Independently curated · UnclaimedAnish Arora Research Group
Ohio State University (Main campus)Anish Arora · Distinguished Professor of Engineering
How can distributed systems be designed to remain correct and timely despite faults and adversarial behavior? The research group develops design, verification, and implementation methods for fault-tolerance, security, and timeliness in distributed systems using formal specifications and "white box" system knowledge. Methods draw from the theory of self-stabilization to create scalable dependability techniques and to distinguish correctness from dependability reasoning. Demonstrations focus on embedded sensor network applications and internet services where prototypes validate dependability properties. The group also co-directs a Smart & Connected Communities and Distributed Sensing community of practice to translate methods to practice.
Claudia Turro Research Group
Ohio State University (Main campus)Claudia Turro · Dr. Melvin L. Morris Professor
Can light-activated metal complexes be controlled to selectively release therapeutics or drive solar-fuel reactions under visible or near-IR illumination? The Turro group investigates excited-state control and dynamics of mono- and dinuclear transition metal complexes using photophysical measurements and photochemical assays to study energy transfer, charge separation, recombination, and ligand dissociation. Projects include designing complexes that are nontoxic in the dark but cytotoxic upon irradiation for photochemotherapy and photo-induced ligand dissociation to enable targeted drug delivery. The group also develops complexes that both harvest broad-spectrum sunlight and act as photosensitizers or catalysts for hydrogen generation under red and near-IR light.
Marcelo Dapino Research Group
Ohio State University (Main campus)Marcelo Dapino · Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
How can smart materials and structures be designed and integrated to improve vehicle systems and add manufacturing capabilities? The Smart Materials and Structures Lab conducts experimental and theoretical studies in smart materials, system dynamics, ultrasonic additive manufacturing, and hybrid smart structure applications to develop component- and system-level solutions. Projects focus on integrating smart materials into transportation applications through NSF IUCRC Smart Vehicle Concepts Center collaborations and on ultrasonic additive manufacturing process development. The lab combines experiments, theory, and translational center activities to train PhD-level researchers and advance smart-structure incorporation in vehicles.
Michael Bevis Research Group
Ohio State University (Main campus)Michael Bevis · Professor, Ohio Eminent Scholar
How can space geodesy be used to quantify Earth system dynamics such as crustal motion, sea-level change, and water vapor variations? The Geodesy & Geodynamics (G2) group uses GPS, terrestrial gravity, and geodetic networks to study crustal motion geodesy, GPS meteorology, and realization of geometric reference frames. Projects include building geodetic networks in the South Pacific, Andes, Greenland, and Antarctica to measure tectonics, postglacial rebound, and loading phenomena. The group applies geodetic observations to earthquake deformation cycles, mountain building, and climate-related sea-level and water vapor studies.
Susan Cole Research Group
Ohio State University (Main campus)Susan Cole · Professor and Chair
How does post-transcriptional regulation of Notch pathway components control timing and patterning during vertebrate embryonic development? The research group uses genetics, molecular biology, mouse models, and embryology to study Notch signaling dynamics and post-transcriptional control of oscillatory genes such as Hes1, Hes7, and Lunatic fringe. Ongoing projects examine how Lunatic fringe and Deltalike-3 cooperate to regulate the segmentation clock that times somite formation and how small changes in expression or turnover perturb somitogenesis and skeletal patterning. The group also studies Notch pathway effects in cardiac development and disease using collaborations and genetic analyses.
