I am a computer scientist, and in particular a theoretician, using mathematics in order to explore the power and limitations of computers, as well as to understand other areas and sciences from a ...

John O’Keefe is a cognitive neuroscientist interested in the role of the hippocampal formation in spatial memory and navigation. He was born in Harlem, New York and grew up in the South Bronx. He ...

Alanna Schepartz is the Milton Harris ’29 Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale University. Schepartz is a chemist recognized for the ...

My research deals with the basis of host defense at immunological and biochemical levels and the implications for therapy. Over four decades I established that lymphocyte products activate macrophages ...

Tom Mrowka is a mathematician recognized for his work analysis and geometry and their applications to low dimensional topology. Known for the resolution of a series of long standing conjectures due to ...

Throughout my research career, I've been engaged with the mechanisms by which ion channel proteins work. These proteins, which form aqueous pores spanning the membranes of all cells, provide ionic ...

Valeria Molinero is a physical chemist by passion and training, recognized for her innovative modeling of water and elucidation of the mechanisms of formation of ice and clathrate hydrates. Molinero ...

My research interests are in immunology, a field where I have been working since 1948. I was trained at Oxford by Peter Medawar, awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of immunological tolerance.

As a demographer, my main area of research is fertility. I have developed mathematical models of reproduction and analytic techniques that permit estimation of fertility determinants (e.g. level of ...

Nergis Mavalvala, Marble Professor of Astrophysics at MIT and a 2010 recipient of a MacArthur “genius” award, is a physicist whose research focuses on the detection of gravitational waves and quantum ...

I seek to understand how atmospheric gases, clouds, and aerosols regulate the planetary greenhouse effect, solar radiative heating, and climate. As a postdoctoral fellow I identified the greenhouse ...

One part of my research deals with how a fluid loses its ability to flow. This can happen, for example, to a supercooled liquid as the temperature is lowered so that it becomes increasingly sluggish ...
