The project, “A study on the ultrahigh salt adsorption capacity of an energy-efficiency water desalination technology,” was supported by a 4-VA@�鶹��Ƶ Collaborative Research Grant with the goal of designing next-generation electrode materials to advance the energy-efficient CDI technology.

�鶹��Ƶ graduate student Rebecca Leung is part of a team finding ways to use smart technology in order to help those who are struggling with or recovering from substance use disorder (SUD).

�鶹��Ƶ researchers are taking advantage of DNA molecules’ self-assembly properties to develop vaccines rapidly, publishing their findings in Communications Biology

�鶹��Ƶ graduate student’s cherry blossom monitoring research uses �鶹��Ƶ as a living lab to assess how climate change affects the bloom date of cherry blossom trees on the Fairfax Campus.

The �鶹��Ƶ team behind NeuroMorpho.org has been honored for its work by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and the Office of Data Science Strategy at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

An NSF grant looks at Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) within AI technology and the ways it can function safely and reliably within autonomous systems.

Associate Professor Max Albanese collaborated with Palo Alto Research Center to launch the �鶹��Ƶ Vulnerability Scoring Framework, a tool that publishes continuously updated rankings of the most-common global software weaknesses. The work has resulted in multiple pending patent applications and a Best Paper Award at the 19th International Conference on Security and Cryptography.

Siddhartha Sikdar and several colleagues from CASBBI received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Helping to End Addiction Long-Term (HEAL) initiative to study chronic myofascial pain. The team will first develop biomarkers to study the association between muscle tissue abnormality and pain, and then conduct clinical trials to test two different interventions.

Assistant Professor Vijay Shah from the Department of Cyber Security Engineering at �鶹��Ƶ's College of Engineering and Computing, teamed up with colleagues in Arlington, Virginia, to build drones that monitor and improve the safety of firefighters in action.

�鶹��Ƶ researchers Jeffrey Moran in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Rémi Veneziano in the Department of Bioengineering, and Monique van Hoek, a microbiologist in the School of Systems Biology, won the NBIB R21 Trailblazer award. The team will research methods to dissolve harmful biofilms.
