Weber, Z. (ECE) – Sustainable Bioinspired Polymer–Mineral Composites for Adaptable Repair in Conservation Applications
Every year, tens of thousands of tons of plaster-based materials are used in restoration and conservation applications, many of which are derived from non-renewable sources and discarded at the end of their service life. Here, we introduce a biodegradable, bio-derived composite based on chitosan and calcium carbonate that is composed of simple, widely available constituents…

June Slugs and Steins with Distinguished Professor Andrew Fisher
Opportunities to enhance groundwater recharge with net metering and levee setbacks As climate change, population growth, and changing land use put increasing pressure on groundwater supplies, communities are searching for smarter and more sustainable ways to manage water. One promising approach is “managed recharge” — guiding stormwater and excess surface water back into underground aquifers…

Harsh, B. (CSE) – SUPERSCALAR, MULTIPLE TAKEN BRANCH PREDICTOR
This work addresses improvements in branch prediction mechanism to support high perfor- mance processors. The state of the art aims to balance the prediction latency and prediction accuracy using multi level correcting predictors [27]. Prior published work focusses on scalar designs and prediction accuracy improvement for hard to predict branches employing tailor made, non generic…

Tu, H. (CSE) – From Evaluation to Adaptation: Building Reliable Multimodal Intelligence
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are rapidly becoming general-purpose AI systems, yet their capabilities are advancing faster than our ability to evaluate, improve, and validate their reliability in realistic use. Standard benchmarks mainly measure in-distribution final-answer accuracy, leaving critical gaps in safety, robustness, fine-grained reasoning evaluation, and reliability in real-world agentic settings. My research proposes…

Zheng, Y. (CSE) – Extending eBPF Beyond Kernel Extensions: Verified Interfaces for Runtime System Extensibility
Modern system software increasingly needs runtime extensibility: userspace applications need safe ways to expose domain-specific extension points, GPU resource management needs workload-specific memory and scheduling policies, and kernel eBPF JIT compilers need different runtime optimizations as workloads and hardware vary. However, built-in policies are safe but difficult to specialize across rapidly changing workloads and hardware…

Chou, Y. (CM) – Exploring Future AI-Mediated Health Creator–Audience Interactions on Social Media: Transparency, Care, and Accountability
Health and wellness content creators play an important role in shaping how people receive and engage with health information on social media. Beyond delivering information, they also convey care, build trust, and sustain relationships with audiences. As generative AI (GenAI) becomes increasingly integrated into creator work, existing research has examined AI disclosure, AI-mediated communication, and…
