Machaty Zoltan
Biography
The overall objective of Dr. Machaty’s research program is to improve reproductive efficiency in domestic animals by understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate early embryonic development. The primary focus of his research is to define the signal transduction mechanism and identify key signaling molecules that are involved in oocyte activation. Under normal conditions the fertilizing sperm activates the oocyte and stimulates its developmental program. Reproducing the events associated with sperm-induced oocyte activation is critical in a number of assisted reproductive technologies including nuclear transfer. Nuclear transfer is a technique available for the production of farm animals with targeted modification of the genome; these transgenic animals offer great benefits in both agriculture and biomedicine. However, the productivity of nuclear transfer is extremely low, only a fraction of the embryos produced is able to develop to term. Dr. Machaty’s efforts are directed towards identifying conditions and developing methods that would allow more adequate embryo development.

On June 24, 1824, Britain issued The Slave Trade Act of 1824 which was the consolidation of all the laws regarding the 1807 abolition of the slave trade with a few amendments. Among these laws was Article 23, a law that offered freedom to non-British fugitive slaves who found their way to British territories. The freedom clause in the Act of 1824 influenced the inter-imperial migratory patterns of French fugitive slaves in Martinique and Guadeloupe whose movement to the British colonies of Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Vincent magnified the consequences that British emancipation had in neighboring French colonies. In the Windward Islands, French fugitive slaves took advantage of loopholes in British laws and created a series of crises that set up France’s abolition of slavery in 1848. This project highlights enslaved people’s mobility across jurisdictions to examine how their geopolitical knowledge adds to our understanding of the history of democracy and processes of freedom in the Americas.

Project Summary
In my research, I argue that the appearance of a set of seemingly minor racial premises in Third Republic France generated an altogether novel articulation of society— as an organization of its hygienic, racial, and eugenic conditions of possibility. Unlike earlier theorizations of race, these fantasies implicated thinkers in a set of international Darwinian debates over social hygiene, the city, and a social body at constant risk of degeneration. I argue the hygiene became ever more central and more racially oriented as the urban population grew through the 1880s. If French political thinkers were ambivalent or even critical of Darwinism, at the applied level civil servants forged ahead. There was Darwinism as it existed in debates at the Academy of Medicine, and there was Darwinism as it was implemented and understood by its readers. This is what I trace, in the work of engineers tasked with filtering Paris’ sewage water as well as in popular novels of the period. Elements of this lived Darwinism then seem to filter upwards into political thought albeit washed of their context. By looking at this plurality of once-possible universalism(s), I want to consider more broadly how France's social body came to not see itself as racialized— with all the implications that might hold for contemporary France.

Project Summary
What is “color”? More than just a pigment, color is a chemical property, an optical phenomenon, and a social construct. Most fascinatingly, it is a byproduct of colonial and imperial expansion and trade. My Fulbright project in Paris under the mentorship of Professor Charlotte Guichard at the École normale supérieure will examine the politics of the colorant trade in post-Revolutionary and Imperial France. From 1780 to 1856, the quest for steadfast and saturated hues motivated the establishment of new trade routes, diplomatic missions, and the justification for imperial and colonial rule. In this context, I intend to chart how color came to be associated with exoticism and foreignness, particularly as French citizens sought to continuously redefine themselves amid political and national instability. I will visit archives to analyze texts, colorant chemical recipes, and color nomenclature while also scrutinizing art in diverse museum conditions of light and space. Ultimately, my research in Paris will contribute to the larger theoretical foundation of my Ph.D. dissertation in which I trace the impact of “Eastern” color technologies and textiles on French aesthetics, pedagogy, and industrial innovations. I will use the archival material compiled during the 9-month fellowship to historicize and critique the art historical conception of "chromophobia," a term popularized by the artist David Batchelor to denote a history of European ambivalence toward bright hues. In my dissertation, I aim to challenge his claims by spotlighting how the "exotic" and foreign resonances of color in early nineteenth-century France were embraced within aesthetic, economic, and social domains.

Project Summary
My research focuses on the prophetic visions and influence of a young woman named Alinesitoué Diatta in Senegal during the Second World War. Alinesitoué’s teachings, which centered on a return to traditional Jola agricultural and religious practices in the midst of French colonial imposition, coincided with a series of rebellions in the Casamance region of Senegal. In response to the perceived threat of such rebellious sentiment, the French authorities exiled Alinesitoué and violently suppressed rebelling communities. This project will examine the role of agriculture in Alinesitoué’s teachings, the Casamance rebellions of 1942-43, and the brutal French response to both. These events embodied a moment of cross-cultural contact between French and West Africans and their methods of tending the land. By focusing on the political ramifications of Alinesitoué’s teachings for the larger French colonial mission, my project will investigate the ways in which African and French men and women claimed authority over the land around them.

Project Summary
My Fulbright will investigate how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) relate to binge drinking, brain structure alterations, and mental health problems among French college students. Collaborating with scientists at the University of Bordeaux, I will analyze existing and self-collected data of the Internet-based Students Health Research Enterprise (i-Share) cohort project. Two-thirds of college students in France drink alcohol in risky quantities, leading to increased mental health problems with subsequent long-term health, social, and economic challenges. ACEs, traumatic or stressful events that occur before age 18, lead to brain damages and are associated with increased binge drinking and mental health problems. Despite these correlations, surprisingly limited longitudinal studies have examined long-term influences of ACEs among college students with brain imaging data or qualitative approaches. Understanding the impact of ACEs in the French context may bring a different view of the etiological understanding of ACEs, brain structure alterations, and mental health challenges to inform novel prevention strategies.

Project Summary
Plants sessile nature makes them outstanding systems to study how the genetic information stored in DNA is accessed, expressed, and translated into functioning molecules within the cell under specific conditions. The production and regulation of messenger RNA (mRNA), an intermediate molecule carrying genetic information from DNA, are critical processes during a plants response to its environment. Through this collaborative project we will study how plants regulate a single chemical modification on its mRNA species, specifically looking at the most abundant chemical modification, m6A, to reveal novel regulatory networks and potential targets for agricultural remediation in response to biotic and development cues.

This aim of this project is to create spatially and spectrally controlled quantum emitters and study their quantum optical properties. Spatially-determined quantum dots embedded in photonic structures will be designed and grown at the University of Delaware. Then, in Paris, we will fabricate photonic devices and measure their optical properties using quantum optical measurement techniques. Specifically, we will study the ability of these quantum dots to serve as indistinguishable single photon sources, which is critical for quantum information applications.

Project Summary
I have received a Fulbright award to study with Jean-Baptiste Robin at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Versailles (CRR de Versailles). My hope is to understand the organ’s role in France’s musical culture, and how to include pedagogical ideas of performance and improvisation effectively in the United States.
Jean-Baptiste Robin is an exemplar of the French conservatory tradition. While a student at CNSMDP, Robin received seven premier prix, including harmony, counterpoint, theory, and composition. Having played for him in 2009 on a summer trip to Versailles, I later met Robin at the Haarlem Organ Festival in 2018 before hosting him for a U.S. performance in 2019. I will supplement my studies with Robin by auditing courses in improvisation at the CNSMDP and taking private lessons with organist-improviser-composer Thierry Escaich, whom I first met during a European summer study program. More recently, I presented him with an improvisation and an original composition during a January 2020 masterclass in the U.S.
As an American, studying organ in France is critical to gain a complete understanding of this music’s origins. For example, Robin was inspired to write his Trois Solos pour orgue directly from his experiences as organiste titulaire of the organ of Versailles’ Chapelle Royale. The opportunity to study extensively in France will allow me to gain perspective on the ways in which American instruments can influence composers and improvisers in the United States, as well as further inform my practices of performing French repertoire.
In the future, I plan to apply for a doctoral program in organ studies, with an emphasis in music theory and composition. My aim is to elevate the organ into a more prominent pedagogical role in general music curricula, and to encourage my future organ students to improvise, compose, and collaborate often. My experiences in Versailles would be a cornerstone in building this new curriculum and contributing to American musical pedagogy. Studying with the region’s foremost performers, improvisers, and composers will allow me to contribute back to the American musical education system in a meaningful way.

Project Summary
The left and right sides of the heart are formed in a process called heart looping. Errors in this process can lead to a wide range of birth defects, which are thought to be underdiagnosed. My project with the Meilhac group at Paris’s Instituts Pasteur and Imagine will use advanced imaging, quantitative analyses and sequencing techniques to reconstruct the process of heart looping in mouse models. By analyzing gene expression data for molecules that could influence heart looping, we aim to propose a detailed mechanism for heart looping. Congenital heart defects occur in eight per 1000 live births, and they continue to affect an estimated 200,000 children and 250,000 adults in France. By advancing the efforts of the Meilhac group to understand how looping defects arise during embryonic development, we anticipate that our findings will improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients across France. They may also shed light on how asymmetry instructs the formation of organs more broadly.

Project Summary
I propose to study the degree to which immigrants are assimilated into French society by measuring generational differences in political participation. I will assess if first-generation and second-generation immigrants turn out to vote at different rates, how much political news they consume, and the effects of local civic engagement practices. I will conduct my study in the 13th arrondissement and Aubersvillier of Paris, where Asian immigrants are concentrated. This research is valuable due to the sparse nature of existing data on Asian populations in France. It is especially important now, with the recent rise of discrimination against Asians following the COVID-19 pandemic and increasingly xenophobic politics of extreme right wing parties. This cultural exchange will shed light on stories that have been overlooked by mainstream sociological literature.

Project Summary
At the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et l’Environnement (LSCE), I will examine the chemical processes, dissolution and precipitation, of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) within the sediments of the Rhône River delta. In order to study these processes, I will conduct field experiments with Bruno Lansard and his team using in situ measurements, including calcium carbonate concentrations along with other factors that contribute to alkalinity and ocean acidification. As the largest carbon sink, the ocean plays a significant role in the climate crisis. Increased levels of carbon dioxide cause the hydrogen atom concentration to increase and the pH of ocean waters to reduce, which negatively affects corals, plankton, and shellfish that use calcium and carbonate ions to form their shells. Ocean acidification in the Mediterranean is already high, demanding immediate attention, research, and solutions. My research with Lansard will not only offer me new perspectives and knowledge on oceanography, but would also be a significant contribution to climate science.

Project Summary
The study of ultracold gases has been essential to the development of modern atomic physics and our current understanding of quantum mechanics, the physics that governs particles, atoms, molecules and their interactions. Quantum gases can be used to understand exotic phenomena like superconductivity. For my project, I will search for quantum states known as "Andreev bound states" (ABS) in an ultracold gas of lithium to try to understand what role they might play in superconductivity. Dr. Tarik Yefsah, principal investigator of the Lithium III group at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, will supervise my research. I will use and modify the apparatus in the Lithium III lab to search for ABS. My research will be supplemented by year one courses in the International Centre for Fundamental Physics master's program at Ecole Normale Supérieure.

The purpose of my Fulbright U.S. Student Study/Research grant to France is to create an inventory of Baron Edmond de Rothschild’s (1845-1934) fine and decorative art collection that was once housed in his home, Hôtel Rothschild - now the U.S. Ambassador's Residence in Paris, France. I will conduct research in several Parisian archives and libraries to gather an image of the Baron's collection, and later his son's collection, up until the onset of World War II. After identifying the décor of the Rothschild period at Hôtel Rothschild, I will trace where the highly significant, historical items ended up after World War II, which includes some of the most prominent museums in the world. I hope that after compiling and analyzing my research, my work will shed light on important histories that will prove thought-provoking for the art historical field internationally.

The M.S.Ed. in Consulting, Project Engineering and Social and Territorial Action will expose me to cross-cultural perspectives about the relationship between society and school, allow me to build upon my independent research, and introduce me to career paths in education. Furthermore, it will provide me with the skills needed to research in new communities, improve socio-educational organizations, and bring the spirit of collective action to my work in America. I will complement my undergraduate studies of educational inequity with social science courses about the French educational system. I will improve my intercultural communication and leadership skills during an 8-week internship working for a socio-educational organization in Île de France. Studying education from another cultural perspective will make me a stronger critical thinker, researcher, student, and teacher. My time at CY Cergy Paris University will prepare me to hold leadership positions in American socio-educational organizations and eventually found an arts-based non-profit in my hometown of Philadelphia.

Project Summary
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) can only be diagnosed by microscopic pathology, which occurs postmortem, limiting our ability to understand and manage AD clinically. My mentor at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Michael Miller, has identified potential biomarkers for AD through non-invasive MRI measures. These biomarkers could be the key to earlier diagnosis, however, they must be adequately linked to AD’s signature patterns of tau and amyloid pathology. Current tools are not equipped to compare data of such diversity (i.e. different type, scale, and dimension). I have developed a platform to localize macroscopic MRI data and microscopic pathology data in the same space, as the first step towards having such a tool. Yet, there remains a need for a mathematical framework robust enough to compare and quantify the spatial distributions of this diverse data, to enable accurate correlation. Dr. Alain Trouvé and his group at ENS Paris-Saclay, with Dr. Miller, have demonstrated the potential of “varifolds” for this framework. Varifolds model both data values and weights to handle differences in scales and sampling frequency. Early results seem promising, but have largely analyzed only simulated data, and further refinement is needed to link actual pathology with MRI data. With a Fulbright ENS Paris-Saclay research grant, I aim to work with Dr. Trouvé to identify and achieve the extensions our varifold framework needs to successfully analyze the real-world data we hope to model. In this way, we can translate varifold theory into a practical tool that can link MRI biomarkers, and potentially others, to pathology data, paving the way for effectively diagnosing and ultimately treating AD.

Project Summary
This program, offered in partnership with Université de Rennes 1, will provide me with the hydrological, chemical, and biological background necessary to understand how chemicals are transported through surface and ground water and how pollution and water quality impact different ecosystem components. With access to resources from both universities, I will be able to study water pollution from a variety of scientific, technical, and economic perspectives. My coursework will include topics such as geochemistry, hydrological transport, and soil science, culminating in a final research project or internship. The United States and France share many of the same water quality challenges, from emerging contaminants like PFAS to agricultural pollutants that cause toxic algal blooms, and I hope to identify relevant strategies to tackle these problems back home while forming professional relationships to foster international research collaboration. After completing the program, I plan on pursuing a government career in environmental protection with a focus on water quality and remediation, so that I can set and enforce water quality standards protective of human and ecosystem health.

Project Summary
This new suite of pieces will be framed around an exploration of materiality: particularly, the use of glass in Parisian architecture, with four movements inspired in turn by the Grand Palais (1897), The Richelieu building at the Bibliothèque National de France (1870’s), the Fondation Cartier (1994), and the Fondation Louis Vuitton (2006). The piece is planned for medium ensemble (rhythm section and mixed wind and brass), rooted in the jazz tradition but with a strong dose of classical influence. This project, along with being a composition, is an experiment in the methodology of translating ideas between the fields of architecture and music, and will also consist of an accompanying paper and process log that document the ways that ideas flow between music and design, hopefully calling architects and musicians into more thorough creative dialogue.

I will make a series of tapestries that pay homage to the revolutionary queer artists and writers working in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. The research I conduct to produce these works will be twofold: I will study period archives of French queer artists and writers, and will also conduct research into tapestry art produced during the time. Though the two art forms were disparate during the 1920s and 1930s, they are united in my work, which forefronts these less visible forms of authorship. I will draw out text, techniques, and ideas from archival and primary source material research to create my tapestries, through which I aim to highlight these remarkable histories and redefine them for the contemporary era.

Project Summary
My dissertation investigates how the opiate trade produced informal circuits of profit and power that transformed the borders and political systems of the Eastern Mediterranean between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It argues that opiate trafficking constituted a ubiquitous form of everyday resistance by which ordinary people challenged the prevailing political and economic structures that encroached on their lives and livelihoods. In particular, it demonstrates that smuggling served as a mode of grassroots resistance to state power in a diverse array of contexts spanning the modernizing schemes of the late Ottoman Empire, the extractive programs of European colonial authorities, and the nascent nation-building projects of regional elites. Such furtive illicit activity helped average people fend off the growing reach of centralizing states, preserve local autonomy, and define their status as citizens within emerging political systems on their own terms. State and popular politics have largely overshadowed this scarcely studied form of quotidian resistance in traditional scholarship. However, I contend that illicit trafficking remade the institutional, socio-economic, and political geography of the Eastern Mediterranean from the ground up by empowering ordinary people to resist increasingly totalizing forms of state control.

Project Summary
My dissertation examines how a diverse array of Cameroonians —whom I theorize as “citizen diplomats”—helped mediate Chinese knowledge production on Africa and contributed to Maoist theories of imperialism during the Cold War. My research corrects uncritical depictions of the Africa-PRC relationship as perpetually dominated by the PRC, by foregrounding the experiences of these citizen diplomats and exploring how they wielded “friendship” as a diplomatic category with both strategic and affective power. Drawing on archival and oral history sources from Cameroon, France, Taiwan, the PRC, and the US, I employ a transregional methodology in order to locate the processes that facilitated African contributions to global ideas.
