Derek Haas

Mechanical Engineering

Derek Haas' research interests focus on radiation detection for nuclear arms control, non-proliferation, and advanced reactor design and licensing. This includes the fundamental physics of radioactive decay processes, fission yields, environmental transport of radionuclides, and detection techniques.

John Lassiter

Earth and Planetary Sciences

John Lassiter's research focuses on the application of isotope and trace element geochemistry to questions involving the evolution of the mantle and crust, origin of mantle plumes, generation and segregation of magma, evolution of the lithosphere, fluxes in tectonic environments, generation of mantle chemical heterogeneity, distribution of water and other elements in the Earth's interior, and evolution of the Earth's core and core/mantle boundary

Cristine Legare

Psychology

Cristine Legare's research examines the interplay of the universal human mind and the variations of culture to study cognitive and cultural evolution. Her research takes on an interdisciplinary approach drawing from from cognitive, cultural, developmental, educational, and evolutionary psychology as well as cognitive and evolutionary anthropology and philosophy.

Vijay Mahajan

Marketing

Vijay Mahajan's areas of expertise include marketing strategy, product diffusion, research methodology and the Global South.

Matthew Malkowski

Earth and Planetary Sciences

Matthew Malkowski's research focuses on using sediment and the sedimentary record to study how mountain belts and ocean basins evolve in responses to external forces, such as climate, tectonics, sea level changes, and human impacts.

Jennifer Miller

Geography and the Environment

Jennifer Miller's general research interests lie at the confluence of GIScience, spatial analysis, and biogeography, specifically in the application area of species distribution modeling and movement pattern analysis. Previous research has used GIScience to address issues as broad as location privacy, voting patterns, animal movement & interaction, biodiversity, climate change, invasive species, human health, and epizootic disease spread.
