Daniel Martin and incoming fellow Courtney Shafer are part of a team using modeling to quantify the impact of melting glaciers and land-ice on sea levels.
The incoming class will research subjects ranging from geological science and theoretical neuroscience to ecosystem sciences and computational biophysics at universities across the country.
Norman Yao and colleagues used qutrits, quantum bits that can simultaneously represent three values, perhaps paving the way for processors based on the technology.
Aaron (Miguel) Holgado and colleagues combined gravitational-wave and X-ray astronomy to produce new insights into these extraordinarily dense objects.
The students hail from universities in California, Colorado and Michigan. They’ll conduct research in residence at Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration laboratories.
