| Dr. Ayoub is an evolutionary biologist with a special interest in spiders. She is currently working on the molecular evolution of spider silks, which have spectacularly diverse properties and functions both within and among species. Recent projects have focused on characterizing silk genes in the black widow spider. |
Dr. Stough's research will focus on improving the segmentation of medical images. This work involves geometry, statistics, biology, physics, pattern recognition, signal processing, and graphics. |
Dr. Erickson's research will focus on investigating plasticity and information processing in cultured neural networks, and he will work with faculty and students not only in engineering but also in the biology department and the neuroscience program. |
