Collaborative Research: Using Uncertainty Quantification and Validated Computational Models to Analyze Pumping Performance of Valveless, Tubular Hearts (open access)

Collaborative Research: Using Uncertainty Quantification and Validated Computational Models to Analyze Pumping Performance of Valveless, Tubular Hearts

Data management plan for the research grant, "Collaborative Research: Using Uncertainty Quantification and Validated Computational Models to Analyze Pumping Performance of Valveless, Tubular Hearts." This project will develop a computational model of the essential features of the circulatory system: the electrical activity of the heart, muscle contractions of the tube walls, and the fluid-structure interactions of the heart walls and blood within. This computational framework aims to be faithful to that of a real, model animal (tunicate, or sea squirt). The model will then be analyzed with mathematical tools to determine the physical limits of the pumping system. Results of this project will improve the understanding of human heart development at the earliest stages. Also, it will point to how the large, multi-chambered hearts of vertebrates could have evolved from smaller structures.

Using uncertainty quantification and machine learning techniques to study the evolution of odor capture (open access)

Using uncertainty quantification and machine learning techniques to study the evolution of odor capture

Data management plan for the research grant, "Using uncertainty quantification and machine learning techniques to study the evolution of odor capture." This research proposes the application of uncertainty quantification (UQ) and machine learning (ML) to a CFD model of odor capture to understand the role of hair-array morphology, kinematics, and fluid environment in odor capture. The combination of CFD modeling and UQ&ML techniques can map out the performance space under which these chemosensory hair arrays operate and the relative sensitivity of each parameter of odor capture to construct a global, quantitative understanding of how parameters control odor-capture performance. Furthermore, this analysis can eliminate parameters that have no influence on odor capture, extracting the root principles of odor capture and providing a more efficient way to construct bioinspired devices for chemical detection. This work is of interest to the Army for extracting design principles that can be used for biomimetic and/or bioinspired devices for sensing hazardous chemicals in the environment (e.g. explosives).

Building a Team for EXtragalactic AStrophysics (TEXAS) in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Data management plan for the grant, "Building a Team for EXtragalactic AStrophysics (TEXAS) in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex". The project will build a new partnership between the University of North Texas (UNT), an R1 Minority-Serving Institution (MSI)/ Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), and the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). During the pilot phase, the team will establish a post-baccalaureate bridge program and organize monthly colloquia and annual symposia to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in astronomy.
