college. While finalizing our UROP contract, I had been excited to hear that so much material was held not too far away from my hometown in California. I knew I’d be going home for winter break, but the prospect of me having the opportunity to visit the SFPL was initially just that: a prospect. While my tasks as a UROP mentee started with transcription work, the freedom that Dr. Franklin was willing to give me and my fellow UROP student opened up a variety of opportunities for the both of us. Dr. Franklin continuously stressed letting us use our own passions to direct our involvement, whether that be working to design a digital version of a museum display, helping with outreach, partaking in interviews, writing a blog post related to our project, or even working on a podcast, Dr. Franklin was always open to new ideas.

Not only was he willing to hear our ideas, but he was committed to implementing them as well. Throughout the semester, Dr. Franklin worked to get in touch with archivists at the library and figure out what I would have access to once there. The archivists were so well informed about our project and what was needed when I got there, thanks to Dr. Franklin and his thorough communication, that I was not only able to work more efficiently, but I felt supported and less stressed about my previously minimal archival experience. Throughout my three days at the SFPL, Dr. Franklin was also on standby, taking moments out of his travels to answer my questions and thank me for what I was doing. I am thankful to have him as my UROP mentor, as he allowed me to expand my role as a mentee and play a significant role in the curation of our museum exhibit."

—Nadia Rassech, UROP student 2021-2022, from her nomination letter

The Post-Doc Undergraduate Research Mentor Award for 2022 was presented to Dr. Daniel Dunleavy . Dr. Dunleavy mentored UROP student Conqualla Scott on "Social Determinants and Comorbidity in Minority Groups."

Dr. Dunleavy

"I would describe my teaching and mentoring philosophy as being student-centered and humanistic. This is influenced by two factors.

First is my educational and professional background. I am a social worker by education and training. Social work, as a profession, places high value on self-determination and emphasizes the importance of human relationships. The goals of a client (or in the academic setting: the student) are front and center and the task of the helper (i.e., the social worker, teacher, mentor, etc.) is to create a safe environment in which to build trust and to foster growth, change, and self-actualization. As a researcher and academic, I try to incorporate these values into the mentoring relationship – emphasizing student-centered learning and objectives."

—Dr. Dunleavy, from his mentoring statement

" Daniel Dunleavy exemplifies all of the qualities that make a phenomenal mentor. From the moment that I met him; he was nothing short of amazing. My entire UROP experience has been exceptional and exceeded my expectations. I began this experience with a minimal amount of knowledge regarding research and I struggled with my ability to participate in such an important research study. Daniel has not only been helpful professionally and academically, but personally as well.

My journey as a first-generation, minority student at a predominantly white institution has been very difficult and hard to adjust to. From the moment that we met, Daniel reassured me of my abilities and helped me understand that it is okay to be imperfect. He helped me reaffirm that I am fully capable of achieving the goals that I set. During the fall semester, I especially experienced imposter syndrome because my classes were significantly harder, and I had no one in my classes who looked like me. This was very harmful to my mental health and negatively impacted my college experience. During this time, even though we were virtual, and he was dealing with his own personal matters with maternity leave, he was by my side and helped me. I really appreciate how he was willing to listen to my grievances and aid in my adjustment to being in a place where I am often ostracized. "

—Conqualla Scott , UROP student 2021-2022, from her nomination letter

The Graduate Student Undergraduate Research Mentor Award for 2022 was presented to Bobbie Renfro . Jennifer mentored Remi Ventura in researching " The Aquaculture of Sponges, the Coral Reef Superheroes, in a Closed Laboratory System. "

Bobbie Renfro

"As a mentor, I strive to provide mentees with the same opportunities that my past mentors provided to me, a safe and supportive environment to: 1) follow curiosity, 2) take on new challenges, and 3) explore the world of marine biology, both through scientific research and public outreach, even if these are not their primary career aspirations. While providing these opportunities, I work also to guide mentees in developing basic professional skills which will benefit them in a variety of careers, should they decide that marine biology is not ultimately for them. By using marine biological research as a framework to develop these universally beneficial skills, I hope to simultaneously inspire an excitement for the natural world and promote professional success for my mentees no matter where their career path leads."

—Bobbie Renfro, from her mentoring statement

" Bobbie Renfro is an outstanding mentor, and I could not have asked for a better one. While many UROP students are assisting graduate students or Ph.D. candidates on their research, Bobbie really let me take the reigns in deciding how we would spend our time. She outlined multiple projects that she was interested in and let me choose which one to move forward with. We chose to try and cultivate sponges in a closed system and she was super supportive throughout the entire process. She was always there when I had questions or needed guidance and provided me with the utmost support. We worked together to determine the most successful set up for the project and she allowed me to test my ideas, while still providing me insight.

Unlike other research mentors, she is very understanding, flexible, and wants me to get as much as I can out of this program. She always gives me the opportunity to learn and delve into different projects around the lab, answers my abundance of questions, and even sends me resources she believes I may be interested in. I interviewed for many different positions when UROP first started and Bobbie was the only mentor to make me feel like she was looking out for my education above finishing her thesis and Ph.D. She is excited to hear what I have to say and work closely with me. Bobbie is always looking for ways to improve my ability in the lab, even bringing in prior students of hers to discuss my projects with and connect with"

MyU : For Students, Faculty, and Staff

CS&E Colloquium: Co-Designing Algorithms and Hardware for Efficient Machine Learning (ML): Advancing the Democratization of ML

The computer science colloquium takes place on Mondays and Fridays from 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. This week's speaker, Caiwen Ding ( University of Connecticut ), will be giving a talk titled, "Co-Designing Algorithms and Hardware for Efficient Machine Learning (ML): Advancing the Democratization of ML".

The rapid deployment of ML has witnessed various challenges such as prolonged computation and high memory footprint on systems. In this talk, we will present several ML acceleration frameworks through algorithm-hardware co-design on various computing platforms. The first part presents a fine-grained crossbar-based ML accelerator. Instead of attempting to map the trained positive/negative weights afterwards, our key principle is to proactively ensure that all weights in the same column of a crossbar have the same sign, to reduce area. We divide the crossbar into sub-arrays, providing a unique opportunity for input zero-bit skipping. Next, we focus on co-designing Transformer architecture, and introduce on-the-fly attention and attention-aware pruning to significantly reduce runtime latency. Then, we will focus on co-design graph neural network training. To explore training sparsity and assist explainable ML, we propose a hardware friendly MaxK nonlinearity, and tailor a GPU kernel. Our methods outperform the state-of-the-arts on different tasks. Finally, we will discuss today's challenges related to secure edge AI and large language models (LLMs)-aided agile hardware design, and outline our research plans aimed at addressing these issues.

Caiwen Ding is an assistant professor in the School of Computing at the University of Connecticut (UConn). He received his Ph.D. degree from Northeastern University, Boston, in 2019, supervised by Prof. Yanzhi Wang. His research interests mainly include efficient embedded and high-performance systems for machine learning, machine learning for hardware design, and efficient privacy-preserving machine learning. His work has been published in high-impact venues (e.g., DAC, ICCAD, ASPLOS, ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, SC, FPGA, Oakland, NeurIPS, ICCV, IJCAI, AAAI, ACL, EMNLP). He is a recipient of the 2024 NSF CAREER Award, Amazon Research Award, and CISCO Research Award. He received the best paper nomination at 2018 DATE and 2021 DATE, the best paper award at the DL-Hardware Co-Design for AI Acceleration (DCAA) workshop at 2023 AAAI, outstanding student paper award at 2023 HPEC, publicity paper at 2022 DAC, and the 2021 Excellence in Teaching Award from UConn Provost. His team won first place in accuracy and fourth place overall at the 2022 TinyML Design Contest at ICCAD. He was ranked among Stanford’s World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2023. His research has been mainly funded by NSF, DOE, DOT, USDA, SRC, and multiple industrial sponsors.

A campuswide event on April 30 will celebrate the winners.

Faculty Awards

Jun Wang , James E. Ashton Professor and interim departmental executive officer in the College of Engineering’s

Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, is the 2024 Scholar of the Year . The award celebrates nationally recognized recent achievement in outstanding research, scholarship, and/or creative activities.

Wang’s research centers on the development of novel remote sensing techniques to characterize aerosols and fires from space. He serves as the University of Iowa’s lead investigator on NASA’s TEMPO, Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring Pollution, which Time magazine named one of its best inventions of 2023.

“Professor Wang's scholarly endeavors over the past two years stand out as a paradigm of excellence, serving as an exemplary model for both emerging and seasoned faculty members to aspire toward,” said Karim Abdel-Malek, professor of biomedical engineering and director of the Iowa Technology Institute.

James Byrne , assistant professor of radiation oncology in the Carver College of Medicine ( CCOM ), is the 2024 Early Career Scholar of the Year . The award honors assistant professors who are currently involved in research, scholarship, and/or creative activity and show promise of making a significant contribution to their field.

As a physician scientist, Byrne continues to care for patients while developing novel biomedical therapies for cancer, finding inspiration in everything from latte foam to tardigrades. In his first two years as faculty at the UI, he has earned more that $2.5M in external research funding, including a K08 award from the NIH.

“Dr. Byrne’s scientific creativity stems from both an active and curious mind as well as his ability to bridge diverse fields from engineering to biology to medicine,” said Michael Henry, professor and interim director of the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. “These interdisciplinary boundaries are where some of the most interesting and important work is happening today.”

Donna Santillan , research professor and director of the Division of Reproductive Science Research in the CCOM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, received the Leadership in Research Award , which recognizes research and scholarly accomplishments throughout a career.

While Santillan’s research has spanned across the field of reproductive science, she has a particular interest in the deadly diseases of pregnancy, including preeclampsia and its intergenerational effects. She designed and directs the Women’s Health Tissue Repository. Santillan’s work has been cited more than 2,700 times, and she has mentored 114 early career scientists and students, a testament to her expansive impact.

“Dr. Santillan has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fostering the professional and personal development of trainees in research, including myself,” said Banu Gumusoglu, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology. “Her mentorship extends beyond the confines of traditional academic settings, touching the lives of many aspiring trainees from high school through residency, clinical fellowship, and faculty levels.”

Stephen Warren , professor of history and American studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), received the Distinguished Achievement in Publicly Engaged Research Award . The award recognizes an individual faculty member who has put addressing public needs and direct engagement with the public, in the service of improving quality of life through research, at the forefront of his or her academic activities.

A prolific scholar of Native American culture, Warren’s research has centered on the Shawnee people of Oklahoma for the past two decades. He has published four books and co-authored the most recent one , Replanting Cultures: Community-Engaged Scholarship in Indian Country, with Chief Benjamin Barnes of the Shawnee Tribe.

“Over the last two decades, Professor Warren has established himself as a leading community-engaged scholar, and his achievements in research and publishing demonstrate that community engagement and strong scholarship are not mutually exclusive,” said Nick Benson, director of the Office of Community Engagement. “Professor Warren’s work serves as an inspiration for researchers at Iowa and nationally who seek not only to make a difference in academia, but also in our communities.”

Kaveh Akbar , associate professor of English in CLAS, received the Distinguished Achievement in Arts and Humanities Research Award . This award honors distinguished achievement in humanities scholarship and work in the creative, visual and performing arts.

Akbar joined Iowa in 2022 to serve as the director of the English and creative writing major. In January, his new novel, Martyr!, was published to critical acclaim. Akbar previously published two prize-winning poetry collections and has served as poetry editor for The Nation since 2021.

“Akbar’s leadership in the profession and on campus continues: his transformative work in our department not only enriches the academic experiences of 700+ English and creative writing majors, but also enhances the profile of UI as ‘The Writing University,’” said Blaine Greteman, professor and departmental executive officer of the Department of English.

Cara Hamann , associate professor of epidemiology, received the Faculty Communicating ideas Award . This award recognizes excellence in communication about research and scholarship in the sciences and humanities and the study of creative, visual, and performing arts to a general audience directly or via print and electronic media.

Hamann has frequently shared her work on transportation issues, including teen driving, bike and scooter safety, and pedestrian safety, through peer-reviewed journals and extensive media outreach. Her recent op-ed, “The most deadly traffic policy you’ve never heard of leaves you vulnerable, too,” drew widespread attention to a legal loophole in crosswalk laws and appeared in more than 50 news outlets nationwide, including USA Today .

“Dr. Hamann’s work is not only academically rigorous but also accessible and impactful to a

wide audience,” said Diane Rohlman, associate dean for research in the College of Public Health. “Her ability to communicate with clarity, creativity, and passion coupled with her extensive media outreach, exemplifies how she utilizes multiple approaches to address transportation challenges impacting society.”

Bob McMurray , F. Wendell Miller Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, and Caroline Clay , assistant professor of acting in the Department of Theatre Arts, were recipients of the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Distinguished Mentor Awards . The awards honors mentors’ dedication to making their students research experiences successful.

“I can’t imagine my research journey without Bob’s welcoming kindness, thriving lab community, and confident mentorship, and I am so deeply grateful for his impact on me,” said Hannah Franke, a psychology and linguistics major mentored by McMurray.

“I know I am far from the only student whose life has been impacted by Caroline Clay,” said Isabella Hohenadel, a second-year theatre arts major. “She deserves to be recognized of all of the wonderful work she does and how much she cares about us as students. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of recognition than her.”

Staff Awards

Angie Robertson , department administrator for CCOM’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology, received the Distinguished Research Administrator Award . The award recognizes staff members who performed exceptional service in support of research at the UI by exploring funding opportunities, assisting in grant proposal preparation, submission, post-award administration, and operational support.

In addition to overseeing every aspect of daily operations for the department, Robertson manages nearly 100 research grants for the department and three longstanding NIH T32 training grants.

“Angie plays a leading role in our department office, inspiring us to achieve all aspects of our missions ,” said Li Wu, professor and department chair. “She is innovative, collaborative, accountable, and respectful in her daily work. She exceeds any expectations and sets a great example for staff members in the department.”
