Cornelia Peterson, DVM, PhD, DACVP (Anatomic Pathology) is an assistant professor at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. Her research efforts seek to elucidate mechanisms of diseases of the eye and visual system with comparative ocular pathology approaches.
Dr. Peterson received her BS (Zoology, 2010), DVM (2014), and PhD (Vision Science, 2019) from The Ohio State University and completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery (2014-2015) at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital. She considers herself to be a corneal biologist a heart, having spent two years during vet school, her intern year research time, and all of graduate school evaluating various signaling pathways involved in corneal wound healing. While pursuing her initial year of anatomic pathology training at Johns Hopkins University, she also evaluated the role of the integrated stress response (ISR) in the pathophysiology of keratoconus and aimed to establish a rat model of disease using an ISR-agonist.
As a member of the Brain and Eye Tumor Research Group during her postdoctoral fellowship at the Wilmer Eye Institute, her ocular oncology interests broadened to include characterizing the molecular features of both human and canine Meibomian gland (sebaceous gland) carcinomas. Further work in ocular pathology has aimed to evaluate human papillomavirus in squamous conjunctival lesions and characterize the retinal histologic changes in a rabbit model of proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Additional comparative and translational projects that Dr. Peterson has recently contributed to include: 1) characterization of the role of primary cilia and Sonic hedgehog signaling pathways in the development of the murine Meibomian gland, 2) histologic evaluation of a feline model of penetrating keratoplasty with keratoprosthesis, 3) immunohistochemical evaluation of LDHA expression in age-related macular degeneration, 4) scoring of radiation-induced ocular pathology in mice, 5) assessment of retinal pathology in Alzheimer’s patients, and 6) elucidation of the mechanosensory nervous system in the murine cornea.
Now at Tufts, she plans to develop an independent research program focused on the role of the protooncogene, MYC, in Meibomian gland pathology, primarily utilizing transduced human cell lines and transgenic mouse models.

Woodstock teaches applied mathematics courses, with an emphasis on how class material is used in everyday life. He specializes in optimization, and how it arises within machine learning tasks. 
His research focuses on two areas, developing new algorithms to solve modern challenges in data science and mathematically proving that these new algorithms are guaranteed to do their job. His work has been used for image reconstruction, audio de-noising and change detection from bitemporal satellite imagery.
 
 A goal of providing these mathematical guarantees is to contribute theoretically-sound alternatives to the theoretically unfounded ad-hoc techniques (e.g., neural network training with ReLU activation and algorithmic differentiation) that are rapidly being adopted in critical infrastructure. 
Woodstock earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at JMU, a master's degree in applied mathematics at North Carolina State University and a doctorate in mathematics at North Carolina State University. Before joining JMU as faculty, he was a postdoctoral staff scientist at the Interactive Optimization and Learning Laboratory based in Technische Universität Berlin and the Zuse Institute Berlin.

's research aims to resolve the complex dynamics of nitrogen cycling in hydrologic systems. His group uses a variety of field, laboratory, and modeling techniques to understand how hydrological and biogeochemical processes interact to control the transport and transformation of reactive nitrogen and how human activities influence these interactions.

Michael Halassa is a physician-scientist and associate professor of neuroscience and psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine. His work focuses on understanding how the brain controls thoughts and actions based on an internal model of the world. His PhD work at the University of Pennsylvania was focused on cellular neuroscience and his postdoctoral work at MIT was focused on systems neuroscience. Halassa also spends some of his time performing clinical work, focused on treatment of psychotic disorders. His ultimate goal is to come up with a circuit-based computational description of inference and belief updating that would explain how psychotic states arise and provide a clear path towards intervention.
