Christopher Stubbs joined Harvard in 2003 as a Professor of Physics and of Astronomy. His research interests lie at the intersection of cosmology, particle physics, and gravitation. Stubbs received an International Baccalaureate diploma from the Tehran...
Cynthia M. Friend, Ph.D, is the president of The Kavli Foundation. Prior to joining the foundation in January 2021, Dr. Friend was a member of the Harvard University faculty since 1982. At Harvard she served in numerous leadership positions, including...
At the Rowland, the Reece Lab studied transient pressure pulses and kinetic modeling in order to understand the fundamental concepts that drive catalytic reactions on surfaces. The goal of their lab was to break down chemical transformations into their...
The Raayai laboratory studied the response of fluid flow to complex geometric boundaries such as textured surfaces and arrays of objects. Inspired by natural cases like ribs on shark scales and flight formation in pelicans, at the Rowland, they aimed to...
At the Rowland, the focus of the Brucker Lab was on interactions of environmental toxins metabolized by the gut microbiome. They utilized natural product chemistry, ecotoxicology, population genetics, evolution, and experimental microbiota to test...
At the Rowland, the Wang Lab focused on designing novel nanomaterials for renewable energy and environmental applications including catalysis, rechargeable batteries, as well as CO2 treatment. They combined catalysis and battery studies to open up...
At the Rowland, the RoLi Lab (Jennifer Li and Drew Robson) developed novel imaging systems and computational frameworks to flexibly address neurons throughout an entire vertebrate brain. Using techniques such as multi-photon microscopy, selective plane...
The ability to adjust one’s actions based on past experience (learning) and retain the value of past actions (memory) is one of the most complex, fascinating, and mysterious processes mediated by the animal brain. Fundamental questions remain about the...
