Access to synchrotron facilities provides unique opportunities for the scientific and professional development of early-career researchers, especially those from underrepresented regions such as Puerto Rico. This presentation highlights my trajectory as a graduate student whose scientific path has been enriched through long-term involvement with the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source...
Macromolecular X-ray crystallography is a powerful, sensitive technique that allows the identification of ligand-protein complexes, but it depends on crystals of high resolution and high tolerance to inorganic solvents. In this study, we investigated possible alternatives to the sole treatment of schistosomiasis, Praziquantel, by identifying small molecules that can interact with Schistosoma...
The most widely diagnosed disease globally is cancer, and it has been increasing in incidence and prevalence. The Global Cancer Observatory revealed that in 2022, the number of new cases stood at 20 million, and is set to increase by 77.5 % by 2050. The pro-cancer Retinoblastoma binding protein 6 (RBBP6) is a multi-domain protein that contains the Really Interesting New Gene (RING) domain,...

Phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL) is the transfer of optically stimulated electrons from deep saturated electron traps to previously emptied shallow electron traps. Conventional thermoluminescence (TL) of CaGa2O4:Pr3+ shows five peaks of which only three are Phototransferred under illumination by blue light (470nm) for TL measured to 500 oC. Pulse annealing analysis shows all PTTL...
Energy concerns are among the main obstacles to maintaining the viability of our planet and modern life, as fossil fuels non-renewable energy resources remain the primary source of global energy consumption. This study presents a theoretical investigation into the spectral performance of a metamaterial structure composed of tungsten (W) and hafnium dioxide (HfO₂) layers, specifically designed...
Studies on point defects in germanium (Ge) are increasing, primarily because these defects have the potential to modify the electronic and optical properties of Ge, thereby enhancing device applications. While significant progress has been made in defect studies, a comprehensive understanding of defect complexes resulting from interactions between type (Al or B) and p-type atoms (D_GeX_i and...
Reliable decoding of cognitive workload from electroencephalography (EEG) signals is essential for adaptive robotics, neuroergonomics, intelligent transportation, and human–machine interaction systems. Despite recent advances in deep learning, EEG-based workload classification remains limited by poor cross-subject and cross-dataset generalization. In this work, we investigate hybrid Riemannian...
