Leading with sociology, my interdisciplinary research program is centered on the relationship between social and structural inequality on the one hand, and health and the environment on the other. In the highly stratified United States, social structures carry power through policies, resources, and...

The Noise-Collector The ability to detect sparse signals from noisy, high-dimensional data is a top priority in modern science and engineering. For optimal results, current approaches need to tune parameters that depend on the level of noise, which is often difficult to estimate. We develop a new...

Coherent interferometric Imaging (CINT) in concrete. Waves are been used for the detection and imaging of objects for many years. We all know the radar, which uses electromagnetic waves, the sonar that is based on acoustic waves, and medical ultrasound. In most of these applications the materials...

CONDESA is a National Science Foundation Research Traineeship program at UC Merced, funded under award 2125510. Soil, water, and air are essential resources. Their quality critically impacts society at a local and global scale in multiple ways, from farming productivity and food security to human...

As the state of California leads the nation in the adoption of solar energy and seeks to decarbonize its grid by 2045, a key question is "What role(s) will long-duration storage play and what price will be needed for a technology to compete with the other options?" Answering that question requires...
