Jennifer Lu
Research Interests
Professor Lu’s research is focused on the synthesis of novel functional nanomaterials, particularly employing self-assembled macromolecules as templates to control and scale these nanostructures and explore their applications in biosensing and renewable energy. One of her current topics is to create catalytically active nanoparticles with controlled size and composition at spatially defined locations to promote rational synthesis of carbon nanotubes and semiconducting nanowires.

Research Interest
Optical Spectroscopy and Imaging, Biophotonic Technology Development:
The mission of our research laboratory is to promote better diagnostic, treatment and prevention of human diseases through advancements in biophotonic technology – a field at the interface of physical sciences, engineering, biology and medicine. This is accomplished through a series of interdisciplinary research projects that enable early diagnosis and intraoperative demarcation of tumors, prevention of stroke and heart attack, and cancer therapy.

Dominic Massaro
My goal in teaching is to instill in students a sense of wonder about mind and behavior and how questions can be tackled using critical thinking and scientific principles. To impress upon students and peers the fallacies that so easily entrap us, I created a Survey of Psychological Literacy that reveals these entrapments. Several of my courses and my scholarship activities are aimed at not only revealing these entrapments but also providing strategies of critical thinking to overcome them.
Michael Mateas
I run the Expressive Intelligence Studio at UC Santa Cruz, where we explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, art and design. Our goal is to create compelling new forms of interactive art and entertainment that provide more deeply autonomous, generative and dynamic responses to interaction. A major thrust of this work is advanced AI for videogames, including autonomous characters and interactive storytelling.
