Technology-based interventions have been proposed to address this gap, but existing systems do not fully replicate the guidance and support provided during in-person therapy. This dissertation presents the design of the Zesty Exercise System for Therapeutic Engagement (ZEST-E), a robot-led rehabilitative exercise system designed to guide PWP through repetitive, large-amplitude stretching exercises. Through two user studies involving PWP and exercise specialists, i.e., physical therapists, this work demonstrates the feasibility of robot-led rehabilitative exercise and identifies key facilitators and barriers to deploying such systems beyond the clinic. In addition, this dissertation characterizes how PWP perform exercises with ZEST-E with a focus on adherence to prescribed movement form. These data are used to develop an automated human activity recognition pipeline that classifies exercise form correctness using IMU-derived features. Together, these contributions support the feasibility of robot-led rehabilitative stretching exercise for PWP and provide initial methods for assessing exercise performance in this context.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ERobot-led Rehabilitative Exercise for People with Parkinson\u0027s Disease\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Robot-led Rehabilitative Exercise for People with Parkinson\u0027s Disease"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-08 19:50:50","changed_gmt":"2026-04-08 19:51:21","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-14T15:00:08-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-14T17:00:08-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-14T17:00:08-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-14 19:00:08","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-14 21:00:08","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-14 21:00:08","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"57 Executive Park S, room 108","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689578":{"#nid":"689578","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Duowen Chen","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EPhysics-Based Simulation for World Modeling Across Scales and Modalities\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp; Wednesday, April 15, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime\u003C\/strong\u003E: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Eastern Time (US)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Coda C0908 Home Park\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZoom\u003C\/strong\u003E: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F95930183632\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cae2b5e1144c24fc224b508de9592fdc6%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639112655725188118%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=VFu5ueasP1PZplHVZVUozXwvnT4W8DBErzgnSS4YVbI%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/95930183632\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Bo Zhu (Advisor) \u2013\u0026nbsp;School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Greg Turk \u2013\u0026nbsp;School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Yalong Yang \u2013\u0026nbsp;School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDuowen Chen\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Student\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EPhysical simulation plays a central role in computer graphics and scientific computing, but existing methods often remain fragmented across scales, representations, and sensory outputs. This thesis develops a physics-grounded approach to world modeling that connects accurate simulation, expressive representation, and multimodal generation. On the simulation side, I present completed work on dynamic interface tracking, solid\u2013fluid coupling, and compressible flow simulation, using neural implicit representations and flow-map-based transport to improve geometric fidelity, long-horizon advection accuracy, and the modeling of complex physical interactions. Building on this foundation, I propose two new directions that extend physical simulation into richer multimodal world representations. The first develops a memory-augmented framework for wildfire world modeling, where physically meaningful simulations are translated into realistic digital-twin videos and combined with retrieval and vision-language reasoning to support environment understanding and structured reporting. The second develops a framework for spatial sound generation in 3D worlds, integrating layered scene reconstruction, semantically grounded sound synthesis, source localization, and physics-guided acoustic rendering to generate audio consistent with scene geometry and listener motion. Taken together, this thesis advances a broader view of world modeling in which physical simulation is not only a tool for reproducing dynamics, but also a foundation for building coherent visual, geometric, and auditory representations across scales and modalities.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPhysics-Based Simulation for World Modeling Across Scales and Modalities\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Physics-Based Simulation for World Modeling Across Scales and Modalities"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-08 18:28:39","changed_gmt":"2026-04-08 18:28:39","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-15T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-15T15:00:29-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-15T15:00:29-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-15 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-15 19:00:29","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-15 19:00:29","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Coda C0908 Home Park","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"683587":{"#nid":"683587","#data":{"type":"event","title":"IRIM Spring 2026 Seminar Series | Predicting and Shaping User-device Interactions in Neural Interfaces","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E Neural interface technologies provide new opportunities to assist and augment human behaviors. For instance, muscle activity can be transformed into commands for an assistive device for people with disabilities or provide richer control for a computer than interfaces like mice and keyboards. Connecting signals from the nervous system to an external device in this way presents users with a new, potentially unintuitive, mapping between their movements and those of the device. Users often change their behavior as they learn to control neural interfaces, and many neural interfaces leverage machine learning to let the device adapt to the users. This co-learning creates complex and high-throughput interactions between algorithms and the nervous system. In my talk, I\u2019ll present recent research in my lab demonstrating that the algorithms we use in neural interfaces influence neural computations and user learning. I will then present new computational frameworks we\u2019ve developed to predict and shape user-algorithm interactions. These discoveries open possibilities to build neural interfaces that intelligently interact with the nervous system to assist and rehabilitate motor function across diverse users and applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Orsborn is a Cherng Jia and Elizabeth Yun Hwang Associate Professor in the departments of Electrical \u0026amp; Computer Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of Washington.

However, applying these tools to female-specific physiology or even recapitulating female-specific organs has lagged far behind, as has adapting these tools to the physiologic changes associated with aging. Our work spans biomaterial systems and organ-on-a-chip platforms to recapitulate the biologic complexities of sex, age, and immune status in driving fibrosis. The discussion will provide an overview of current work on microphysiologic devices related to women\u2019s health, efforts replicate the organ microenvironment, and the vision of future directions for microphysiologic systems to enable discovery in diseases that remain understudied and undertreated.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EQin Maggie Qi, Ph.D. (MIT)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Building Advanced In Vitro Models to Study Neuroinflammation in Retinal Diseases\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;A grand challenge in retinal research is the lack of suitable in vitro tools to understand disease mechanisms, manufacture cells and test therapeutic outcomes.

In this work, I will discuss our ongoing work to study immunopathology regulating glaucoma disease progression in collaboration with Dr. Dong Feng Chen at Massachusetts Eye and Ear.

My lab develops microphysiological systems to reconstruct key features of breast and ovarian cancer and to study how physical context, multicellular interactions, and tissue architecture drive disease progression. This talk highlights an on-chip breast tumor model that reveals how tumor heterogeneity influences tumor growth and invasion kinetics, alongside a newly engineered peritoneal cavity platform that models the transcoelomic spread of ovarian cancer. Using live-cell imaging across these systems, we investigate how tumor cells move, interact with surrounding tissues, and disseminate during early metastatic colonization.

It advances this thesis through three research streams: data-centric AI systems across the application domains of public health and personalized medicine, and foundational data science for AI systems. Across these streams, the dissertation introduces new methodologies that integrate prediction, optimization, and action in the presence of delayed reporting, incomplete observations, local data limitations, and distributional instability. Collectively, this work argues that the operationalization of AI is fundamentally a data-centric design problem.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EOperationalization of AI Systems Through Data-Centric Design\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Operationalization of AI Systems Through Data-Centric Design"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-08 15:35:52","changed_gmt":"2026-04-08 15:36:30","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-20T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-20T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-20T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-20 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-20 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-20 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Groseclose 304 ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689568":{"#nid":"689568","#data":{"type":"event","title":"BBISS Insights Series: Sustainable Data Centers and the Community","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech\u2019s Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) is launching the first session of the Spring 2026 \u003Cem\u003EInsights Series\u003C\/em\u003E, a faculty-focused exploration of sustainability challenges and research opportunities in the fast\u2011evolving world of data centers.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis session explores the community, policy, and governance challenges created by the rapid growth of data centers across Georgia and globally.

Yet algorithms routinely outperform these predictions in practice, prompting the question of which other structural properties may determine algorithm efficiency. In this talk, I will present a line of research showing that local structural properties of optimization problems can reveal tractability hidden by worst-case analysis. I will discuss two interconnected threads. The first develops a new complexity framework based on local subgradient variation, which captures when optimization is substantially easier than global bounds suggest. A striking consequence is that parallelization can provably accelerate convex optimization for broad problem classes---including those underlying classical lower bounds---overturning long-standing conventional wisdom. The second thread applies a similar \u0022closer look\u0022 philosophy to robust learning: I will discuss how local geometric structure enables polynomial-time algorithms with best-possible error guarantees for learning generalized linear and single-index models under adversarial noise and distributional shifts.

Yet algorithms routinely outperform these predictions in practice, prompting the question of which other structural properties may determine algorithm efficiency. In this talk, I will present a line of research showing that local structural properties of optimization problems can reveal tractability hidden by worst-case analysis. I will discuss two interconnected threads. The first develops a new complexity framework based on local subgradient variation, which captures when optimization is substantially easier than global bounds suggest. A striking consequence is that parallelization can provably accelerate convex optimization for broad problem classes---including those underlying classical lower bounds---overturning long-standing conventional wisdom. The second thread applies a similar \u0022closer look\u0022 philosophy to robust learning: I will discuss how local geometric structure enables polynomial-time algorithms with best-possible error guarantees for learning generalized linear and single-index models under adversarial noise and distributional shifts.

One example is the spontaneous polarization of valleys\u2014a pair of low-energy bands with opposite momenta related by time reversal. Such a valley ferromagnetic state can by detected through magnetic hysteresis in transport measurements. Another example is the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry, leading to anisotropic electronic order. This phenomenon remains less explored due to geometric limitations of devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHere we report an experimental observation of an intriguing interplay between these two types of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a rhombohedral hexalayer graphene device, using angle-resolved transport studies. Our findings point to the emergence of rotational-symmetry-broken valley domains or stripe order.

Large-scale pharmacogenomic resources such as the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer enable systematic analysis of drug\u2013cell line interactions; however, most computational approaches require response data for each drug, limiting generalization to novel compounds. Here, we propose a graph neural network framework that learns drug representations directly from molecular structure, supervised by pharmacogenomic similarity derived from response profiles. By aligning structural embeddings with biological response similarity, the model captures meaningful relationships between drugs while remaining independent of cell line features at inference. This enables zero-shot (cold-start) prediction, allowing similarity estimation and downstream prioritization for previously unseen drugs using only their molecular graphs. Our model was evaluated on the data from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) datasets accessed via PyTDC v1.1.15. It achieves substantial improvements in functional similarity prediction (Pearson=0.423, \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:NDCG@10=0.480\u0022\u003ENDCG@10=0.480\u003C\/a\u003E) and enables structure-only zero-shot twin matching of sensitive cell lines (average 53% hit rate, up to 100% in top cases), demonstrating its utility for guiding preclinical experimental design in precision oncology.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStructure-guided Genetics-informed Embeddings Enable Zero-shot Drug Sensitivity Prediction\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Structure-guided Genetics-informed Embeddings Enable Zero-shot Drug Sensitivity Prediction"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-08 11:37:40","changed_gmt":"2026-04-08 11:38:17","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-17T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-17T13:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-17T13:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-17 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-17 17:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-17 17:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB 5029","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689555":{"#nid":"689555","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Christian Llanes","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle: \u003C\/strong\u003EReinforcement Learning-Based Control and Safety Verification for Aerial Robotics\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate: \u003C\/strong\u003EWednesday, April 15th, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime: \u003C\/strong\u003E10:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation: \u003C\/strong\u003ETSRB 523a\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVirtual Link:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/238620699085923?p=4zgiZl6IqYJrmBv4Bu\u0022\u003EMicrosoft Teams\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EChristian Llanes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERobotics PhD Candidate\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchristianllanes.com%2F\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7C953f172a06fa4e22b94a08de94e8999e%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639111923913387659%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=LVw2Zv3UKq498JfW8yeCQo4nmAx6wcpFJHsAHXLyEW8%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/christianllanes.com\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Samuel Coogan (Advisor) - School of Electrical and Computer Engineering \u0026amp; School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Kyriakos G.

However, these methods typically lack safety guarantees using formal verification. We contribute to autonomy for aerial robotics by using learning-based techniques and a safe verification method for supervising unverified controllers. Specifically, we propose a navigation framework for urban air mobility and aerial robotics that leverages actor-critic model predictive control \u0026nbsp;for urban air mobility, and using reachability with control barrier functions for verifying these learning-based methods. We leverage mixed monotonicity to quickly overapproximate reachable sets for aerial drone dynamics in real-time.

A particularly interesting phenomenon is the emergence of mobility edges, which separate localized and extended states within the same energy spectrum. In strictly one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems described by the standard Aubry-Andr\u00e9 model, these mobility edges are conventionally absent due to an inherent global self-duality. This thesis investigates the localization properties in Aubry-Andr\u00e9 atomic wires, demonstrating that the simultaneous addition of spin-orbit coupling and transverse Rabi fields explicitly breaks this self-duality. The effects of the fermionic filling factor and the varying degrees of duality breaking are studied to build a comprehensive picture of how these fields generate robust mobility regions. Additionally, this thesis explores the topological properties of the system by treating the relative optical laser phase as a synthetic dimension, enabling an exact mapping to two-dimensional quantum Hall systems to classify three distinct topological phases.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBreaking Duality: Mobility Regions and Topological Phases in Spin-Orbit Coupled Atomic Wires\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Breaking Duality: Mobility Regions and Topological Phases in Spin-Orbit Coupled Atomic Wires"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:55:42","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:56:23","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-10T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-10T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-10T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-10 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-10 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-10 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Pettit Microelectronics, 102A\u0026B ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689551":{"#nid":"689551","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Srinivas Vivek Bokkisa","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Civil and Environmental Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Thesis Defense Announcement\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMULTISCALE ASSESSMENT OF FABRIC IN GRANULAR SOILS\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBy\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Srinivas Vivek Bokkisa\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDr. Jorge Macedo\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECommittee Members:\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp; Dr. David Frost (CEE\/GT), Dr. Sheng Dai (CEE\/GT), Dr. Pedro Arduino (CEE\/Univ. of Washington), Dr. Alba Yerro-Colom (CEE\/Virginia Tech), Dr. Alexandros Petalas (Offshore Geotechnics\/Durham University)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDate and Time:\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp; April, 21, 2026.\u0026nbsp; 11 AM (ET)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation:\u0026nbsp;SEB122 or \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F92868470813\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7C327e7f94e5b24ce0734c08de94c01d5f%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639111750030077653%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=tGQjXBdgexH2LVuX7WiXLvOQ0vcZfyqVT6TDn2mdRd0%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/92868470813\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EABSTRACT\u003Cbr\u003ESoil fabric, the internal organization of particles, contacts, and voids, is a fundamental\u003Cbr\u003Evariable governing the mechanical behavior of granular soils. Within the framework of\u003Cbr\u003EAnisotropic Critical State Theory (ACST), this thesis investigates the role of soil fabric\u003Cbr\u003Eacross constitutive and macro scales, while also examining the microstructural basis of its\u003Cbr\u003Econstitutive representation. At the constitutive scale, the results show that the onset of\u003Cbr\u003Einstability is a directional and fabric-sensitive phenomenon governed by loading path, fabric\u003Cbr\u003Eanisotropy, and state. Under generalized loading, these interactions give rise to fabricdependent\u003Cbr\u003Einstability surfaces that distinguish stable from unstable states. The analyses\u003Cbr\u003Efurther show that the influence of initial anisotropic consolidation on instability depends on\u003Cbr\u003Ethe coupled effects of material compressibility, stress path, and fabric evolution. To support\u003Cbr\u003Ethe reliable engineering application of ACST-based modeling, robust stress-integration\u003Cbr\u003Estrategies are also developed and evaluated. At the macro scale, Material Point Method\u003Cbr\u003Esimulations show that cone penetration response is strongly fabric-sensitive, with different\u003Cbr\u003Einitial fabric orientations producing markedly different cone resistances even in soils with similar initial state. At the microstructural scale, X-ray micro-computed tomography and\u003Cbr\u003Eimage-based characterization of a clean sand prepared by different deposition methods show\u003Cbr\u003Ethat deposition history leaves a clear and measurable signature on inherent fabric, even at\u003Cbr\u003Esimilar global void ratio. The results further show that the measured fabric depends on both\u003Cbr\u003Epreparation method and the microstructural descriptor used to characterize it. Although the\u003Cbr\u003Emagnitude of anisotropy varies among descriptors, the dominant initial fabric direction\u003Cbr\u003Eremains predominantly horizontal, providing an experimental basis for interpreting initial\u003Cbr\u003Efabric tensors in ACST-based models. Overall, the thesis identifies soil fabric as a key\u003Cbr\u003Emultiscale variable governing granular soil behavior and provides new insights for its\u003Cbr\u003Einterpretation and modeling in geotechnical engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMULTISCALE ASSESSMENT OF FABRIC IN GRANULAR SOILS\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"MULTISCALE ASSESSMENT OF FABRIC IN GRANULAR SOILS"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:53:46","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:54:01","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-21T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-21T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-21T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-21 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"SEB122 ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689550":{"#nid":"689550","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Sarang Joshi","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp; Compact Procedural Models for Creating and Processing Wallpaper Meshes\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Thursday, 16th\u0026nbsp; April 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Eastern Time)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;CODA C1108 Brookhaven\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZoom Link:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F96426864403\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7C1e18b83134b343a9442908de94c6f9b2%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639111779548812470%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=RheoW2yL4YqJRi6CV67kLllu8UO0%2F8zk%2BBZDnyzyi7I%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/96426864403\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESarang Joshi\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Candidate\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee members:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Jarek Rossignac (advisor): Professor Emeritus, School of Interactive\u0026nbsp;Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Gregory Turk (advisor): Professor, School of Interactive\u0026nbsp;Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Bo Zhu: Associate Professor, School of Interactive\u0026nbsp;Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Sehoon Ha: Associate Professor, School of Interactive\u0026nbsp;Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Jeff Wilson: Senior Research Scientist, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Thanos Economou - Professor, School of Architecture,\u0026nbsp;Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA planar mesh is a partition of the plane into a set of vertices, edges, and faces.

However, despite these achievements, Model-Free RL agents continue to face two critical challenges that inhibit their utility: (1) the Performance Challenge, how well the agent works, characterized by poor sample efficiency, instability in training, and mediocre generalization; and (2) the Interpretability Challenge, how well the agent can be understood, as agents remain difficult to understand and explain to stakeholders. Thus, this dissertation is guided by a singular purpose \u2013 to advance Model-Free Reinforcement Learning by improving agent performance and interpretability. Although these challenges may seem distinct, they share a common dependency \u2013 the state representation, i.e., how the agent views and encodes its environment. State Representation Learning (SRL), a fundamental component of Model-Free RL, offers a variety of methods that seek to do just that \u2013 enhance the state representation. However, existing SRL approaches primarily focus on performance and do not explicitly address interpretability. Moreover, across SRL classes, there exists no unified approach that enables online, structured, relational state representation learning in a manner that is both environment-agnostic and algorithm-agnostic. This deficiency constitutes the central technical gap addressed in this work. To address this gap, this dissertation introduces Graph-ReCon: a graph-based framework for induced relational context in Model-Free RL. Graph-ReCon extends the traditional Model-Free RL pipeline by incorporating a Relational Context component, consisting of three core parts: (1) an experience graph that captures agent-environment interactions; (2) a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to process the experience graph; and (3) two auxiliary losses to further refine the state representation space. The Graph-ReCon framework is evaluated in two complementary parts. Part I, consisting of three experiments, demonstrates consistent improvements in sample efficiency, training stability, generalization, and interpretability across multiple environments and algorithms. Part II extends this evaluation to cybersecurity, highlighting Graph-ReCon\u2019s practical utility in a high-stakes domain. Collectively, these results demonstrate that incorporating relational context leads to more effective and more interpretable agents. Ultimately, this work is grounded in a simple, but elegant principle: decisions are important, but the relationships between decisions are no less important than the decisions themselves.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-20, 12:30 p.m.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Collaborative Visualization Environment (CoVE) Weber SST II\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Woong-Je Sung, School of\u0026nbsp;Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dalton Lin, Sam Nunn School of International\u0026nbsp;Affairs\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Anqi Wu, School of Computational Science\u0026nbsp;and Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Xiuwei Zhang, School of Computational Science\u0026nbsp;and Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGraph-ReCon: A Graph-Based Framework for Induced Relational Context in Model-Free Reinforcement Learning\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Graph-ReCon: A Graph-Based Framework for Induced Relational Context in Model-Free Reinforcement Learning"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:48:53","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:49:31","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-20T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-20T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-20T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-20 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-20 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-20 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Collaborative Visualization Environment (CoVE) Weber SST II","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689548":{"#nid":"689548","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Brenden Oates","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Brenden Oates\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor: Dr. Marilyn Smith\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMilestone: PhD Thesis Final Examination (Defense)\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDegree Program: Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETitle: A Dynamic Model of Unpiloted Aerial Systems for Complex Ship Airwake Environments\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: The complex airwake generated by naval ships poses a number of challenges for aircraft operations at sea. The bluff-body geometry of the ship itself creates troublesome turbulent structures that convect downstream over the flight deck where most vehicle launch and recovery takes place. In recent years there has been an increase in the procurement and application of small unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) in many different fields. Shipboard operations of small UAV have great potential for a number of applications, including rapid natural disaster relief operations, systems support intelligence and reconnaissance, geo-sensing and mapping, and more. These smaller, novel UAVs are not constrained by the same design factors that go into traditional, full-scale aircraft and there are a number of uniquely designed systems that do not have a abundance of historical data to inform their operational limits in complex airwake environments. At-sea experimental testing is the most informative and accurate way to determine vehicle aerodynamic characteristics in these environments, but it is extremely costly and time-consuming. Advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods have been developed to resolve much of the turbulent flow structures and the interactions with the vehicle, but require significant allocations or investments in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters all while still requiring notable wall-clock time for converged results. Shipboard operations require fast, computationally efficient, and physically realistic modeling capabilities to supplement the traditional, resource-intensive experimental approaches. A tool of this nature must balance cost and accuracy while capturing the essential physics of the ship airwake and the corresponding unsteady aerodynamic response of the vehicle. This effort focuses on developing an integrated machine learning (ML) -based modeling and simulating framework for predicting complex ship airwake quantities and the resulting small UAV responses during launch and recovery; and assessing the sensitivity, relative cost, and the accuracy of these predictions. First, metrics need to be defined for what constitutes a realistic reduced-order model of the complex ship airwake with respect to small UAV shipboard operations. To accomplish this, low-order flight dynamics simulations are employed to investigate the unsteady, dynamic vehicle response along the approach path towards the flight deck. The unsteady behavior of the vehicle through time is correlated to the specific structures in the airwake that induce energetic responses. These are used as benchmark quantities to capture in the reduced-order model for functionally realistic ship airwake predictions. Finally, a new model is introduced that incorporates the ML-based airwake predictions coupled with vehicle flight dynamics and an autonomous trim routine to predict the realistic trajectory of the small UAV given a prescribed approach path to help inform safe operating limits based on the given ship-UAV combination.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-09, 1:00PM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Price Gilbert 4222\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Marilyn Smith (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Juergen Rauleder, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Beckett Zhou, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Karen Feigh, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Daniel Prosser, US Navy\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA Dynamic Model of Unpiloted Aerial Systems for Complex Ship Airwake Environments\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Dynamic Model of Unpiloted Aerial Systems for Complex Ship Airwake Environments"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:45:48","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:46:23","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-09T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-09T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-09T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-09 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-09 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-09 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Price Gilbert 4222","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689547":{"#nid":"689547","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Anant Girdhar","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Anant Girdhar\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor: \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jeff.jagoda@aerospace.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejeff.jagoda@aerospace.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMilestone: PhD Thesis Final Examination (Defense)\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDegree Program: Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETitle: A Process-Based Interpretable Data-Driven Framework for Local Chemical Kinetic Model Comparison\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: Simulation of reacting flow in practical combustors require reduced chemical kinetic models in order to remain computationally tractable. However, comparisons between detailed and reduced chemistry models are frequently based on global observables and therefore do not clearly explain where local discrepancies arise or what physical and chemical processes are responsible for them. When treated as high-dimensional vector spaces, combustion datasets can be partitioned and described compactly through clustering and dimensionality reduction techniques. These techniques are typically used to create transportable Reduced Order Models instead of for analysis. Additionally, they are typically used in conjunction with state-space based representations of the data which do not provide mechanistic insight into local processes. This dissertation develops a process-based, interpretable, data-driven framework for comparative model analysis using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) applied to species-level chemistry and diffusion contributions. A bluff-body stabilized combustor is used as a motivating benchmark. A freely propagating laminar premixed flame and an opposed-jet premixed flame are used as controlled canonical configurations for method development and comparison. A 17-species reduced methane-air chemical kinetic model is compared against the detailed 53-species GRI Mech 3.0 to demonstrate the methodology. A state-space based L-PCA analysis provides a baseline description of thermochemical structure, while the process-space NMF analysis yields additive factors that are directly connected to local transport and chemistry. Reaction path analysis is used to validate the decomposition against known chemical pathways. The results show that process-based decompositions provide a useful complementary view of chemical model discrepancies and can organize similarities and differences between detailed and reduced mechanisms more clearly than global comparisons alone. In addition, the analysis suggests an emergent interpretation based on the relative alignment of chemistry and diffusion feature vectors, which may offer a useful lens for discussing flame-zone structure. Overall, this work shows that process-based unsupervised decompositions can serve a useful additional layer of analysis for comparing detailed and reduced chemistry models in premixed flames.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-15, 10 am\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Gary Beringause Community Room, Georgia Tech Police Department\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jeff.jagoda@aerospace.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejeff.jagoda@aerospace.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Lakshmi Sankar, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Andrew Medford, School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Turab Zaidi, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Christopher Jeffery, Los Alamos National Laboratory\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA Process-Based Interpretable Data-Driven Framework for Local Chemical Kinetic Model Comparison\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Process-Based Interpretable Data-Driven Framework for Local Chemical Kinetic Model Comparison"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:43:47","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:44:32","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-15T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-15T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-15T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-15 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-15 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-15 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Gary Beringause Community Room, Georgia Tech Police Department","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689546":{"#nid":"689546","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Nitya Maruthuvakudi Venkatram","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Nitya Maruthuvakudi Venkatram\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor: Dr. Dimitri Mavris\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMilestone: PhD Thesis Proposal\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDegree Program: Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETitle: Intent-Conditioned Trade-Space Exploration and Decision Support for Early-Stage Aerospace System Design\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: Early-stage aerospace design is the period during which fundamental architectural choices are made under the greatest uncertainty. The decisions made in this phase, covering performance budgets, structural concepts, and propulsion configurations, are rarely substantially revised thereafter, yet the processes that govern them provide no structured means of revisiting them coherently as requirements, assumptions, and knowledge continue to evolve. A review of the literature reveals that, despite mature processes for feasibility assessment and requirements management, early-stage aerospace design lacks a systematic means of exploring, justifying, and revisiting design decisions as the knowledge that governs them continues to evolve. To address these, this thesis proposes a methodology centered on the concept of \u0022system intent\u0022, the formally encoded combination of prioritized requirements, decision rationale, explicit assumptions, and tacit knowledge, and its systematic connection to multidisciplinary trade-space exploration and decision justification. The methodology is developed across three successive research areas and evaluated through a multi-domain, commercial-aircraft conceptual design demonstration that involves sequential changes to requirements and assumptions. The result is a pipeline that equips designers to formally encode the reasoning behind design decisions in a way that actively drives trade-study formulation, to respond to requirement and assumption changes through targeted updates rather than complete reconstruction, and to assess, at any point in the conceptual phase, which assumptions most threaten the stability of the current design selection and what would need to change for an alternative decision to be warranted, capabilities that current practice does not support. This work provides a structured foundation for design decision-making in complex aerospace programs where requirements, priorities, and knowledge are subject to continuous revision.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-23, 8AM - 11AM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Collaborative Design Environment (CoVE), Weber (SST II)\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EProf. Daniel Schrage, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EProf. Kai James (Pending), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Elena Garcia, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Jorge Camacho-Casero, Airbus\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIntent-Conditioned Trade-Space Exploration and Decision Support for Early-Stage Aerospace System Design\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Intent-Conditioned Trade-Space Exploration and Decision Support for Early-Stage Aerospace System Design"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:41:02","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:41:36","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-23T08:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-23T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-23T11:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-23 12:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-23 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-23 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Collaborative Design Environment (CoVE), Weber (SST II)","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689545":{"#nid":"689545","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Jun Baek","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJun Baek\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAdvisor: Prof. Seung Soon Jang\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cem\u003Ewill propose a doctoral thesis entitled\u003C\/em\u003E,\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMulti-scale Computational Investigation of Interfacial Dynamics in Zinc-ion Batteries\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cem\u003EOn\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETuesday, April 28 at 12:00 pm\u003Cbr\u003EMRDC 4211\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVirtually via\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/24173259120565?p=3RRFE13az92HpDpwO2\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/24173259120565?p=3RRFE13az92HpDpwO2\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Prof. Seung Soon Jang \u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering (advisor)\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Prof. Matthew McDowell \u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Prof. Emma Hu \u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002Prof. Marta Hatzell - School of Mechanical Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002Prof. Julia Yang - School of Chemical and Biological Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a compelling alternative for next-generation energy storage systems due to their inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.

Beurling density bounds for basis-type systems have been studied for several decades, in the frameworks of exponential systems, Gabor systems, wavelets and more general reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. In the work of Olevskii and Ulanovskii (2009), and Nitzan (2024), necessary density conditions were established for a new class of systems known as \u2018near-uniformly minimal\u2019 exponentials. Near-uniform minimality is a generalization of uniform minimality (which itself can be thought of as an analogue of linear independence). We deduce analogous necessary density conditions for near-uniformly minimal Gabor systems. Completeness is a dual property to minimality. Much in the same way, Nitzan (2024) introduced a dual notion of \u2018uniformly complete\u2019 exponentials. She also proved necessary density conditions in this case, using a duality argument, connecting it to near-uniform minimality. We establish analogous density bounds for uniformly complete Gabor systems. However, we use a different technique, since duality fails for Gabor systems over the real line. We extend many of our results relating to near-uniform minimality\/completeness, to select reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the next chapter, we study woven weighted exponential systems. A classical problem that has been extensively studied, is the basis structure problem of weighted exponentials. We consider analogous questions in the woven setting. As the name suggests, given two weights f and g, a weaving is a sequence where some of the vectors are taken from the first weighted exponential system, and the remaining are taken from the other. In our setup the standard ordering is imposed on the integers. Casazza, Cabrelli and Molter have studied woven systems in abstract Hilbert space. Our focus is specifically on woven weighted exponentials in L^2([0,a]). We obtain a complete characterization of wovenly complete systems, based on the properties of the two weights f and g. We also find a characterization for woven Bessel systems and orthonormal bases. In the case of woven frames\/Riesz bases, we obtain sufficient conditions, involving a suitable perturbation requirement on g relative to f.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the final chapter, we study oblique dual frames and weighted frames in Hilbert space. Given two subspaces of a Hilbert space, W and V, such that W and the orthogonal complement of V form a direct sum, we can define oblique duals. Oblique duals generalize frame duals, in the sense, that for a frame {f_n} in a subspace W, an oblique dual is a frame {g_n} living in V , satisfying a decomposition condition for elements in W.\u0026nbsp; We define a more general notion known as \u2018weighted oblique dual frames\u2019, where the usual oblique dual decomposition becomes a weighted sum. When the weight sequence is {1}, one gets the usual oblique dual. Analogous to the known results for oblique duals, we obtain a complete characterization of weighted oblique duals. We also study their existence when the weight sequence may be degenerate. Another avenue we explore, includes proving weighted potential and coherence results for weighted oblique dual frames. Finally, we establish a connection between the existence of weighted oblique dual frames, and the weighted frame problem.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGabor density bounds, woven systems and weighted oblique dual frames\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Gabor density bounds, woven systems and weighted oblique dual frames"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:33:23","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 20:34:01","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-27T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-27T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-27T12:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-27 14:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-27 16:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-27 16:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"ZOOM","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689516":{"#nid":"689516","#data":{"type":"event","title":"IDEaS + AI-ALOE Distinguished Lecture: AI and Lifelong Learning: Building the 60-Year Curriculum for the Fourth Industrial Revolution","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDigital technologies are reshaping our work and our lives at unprecedented speed. This presentation examines three forces driving this Fourth Industrial Revolution: exponentiality, convergence, and ubiquity, and their implications for higher education and adult learning. Dr. Schatz explores critical questions: How do we leverage AI-enabled personalization to support careers when 40% of worker skills become obsolete every five years? How do we design learning ecosystems that scale adaptive support across institutional boundaries? How do we use data to inform lifelong learning while respecting individuals\u2019 data sovereignty?

This thesis investigates whether interconnects can be engineered as independent building blocks for heterogeneous RF\/mmWave systems. It presents a 3D stitch-chip-based, interconnect-focused integration platform that decouples interconnect design from active dice and enables independent optimization of electrical performance and integration flexibility. The concept is established through 3D stitch-chip fabrication and extended to active-die integration. Stacked-via and glass-via implementations further improve vertical scalability and broaden the architectural scope of stitch-chip-based integration. To address the isolation and loss limitations of conventional TSVs for RF\/mmWave vertical integration, airgap-isolated semi-coaxial TSV structures are developed to reduce parasitic effects and enable 50 \u03a9 design at reduced pitch. Finally, a liquid-cooled pin-fin platform incorporating airgap-isolated TSVs demonstrates the feasibility of extending the proposed interconnect approach toward thermally managed multi-tier RF\/mmWave integration.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"3D Heterogeneous Integration for RF\/mmWave Electronics"}],"uid":"36804","created_gmt":"2026-04-07 13:16:53","changed_gmt":"2026-04-07 13:31:33","author":"jjones779","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-13T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-13T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-13T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-13 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-13 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/s\/97479881077?pwd=c68ae31PADgaYXgXisFA4I7VtR4e01.1","title":"Zoom Link "}],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689489":{"#nid":"689489","#data":{"type":"event","title":"COC Ramblin\u0027 Hacks","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWhen: 12pm, Friday, April 10 - 4:45pm, Saturday, April 11\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation: Klaus Atrium\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWho: All students are welcome to participate.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERegister on the site or use the link provided.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin us for our second go-round of Ramblin\u0027 Hacks, the College of Computing\u0027s annual hackathon!

In this work, we propose a population-scale radiomic framework to understand inter-organ fat dynamics using whole-body MRI for cardiovascular diseases. Methods: We integrate automated deep learning organ segmentation to extract voxel-wise signals across five organs- heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and intestine. Fat fraction maps were partitioned into population-anchored density-stratified subregions, from which morphological and intensity radiomic features were derived per subject and reduced via LASSO bootstrap stability selection. Organ-specific and multi-organ Cox Proportional Hazards models were trained on a geographically stratified split and evaluated for 10-year incident MACE prediction, benchmarked against conventional adiposity measures and established clinical risk factors. Results: Combined multi-organ risk score yielded the highest discrimination for 10-year MACE (C-index = 0.636; HR = 1.76, p \u0026lt; 0.001), exceeding the performance of individual organ models (heart C-index= 0.635, pancreas C-index= 0.605, liver C-index= 0.598, kidney C-index= 0.590, intestine C-index= 0.585) and consistently outperforming visceral adipose tissue alone (C-index= 0.602) and subcutaneous fat alone (C-index= 0.50) model. Integrated model (inter-organ fat + clinical model), improved discrimination to C-index= 0.772 (\u0394C-index= +0.7%), over the clinical alone model. The dominant selected features across organs were morphological and the fat subregion volume. These results establish that shape-based characterization of focal high-density ectopic fat deposits, rather than scalar fat fraction, is the primary imaging determinant of cardiovascular risk, and motivate integration of multi-organ fat radiomics into population imaging pipelines for personalized preventive cardiology.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMulti-Organ Fat quantification from Whole-Body MRI for longitudinal prediction of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Multi-Organ Fat quantification from Whole-Body MRI for longitudinal prediction of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-06 19:31:01","changed_gmt":"2026-04-06 19:31:41","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-14T09:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-14T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-14T10:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-14 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-14 14:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-14 14:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Conference Room N657 HSRB II, Emory University, Atlanta, GA ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689482":{"#nid":"689482","#data":{"type":"event","title":"MS Defense by Wenjin Zhang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWenjin Zhang\u003Cbr\u003EBME MS Thesis Defense Presentation\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate\u003C\/strong\u003E: 2026-04-17\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime\u003C\/strong\u003E: 10:30 - 12:00 pm\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation \/ Meeting Link\u003C\/strong\u003E: IBB 1316\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee Members:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Brandon Dixon (Advisor), Dr. Shuichi Takayama, Dr. Susan Thomas\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle\u003C\/strong\u003E: MECHANICAL DYSFUNCTION IN LYMPHATIC MALFORMATION ENDOTHELIAL CELLS UNDER WALL SHEAR STRESS\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELymphatic malformations (LMs) are rare congenital vascular anomalies driven by somatic PIK3CA mutations that cause constitutive PI3K\/AKT hyperactivation and uncontrolled lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) proliferation. While the genetic basis of LM is increasingly understood, the role of biomechanical factors in disease progression remains poorly characterized. Healthy LECs continuously sense fluid shear stress generated by lymph flow, and proper mechanosensing is essential for vascular quiescence. Thus we want to answer the question of how LM cells respond to shear stress and how this mechanical clue contributes to disease progression. We first hypothesized that LM derived cells exhibit impaired mechanotransduction compared to healthy human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs) under wall shear stress. Patient-derived LM cells with PIK3CA mutations and HDLECs were subjected to controlled steady laminar wall shear stress using an in vitro microfluidic flow system. Cytoskeletal responses were quantified by actin fiber orientation, alignment index, and deviation angle relative to flow direction. Experimental result showed that LM-derived cells failed to align in response to shear stress while HDLECs align in the flow direction. To investigate whether this failure stems from a breakdown of mechanosensory pathways, we inhibited VEGFR3 in healthy HDLECs. This recapitulated the LM phenotype, demonstrating that VEGFR3 is required for flow sensing. Further immunofluorescence analysis showed that VE-cadherin junctional protein was either absent or mislocalized in LM cells, indicating structural collapse of the endothelial mechanosensory complex that can lead to mechanical dysfunction. This work highlights the critical role of mechanical dysfunction in LMs and provides insights on how disrupted mechanosensing can contribute to LM disease progression.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMECHANICAL DYSFUNCTION IN LYMPHATIC MALFORMATION ENDOTHELIAL CELLS UNDER WALL SHEAR STRESS\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"MECHANICAL DYSFUNCTION IN LYMPHATIC MALFORMATION ENDOTHELIAL CELLS UNDER WALL SHEAR STRESS"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-06 19:20:56","changed_gmt":"2026-04-06 19:21:42","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-17T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-17T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-17T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-17 14:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-17 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-17 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"IBB 1316","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689477":{"#nid":"689477","#data":{"type":"event","title":"2026 Earth Month Bird Walk Tour","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJoin Georgia Tech Birdwatchers for a walk to enjoy the sounds of nature and study birds in their natural habitat.

Among the optical properties that govern such applications, the electric dipole polarizability plays a central role, directly determining the refractive index and elastic scattering cross-sections. However, these environments often exhibit flow fields where translational, rotational, and vibrational energy modes are decoupled, producing non-Boltzmann populations that persist over significant spatial and temporal scales. Vibrational non-equilibrium, in particular, has been shown to significantly alter the polarizability, especially for homonuclear diatomics where vibrational relaxation is slow. Accurately modeling the polarizability under these conditions is therefore essential for reliable interpretation of experimental diagnostic data. Semi-classical light-matter interaction theory determines the polarizability entirely from spectroscopic data: line positions, Einstein A coefficients, and continuum absorption cross-sections. However, efforts to model the polarizability under non-equilibrium have been constrained by inadequacies in these data for high lying energy levels, particularly state-resolved photodissociation spectra, which often end up dominating the total polarizability. This work addresses these gaps by generating state-specific transition data via ab initio spectroscopic calculations. Using electronic data as input and employing variational solutions to the nuclear Schr\u00f6dinger equation implemented in the Duo code, we generate state-resolved, bound-bound and bound-free transition data for the complete rovibrational manifold up to dissociation. We validate this approach on molecular oxygen, using the Schumann-Runge electronic band system as a pilot case, achieving agreement within 10 % for bound-bound spectra compared to HITRAN, and within 30 % for photodissociation cross-sections. The equilibrium polarizability at 300 K computed using the same data, however, matches experiment to within 1 %, validating the approach. Using this validated framework, we quantify diagnostic errors for two canonical non-equilibrium cases: normal shocks and supersonic expansions. For the range of conditions examined, equilibrium assumptions introduce systematic errors of up to 8 % for interferometric measurements and 16 % for Rayleigh scattering experiments. These results provide a rigorous, state-resolved assessment of non-equilibrium polarizability effects and establish a transferable methodology for other molecular species and optical diagnostics. More generally, this work shows that ab initio spectroscopy is a viable alternative to move beyond spectroscopic data \u0022blindspots\u0022 that constrain advanced aerospace research.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-06, 13:15\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: MK-317 Conference Room\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Jerry Seitzman (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Joshua Kretchmer, School of Chemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Adam Steinberg, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAB INITIO SPECTROSCOPY CALCULATIONS FOR ASSESSING NON-EQUILIBRIUM GAS VIBRATIONAL EFFECTS ON OPTICAL DIAGNOSTICS\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"AB INITIO SPECTROSCOPY CALCULATIONS FOR ASSESSING NON-EQUILIBRIUM GAS VIBRATIONAL EFFECTS ON OPTICAL DIAGNOSTICS"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-06 18:06:11","changed_gmt":"2026-04-06 18:06:44","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-06T13:15:32-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-06T15:15:32-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-06T15:15:32-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-06 17:15:32","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-06 19:15:32","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-06 19:15:32","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MK-317 Conference Room","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689479":{"#nid":"689479","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Gabriella Kabboul Massaad","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EGabriella Kabboul Massaad\u003Cbr\u003EBME PhD Defense Presentation\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate: 2026-04-13\u003Cbr\u003ETime: 1:00 PM\u003Cbr\u003ELocation \/ Meeting Link: HSRB I W106 (Rollins Auditorium) \/ \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/emory.zoom.us\/j\/94926335918\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/emory.zoom.us\/j\/94926335918\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee Members:\u003Cbr\u003ERebecca D.

Despite progress in cardiac gene therapies, the use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) to deliver genes to the heart remains challenging due to inefficient myocardial gene uptake and immunological responses against AAV. The field has relied on increasing vector doses, resulting in dose-limiting toxicities and significant increases in cost of goods. Often overlooked, the delivery modality remains one of the biggest hurdles in cardiac gene therapy. Common administration routes result in poor cardiac gene uptake, systemic distribution to off-target organs, and immune-mediated responses against the vector. This project optimizes the delivery of AAV to the heart by engineering an epicardial hydrogel-based approach as a platform for enhanced cardiac gene therapy. In aim 1, synthetic hydrogels were engineered with tunable degradation kinetics for enhanced cardiac gene transfer. In aim 2, epicardial hydrogel delivery of AAV was compared to common routes of administration. In aim 3, the therapeutic efficacy of this epicardial hydrogel gene delivery platform was assessed as a proof-of-concept using follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) as a pre-validated therapeutic gene. These studies show epicardial hydrogel delivery localizes AAV to the heart, reduces immune responses against the AAV, and yields cardiac therapeutic benefits. Overall, these findings support epicardial hydrogel delivery as a novel platform for cardiac gene therapeutics.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEpicardial Hydrogel Delivery as a Platform for Cardiac Gene Therapeutics\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Epicardial Hydrogel Delivery as a Platform for Cardiac Gene Therapeutics"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-06 18:04:01","changed_gmt":"2026-04-06 18:04:01","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-13T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-13T15:00:59-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-13T15:00:59-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-13 19:00:59","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-13 19:00:59","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":": HSRB I W106 (Rollins Auditorium) \/ ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689478":{"#nid":"689478","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Adam Coscia","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Detecting and Mitigating Pedagogical Risks in Large Language Models With Visual Analytics\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAdam Coscia\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Candidate in Human-Centered Computing\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing, College of Computing\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/adamcoscia.com\/\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/adamcoscia.com\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Monday, April 27, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;10AM - 12PM Eastern time (U.S.)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/i8yusVJT3cryf5yC7\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/i8yusVJT3cryf5yC7\u0022\u003ETSRB\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;room 334 (VIS Lab) \u2013 just walk in, show your BuzzCard to the concierge if asked\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVirtual Meeting (hybrid):\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/3100254613?pwd=QWlKajNkOWlPbWkxR3N5MkZsTE9FZz09\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/3100254613?pwd=QWlKajNkOWlPbWkxR3N5MkZsTE9FZz09\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Alex Endert - School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Duen Horng (Polo) Chau\u0026nbsp;- School of Computational Science \u0026amp; Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Cindy Xiong Bearfield - School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Yalong Yang\u0026nbsp;- School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Scott Crossley - Department of Special Education, Vanderbilt University\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe advent of powerful new large language models (LLMs) has catalyzed a surge in LLM-powered educational technologies, enabling transformational advances that can empower learner agency, deliver personalized study materials, and promote active learning.

In particular, distributed training of deep neural networks (DNNs) relies on scalable matrix multiplication algorithms and efficient communication on high-speed interconnects. Pre-training and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with hundreds of billions to trillions of parameters and graph neural networks (GNNs) on extremely large graphs requires hundreds to tens of thousands of GPUs. However, such training often suffers from significant scaling bottlenecks such as high communication overheads and load imbalance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, I will present several systems research directions that directly impact AI model training. First, I will describe my group\u0027s work in using a three-dimensional parallel algorithm for matrix multiplication in large-scale LLM training.\u0026nbsp; Second, I will demonstrate the application of the same algorithm to full-graph and mini-batch GNN training when working with extremely large graphs.

Our approach has been used to support preliminary discussions about zone boundaries in SFUSD and are generalizable to other redistricting and participatory planning contexts.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"An interactive framework combining optimization and stakeholder feedback to design equitable multi-school zones with improved diversity, proximity, and participatory input."}],"uid":"36458","created_gmt":"2026-04-06 14:26:31","changed_gmt":"2026-04-06 14:41:45","author":"mellis74","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-10T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-10T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-10T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-10 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-10 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-10 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Groseclose 402 Executive Boardroom ","extras":["free_food"],"hg_media":{"679864":{"id":"679864","type":"image","title":"Irene Lo","body":null,"created":"1775486473","gmt_created":"2026-04-06 14:41:13","changed":"1775486473","gmt_changed":"2026-04-06 14:41:13","alt":"Irene Lo","file":{"fid":"264074","name":"irene-lo_profilephoto.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/04\/06\/irene-lo_profilephoto.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/04\/06\/irene-lo_profilephoto.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":11690,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/04\/06\/irene-lo_profilephoto.jpg?itok=omfjtvLg"}}},"media_ids":["679864"],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"194945","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689470":{"#nid":"689470","#data":{"type":"event","title":"MS Defense by Mackenzie Collis","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EName: Mackenzie Collis\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMaster\u0027s Thesis Defense Meeting\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDate: Tuesday, April 14, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETime: 10:00 \u2013 11:15 am\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation: Virtual\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZoom Link:\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/94193558105\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/94193558105\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/94193558105\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThesis Advisor\u003C\/strong\u003E:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Paul Verhaeghen, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee Members:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Christopher Stanzione, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mary Holder, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle: Minority Stress in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adults: The Main and Moderating Effects of Deaf Identity and Dispositional Mindfulness\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E: Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals frequently encounter discrimination and systemic barriers within hearing society. Framed within the Minority Stress Model, these chronic minority stressors contribute to profound psychological health disparities in the DHH population. The current study (N = 197 DHH adults) utilized a cross-sectional survey design and hierarchical multiple regression analyses to examine whether deaf identity and trait mindfulness facets act as protective buffers between perceived discrimination and psychological outcomes. The results indicated that discrimination was a robust and significant predictor of higher perceived stress, anxiety, and depression, and diminished flourishing. Conversely, deaf identity and facets of trait mindfulness independently predicted positive psychological well-being. Moderation analyses found that deaf identity did not significantly buffer the impacts of discrimination, and the protective benefits of certain mindfulness facets (self-transcendence, self-compassion, and acceptance) were diminished in high-discrimination circumstances. As perceived discrimination increased, the psychological well-being of highly mindful individuals converged with the poorer levels of their less-mindful counterparts. Taken together, these findings suggest that internal resources, such as deaf identity and facets of trait mindfulness, are vital to general psychological well-being; however, the protective mechanisms of these factors alone are not enough to fully buffer the detrimental impact of discrimination. Ultimately, these results highlight a critical need to prioritize systemic interventions that provide external support to DHH individuals facing minority stress, in addition to individual psychological resources.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMinority Stress in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adults: The Main and Moderating Effects of Deaf Identity and Dispositional Mindfulness\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Minority Stress in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adults: The Main and Moderating Effects of Deaf Identity and Dispositional Mindfulness"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-06 12:39:09","changed_gmt":"2026-04-06 13:39:05","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-14T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-14T11:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-14T11:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-14 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-14 15:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-14 15:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Virtual","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"688877":{"#nid":"688877","#data":{"type":"event","title":"ISyE End-of-Year Showcase","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EHosted by IISE, SCLO, BISYE, and WISYE, this event is a chance for our ISYE community to come together and celebrate the achievements of each club throughout the year.

Yet the scheduling problems arising in modern fabs are highly complex, involving batching, machine dedications, setup times, multi-chamber tools, and critical queue times (CQTs). In practice, most fabs still rely on dispatching rules that are fast and simple to implement but struggle to enforce some of these technological constraints and remain myopic to high-quality solutions. This thesis addresses this gap through both theoretical research and industrial application, by developing advanced Constraint Programming (CP) models that exploit the structure of semiconductor scheduling problems and by validating them on real wafer-fab data from an industry partner.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe thesis focuses on the batching paradigms that arise in key bottleneck areas of wafer fabs. For parallel batching (p-batching) in the diffusion area, it develops new solver-independent CP models for incompatible job families, and extends them to incorporate family-machine dedications, multiple batch-bound functions, and CQTs. These contributions are complemented by an industrial application chapter, where the resulting models exploit the problem structure to decompose real fab instances and solve schedules with up to 400 jobs (10,000 wafers) in a matter of seconds, producing solutions up to 13% better than actual fab performance.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor s-batching with minimum batch sizes, motivated by the photolithography and ion implantation areas, the thesis introduces versatile CP models that can solve different variations of s-batching, a capability not shared by existing methods in the literature, which can only solve a specific s-batch variation. The proposed CP models additionally outperform existing mixed-integer programming and meta-heuristic approaches, generating schedules up to 20% better while being up to six times faster. The thesis further extends the initially proposed models and presents a more compact CP model for the ion implantation area in a wafer fab that finds solutions up to 25% better on larger instances with up to 500 jobs (12,500 wafers).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFinally, the thesis integrates the proposed parallel and serial batching ideas into a flexible job shop scheduling framework for wafer fabs that unifies parallel batching tools, multi-chamber machines with setups between wafers, and multi-step CQTs. This theoretical framework is complemented by an industrial application chapter on large-scale instance derived from a real wafer fab, where the resulting model considers more than 600 tasks and individually schedules over 8,600 wafers at a detailed chamber level. The results suggest that within one-hour time limit, the model improves overall throughput by about 13%. Overall, the thesis shows that modern CP, when combined with problem-specific modeling, decomposition, and industrial validation, can substantially narrow the gap between detailed optimization models and the dispatching rules used in practice.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EScheduling in Semiconductor

We then develop new results for high-dimensional linear classification with imbalanced classes and use these results to develop useful heuristics for realistic pre-trained classification models. The second part of the thesis begins by challenging the use of linear and kernel methods as a framework for understanding modern ML models, showing that high-dimensional kernel methods suffer from fundamental approximation limitations not seen in neural networks. Finally, \u0026nbsp;we study a simple modification of the linear model that begins to bridge this gap, offering insight into how learnable feature maps can enable favorable generalization in high dimensions. \u0026nbsp;Overall, this dissertation aims to discover basic principles that provide theoretical support for common empirical observations, reveal sources of potential robustness failures, and inform the design of interpretable models and training procedures.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Kernel Perspectives on Generalization in High Dimensions "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2026-04-04 20:27:58","changed_gmt":"2026-04-04 20:29:03","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-15T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-15T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-15T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-15 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-15 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-15 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room C1115, CODA","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689465":{"#nid":"689465","#data":{"type":"event","title":"FulminoSat: Using Lightning to Measure the Ionosphere with a Georgia Tech CubeSat Constellation","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe modern world is becoming ever more dependent on space technologies.

Tasks such as object detection from image rely on additional sensors and tasks such as natural language processing performed using large language models (LLMs) require efficient access to large memory capacity. As a result, they require close interconnection between different components for efficient data and signal movement. Heterogeneous integration has been proposed recently to address such concerns. This dissertation proposes designs for various problems ranging from sensing-based edge technologies to large server-based hardware accelerators for LLMs. The work proposes designs and analysis different packaging schemes depending upon the requirements. It proposes heterogeneous integration of different components including emerging memories to be able to design efficient hardware for such applications. Further, this study addresses thermal challenges associated with such heterogeneous integrated designs. Evaluations are performed to compare various designs and compared against the state-of-the-art. Further, the study proposes path for designing and evaluating future memories and interconnect technologies, providing design insights into various bottlenecks and an evaluation methodology for performing an electrical-thermal system-level co-design. Building upon the CIS and LLM accelerator designs, this dissertation develops a systematic system-technology co-optimization (STCO) methodology for evaluating advanced packaging configurations. The methodology is applied to compare 2.5D interposer, 3D HBM-on-logic, and selective layer transfer (SLT) integration for LLM accelerators across inference and training workloads. Detailed thermal and power delivery analysis is performed for 3D stacked HBM and compute accelerators, examining the trade-offs between memory-on-logic and logic-on-memory configurations. A hybrid design combining elements of both approaches is proposed and shown to achieve favorable thermal profiles while maintaining high memory bandwidth. Finally, a generalized software-hardware co-design framework, NS-AP (NeuroSim for Advanced Packaging), is developed that extends the analysis to arbitrary packaging configurations and workloads. The framework operates at three levels: component, chip, and package, and incorporates physical design, thermal simulation, and power delivery analysis.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Electrical-thermal Co-design and System-level Analysis of Advanced Packaging Solutions for Hardware Accelerators and Sensor Technologies "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 22:24:23","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 22:25:41","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-23T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-23T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-23T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-23 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-23 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-23 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/2544575074050?p=tkbsxZMr0iBpFzfVtc","title":"Microsoft Teams Meeting link"}],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"688011":{"#nid":"688011","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Exhibition Opening | Cosmic Missteps: Turning Research Failures into Art","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003EThis exhibit opening celebrates the culmination of the \u003Cem\u003ECosmic Missteps\u003C\/em\u003E workshop series, showcasing artwork created by participants working alongside Georgia Tech researchers and artists.

Although coronary catheter angiography is the gold standard for CVD evaluation, it is invasive and relatively expensive. In contrast, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a more practical alternative because it is less invasive, more affordable, and more accessible. Despite these advantages, its image quality is often degraded by motion artifacts from the continuously beating heart. To reduce these artifacts, CTA commonly relies on electrocardiogram (ECG) gating to estimate cardiac quiescence, defined as the period of minimal cardiac motion. However, ECG reflects electrical activity rather than mechanical motion, making it an indirect surrogate for identifying true quiescent periods. Mechanical signals such as seismocardiography (SCG) and ultrasound (US) therefore offer promising alternatives for improving quiescence prediction. Although ultrasound has previously shown promise for identifying cardiac quiescence, its use during CT acquisition was limited by streak artifacts from conventional transducers. This dissertation develops multimodal gating frameworks to improve cardiac quiescence prediction for CTA. First, an SCG-ECG prediction framework was extended with a regression-based artificial neural network and evaluated using patient data, with diagnostic image quality assessed through a blinded reader study. Second, a deep learning-based US-ECG gating framework incorporating convolutional neural networks was developed and evaluated using multimodal datasets acquired from a dynamic heart motion phantom, enabling multimodal data acquisition under varied motion conditions. Third, the effect of US-ECG-based quiescence prediction on diagnostic image quality was assessed through a phantom-based CT reader study comparing reconstructed CTA images with conventional gating strategies. These contributions highlight the potential of multimodal gating to improve cardiac CTA and advance translation toward more reliable clinical imaging workflows.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Multimodal Predictive Frameworks for Cardiac Computed Tomography Gating "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 22:12:52","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 22:14:08","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-21T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-21T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-21T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-21 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-21 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 4222, Price Gilbert","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/96448479210?pwd=EfyBLKcEaxXpzEcndUzHTNz2vwu1aQ.1","title":"Zoom link"}],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689462":{"#nid":"689462","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Ph.D. Dissertation Defense - Muhammad Manul Islam","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cem\u003E:\u0026nbsp; Multidomain Modeling and Characterization of Ferroelectric and Antiferroelectric Devices for Emerging Memory Applications\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.\u0026nbsp;Azad Naeemi, ECE, Chair, Advisor\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.\u0026nbsp;Asif Khan, ECE, Co-Advisor\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.\u0026nbsp;Shimeng Yu, ECE\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.\u0026nbsp;Lauren Garten, MSE\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.\u0026nbsp;Jeffrey Davis, ECE\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.\u0026nbsp;Muhannad Bakir, ECE\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFerroelectric and antiferroelectric materials are promising candidates for future non-volatile memory technologies because of their distinctive polarization switching characteristics.

However, these advanced transmission mechanisms also introduce new vulnerabilities, particularly when attackers exploit interception\/detection techniques to infer CSI-related signal characteristics and launch intelligent attacks. These challenges motivate the development of evolved security concepts and wireless system designs that jointly consider performance optimization and security protection at the physical layer. To address these challenges, this dissertation develops a comprehensive research framework spanning three key aspects: wireless threat modeling, security metric formulation, and secure wireless system design. First, adversarial attacks, which can be viewed as intelligently designed jamming attacks, are investigated to reveal potential vulnerabilities in CSI feedback\u2013based wireless systems. Second, new security evaluation concepts are introduced to quantify the feasibility and effectiveness of such smart attacks in CSI-based wireless systems. Building upon the preceding security analysis, the dissertation further develops secure transmission strategies to mitigate the identified vulnerabilities and proposes an adaptive wireless system architecture that simultaneously achieves high performance and enhanced security.

The growing demand for non-isolated, high-voltage step-down converters that are energy-efficient and capable of supplying heavy load currents motivates this work. We focus on converter shrinking techniques to improve power density. First, we introduce a merged cross-connected double step-down (DSD) converter that enables high-frequency power delivery. Next, we present a dual-path hybrid Dickson (DPHD) converter, which reduces inductor RMS current and minimizes the need for external bootstrap capacitors, paving the way for higher current density.

Scientific AI assistants are becoming increasingly important for supporting biomedical research and clinical decision-making. However, the rapid growth of biomedical literature and patient data has made it difficult for clinicians and researchers to efficiently synthesize relevant evidence and derive actionable insights using traditional approaches. Existing clinical decision support and retrieval-based systems primarily rely on text matching or embedding similarity, which limits their ability to connect patient-specific information with deeper biomedical knowledge and mechanistic reasoning. As a result, these systems often provide limited support for hypothesis generation and treatment outcome reasoning. This proposal investigates the development of multimodal, retrieval-augmented biomedical AI assistants built on lightweight open-source large language models (LLMs). The proposed research aims to: (1) elucidate the current summarization capabilities of lightweight LLMs for biomedical literature, (2) develop a reliable and lightweight biomedical reasoning agent, and (3) develop a single- or multi-agent biomedical framework.

Modern generative models require high test-time plasticity to remain responsive to complex and dynamic human intentions. However, this same architectural flexibility inadvertently leaves them vulnerable to manipulation by bad actors and unintended changes. To ensure AI remains an empowering tool rather than a fragile liability, this dissertation presents a comprehensive framework for adapting models safely to user intent. First, this work introduces interpretable test-time mechanisms that empower users to precisely steer model behavior. These interventions are designed to enforce hard constraints in graph diffusion models and guide large language and imitation learning models toward exemplary and directed behavior descriptions. However, because unconstrained plasticity inherently alters a model\u2019s risk profile, the research then systematically diagnoses the vulnerabilities in the systems, exposing vulnerabilities in dynamic graph models and multimodal language models. To safely support user-driven controllability without succumbing to these adversarial risks, the final phase demonstrates how structural adaptivity of system prompts can protect a language model\u2019s core without compromising its benign behavior. Ultimately, this research works towards resolving the modern stability-plasticity dilemma, transforming vulnerable networks into deeply steerable and secure extensions of human intent.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAdapting Models to User Intent for Safe and Controllable Generation\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Adapting Models to User Intent for Safe and Controllable Generation"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 19:51:55","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 19:52:20","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-21T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-21T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-21T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-21 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-21 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-21 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Coda C1303 Glenwood ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689450":{"#nid":"689450","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Josie Hickman","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMs. Josie Hickman\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThesis Title:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0022Encapsulation of Modulatable Contrast Agents\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThursday, April 9th, 2026 at 12:30 PM\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation: MoSE 3201A\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECommittee Members:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProf. Robert Dickson (Advisor)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;- School of Chemistry and Biochemistry\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProf. Amanda Stockton\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;- School of Chemistry and Biochemistry\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProf. Marcus Cicerone -\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;School of Chemistry and Biochemistry\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProf. Younan Xia\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;- School of Chemistry and Biochemistry\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProf. Stanislav Emelianov\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;- Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEncapsulation of Modulatable Contrast Agents\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Encapsulation of Modulatable Contrast Agents"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 19:50:18","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 19:50:47","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-09T12:30:29-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-09T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-09T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-09 16:30:29","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-09 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-09 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MoSE 3201A","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"194565","name":"Phd Defense (100811"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689056":{"#nid":"689056","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Kendeda Building Tour","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EExplore Regenerative Design at The Kendeda Building!\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJoin us for a guided tour of The Kendeda Building and explore how regenerative design is shaping the future of sustainable architecture.

The MGGUM,\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ean extension of the unidimensional generalized graded unfolding model (GGUM), has been\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eapplied across various psychological domains. It often requires large samples, especially with\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Emultidimensional data, which leads to a difficulty in the practical application of the model in\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Esocial science research where smaller samples prevail. To address this limitation, the present\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Estudy incorporates additional information about MGGUM item locations via MDS scale values\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ederived from similarity judgments between stimulus pairs. This integration is expected to improve\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ethe precision of item parameter estimates in the MGGUM. Specifically, the proposed model\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eframework simultaneously estimates the item parameters of MGGUM and item scale values from\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMDS by connecting them through a multivariate normal distribution. The variance-covariance\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ematrix of the multivariate normal distribution specifies the relationship between the perceptual\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eitem locations (MDS scale values derived from dissimilarities data) and preferential item locations\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(MGGUM item locations derived from preference or [graded] disagree-agree response data).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis specification allows the information from these two sources to simultaneously contribute to\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eparameter estimation across models during an MCMC procedure.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe conducted a parameter recovery simulation study and a real data analysis to compare the\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eperformance of the new (hybrid) model with that of the original MGGUM.

This dissertation reconstructs the history of TECNO-ITINTEC, a museum under the Institute of Industrial Technology Research and Technical Standards (ITINTEC). Although ITINTEC was a public research institution created by the industrial reforms of the military government of Velasco Alvarado, the museum itself was the personal project of a group of Peruvian scientists who sought to replicate new international models of science communication. \u0026nbsp;The dissertation traces the museum\u2019s trajectory from its opening in 1979 until its closure in 1993, situating TECNO-ITINTEC within the broader political and economic transformations of late twentieth-century Peru. The museum navigated the developmental priorities of the Bela\u00fande government, adapted to the economic crisis of the Garc\u00eda administration, and ultimately succumbed to what I call \u201cbureaucratic dismantling\u201d during the neoliberal reforms of the Fujimori era. This dismantling was not the product of a single decision but rather the outcome of institutional neglect, budgetary erosion, the withdrawal of state support, and unfulfilled promises of privatization for scientific research and education. Drawing on oral history interviews, extensive archival research, and the analysis of newspapers, laws, and ministerial records, the dissertation reveals how shifting political regimes, economic constraints, and institutional reforms shaped the creation, survival, and demise of TECNO-ITINTEC. It offers critical insights into the fragility of scientific institutions and the contested role of science museums as mediators between science, politics, and society.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Committee Members are:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr.

This dissertation argues that online resale is better understood as a form of platform-mediated labor embedded within imperial surplus economies and colonial racial capitalism. It focuses on the imperial middle, between exploited labor at the point of production and the colonial geographies of discard, where resellers source, classify, aestheticize, and recirculate surplus goods through platforms such as Poshmark, eBay, and Depop.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDrawing on five years of mixed-methods ethnographic engagement, participatory arts-based research, and autohistoria-teor\u00eda, I examine how these conditions are lived and negotiated. I develop the concept of platformic torque to theorize how aesthetic, temporal, and regulatory pressures are organized through platform infrastructures and experienced differently across intersectional positions. I then analyze how resellers respond through automation, metric manipulation, rule negotiation, and fragile forms of collectivity.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EBridging critical HCI, feminist political economy, decolonial thought, and discard studies, this dissertation reframes online resale as a diagnostic site for understanding how platforms, surplus, and intersectionally differentiated labor are entangled within imperial formations of labor, consumption, and discard. Rather than romanticizing resistance, it shows how survival, complicity, and contestation coexist in secondhand markets, and how collective futures remain both imaginable and structurally fragile under colonial racial capitalism.\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ERelaboring Surplus: Social Reproduction and Everyday Resistance in Platformed Secondhand Economies\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Relaboring Surplus: Social Reproduction and Everyday Resistance in Platformed Secondhand Economies"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 13:30:35","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 13:31:41","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-05T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-05T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-05T11:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-05 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-05 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-05 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TSRB 217A","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689433":{"#nid":"689433","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Zhixin (Jack) Song","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIn partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDoctor of Philosophy in\u0026nbsp;Physics\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESchool of Physics\u0026nbsp;Thesis Dissertation Defense\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZhixin (Jack) Song\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Spencer Bryngelson, CSE, Georgia Institute of Technology (Advisor)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESolving Differential Equations on Quantum Computers\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDate: Monday April 13, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETime: 9:00 a.m.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation: Howey Physics Building, Room N201\/202\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZoom Link:\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/91272230097?pwd=eU4AkZyuaKgRhQcUZ7kfRe38BCPmpq.1\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/91272230097?pwd=eU4AkZyuaKgRhQcUZ7kfRe38BCPmpq.1\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee members\u003C\/strong\u003E:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Bryan Gard, CIPHER, Georgia Tech Research Institute\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Fenton Flavio, School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Brian Kennedy, School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Xiangyu Li, Physical and Computational Sciences, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EQuantum computing has emerged as a transformative computational paradigm, promising superpolynomial speedups for problems that remain intractable on classical hardware. One compelling application is the solution of differential equations, which underpin the modeling of many physical, chemical, and engineering systems but often incur prohibitive computational costs as problem dimensionality grows. This thesis investigates near-term and fault-tolerant quantum algorithms for solving partial differential equations, addressing important bottlenecks such as efficient state preparation through matrix-product-state approximation and readout through real-valued tomography. We develop and analyze end-to-end quantum workflows built upon quantum linear system algorithms (QLSAs) and the Linear Combination of Hamiltonian Simulation (LCHS) framework, which maps non-unitary dynamics onto a unitary dilation amenable to quantum simulation. We benchmark and validate the near-term quantum algorithms on real IBM quantum hardware. Although fault-tolerant quantum computers remain far from realization, we present resource estimates for fault-tolerant implementations targeting surface-code architectures, offering concrete guidance on the problem sizes and precision regimes in which quantum speedups over state-of-the-art classical solvers may become achievable.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESolving Differential Equations on Quantum Computers\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Solving Differential Equations on Quantum Computers"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 13:25:45","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 13:29:02","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-13T09:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-13T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-13T11:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-13 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-13 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-13 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Howey Physics Building, Room N201\/202","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689432":{"#nid":"689432","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Abhishek Vasisht Bhaskar","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETitle: Understanding and Improving Internet Censorship Measurement\u003Cbr\u003EDate: \u0026nbsp;April 17, 2026\u003Cbr\u003ETime: 11:00 AM \u2013 1:00 PM EDT\u003Cbr\u003ELocation (in-person): Coda C1003 Adair\u003Cbr\u003ELocation (virtual): https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/92611698229?pwd=ciDDnHWnqwXKfRny2kfDSC2uP8Y2z8.1\u0026amp;from=addon\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbhishek Vasisht Bhaskar\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPhD Candidate, Computer Science\u003Cbr\u003ESchool of Cybersecurity and Privacy\u003Cbr\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Paul Pearce (advisor) - School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Bailey - School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Frank Li - School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Alberto Dainotti - School of Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Specter - School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EInternet measurement enables researchers to study critical problems, such as botnets, vulnerabilities, and Internet censorship, at global scale. Prior work has largely focused on improving measurement scale and speed, with elements of reliability and correctness being largely neglected. In particular, censorship measurement has frequently observed non-determinism and inconsistency that has not been systematically explained. In this thesis, we develop empirical methods and systems to evaluate factors that influence censorship measurement results, showing that routing dynamics, packet parameters, measurement direction, and IP version all significantly influence censorship results.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe begin by showing that external DNS censorship measurement in China is directly impacted by Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing induced by packet header fields like source IP and port. We find that 37% of IPs across 56% of ASes exhibit changes in observed censorship, and magnitude of censorship differences can more than double based on part of the source IP, consistent with known router load balancing techniques. We then generalize this result globally, finding routing-induced variation across DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS in 17 of 21 countries studied. These differences arise from multiple sources, including intra-AS and inter-AS routing differences, path diversity to the same destination, and geographically non-uniform censorship deployment, demonstrating that the problem is not unique to China or a single protocol. Finally, we develop a unified measurement framework spanning inside-out and outside-in measurements over both IPv4 and IPv6, showing that remote measurements can observe disruption in 21 countries without requiring in-country resources, that IPv6 disruption is less prevalent than IPv4 though still present, and that routing- and parameter-induced variation persists across measurement direction and IP version.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll told, this thesis shows that Internet censorship measurement results are not only influenced by methodological choices, but also by seemingly benign network behaviors unrelated to censorship itself, such as routing dynamics and on-path behavior. Measurement direction, IP version, routing path, and packet construction can all influence observed results, leading to variation across measurements of the same destinations. We further show that censorship observed along a path toward a destination is not necessarily the same as censorship at the destination itself, as externally observed disruption can be introduced by on-path behavior. Taken together, these results establish the need for more rigorous, route-aware, and methodologically controlled approaches to censorship measurement, and provide concrete guidance for designing studies that are more reliable, consistent, and interpretable.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EUnderstanding and Improving Internet Censorship Measurement\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Understanding and Improving Internet Censorship Measurement"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 13:17:36","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 13:21:23","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-17T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-17T13:00:17-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-17T13:00:17-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-17 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-17 17:00:17","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-17 17:00:17","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Coda C1003 Adair","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689431":{"#nid":"689431","#data":{"type":"event","title":"MS Defense by Kevin Zhang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Kevin Zhang\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor: Dr. John Christian\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMilestone: MS Thesis Final Examination (Defense)\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDegree Program: Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETitle: Optimized Star Field Camera Calibration for Precision Optical Navigation\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: Calibrated cameras are essential for the use of vision navigation algorithms. Calibration of spacecraft optical instruments typically occur preflight, however mission experience has shown that calibration parameters change on orbit. Consequently, in-flight geometric camera calibration is a fundamental capability where precision navigation is demanded. Practically every mission relying on optical navigation calibrates cameras with star field images, opportunistically captured as mission operations allow. This practice neglects the quality of images collected, which is experimentally confirmed to yield less precise and stable calibrations. The non-uniform distribution of known stars can be exploited to maximize information provided in calibration images. An optimal design of experiments for actively sequencing star field images is formulated while considering operational pointing constraints. This principled approach minimizes time and data volume resources associated with capturing larger image sets. Calibrating cameras becomes cumbersome at wider field-of-views (FOV). Wider FOV cameras enable powerful methods such as terrain relative navigation onboard landers, but they suffer from severe, complex distortions. A pinhole camera model can be simultaneously estimated with attitude in the well-studied lost-in-space problem. Unfortunately, the pinhole model is a linear model only sufficient in characterizing narrow FOV cameras (typically less than 30 degrees) and must be complemented with a nonlinear lens distortion model. Current methods of characterizing and calibrating lens distortion tend to be manual and error prone. An automated framework is proposed to perform robust global star identification using coherent point drift registration. Then, a data-driven distortion model parameterization is selected using cross validation. These contributions reduce mission operator burden and ultimately minimize biases performing spacecraft optical navigation.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-10, 3:00-5:00pm\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Coda C1215\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. John Christian (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. E.

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) technologies provide large bandwidth supporting high data rates and improved sensing performance; however, maintaining reliable operation over long distances remains challenging for compact, low-power devices. Conventional low-frequency Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems cannot simultaneously provide long-range operation, high data throughput, and compact size. While mmWave backscatter platforms offer higher bandwidth and sensing capabilities, maintaining reliable operation from small devices across orientations remains difficult. Many existing solutions rely on bulky dielectric lenses, large phased arrays, or active transmitters, increasing complexity, cost, and power consumption. As a result, compact antenna and lens architectures are needed for reliable long-range operation while preserving ultra-low-power operation. This dissertation addresses these challenges through the development of broadbeam ultra-low-power mmWave identification (mmID) platforms enabling long-range detection, localization, communication, and energy harvesting. The proposed systems investigate antenna and lens architectures, including dielectric lens-enabled mmID platforms, harmonic backscatter systems, reconfigurable metasurface lenses, planar metalens-based devices, and scalable mmWave energy harvesting modules. These architectures improve signal visibility, maintain wide coverage, and enable sensing and communication while preserving compact size. Experimental prototypes were developed and characterized to validate the proposed systems, demonstrating ultra-long-range mmWave detection, wide angular coverage, multi-gigabit backscatter communication, and scalable mmWave energy harvesting, establishing practical design approaches for ultra-low-power mmWave sensing and communication platforms for next-generation IoT infrastructure and wireless sensing networks.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Broadbeam Ultra-Low-Power Millimeter-Wave Modules Enabling Next-Generation Ultra-Long-Range Localization, Communication, and Sensing Platforms  "}],"uid":"36804","created_gmt":"2026-04-02 20:37:00","changed_gmt":"2026-04-02 20:45:45","author":"jjones779","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-17T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-17T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-17T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-17 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-17 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-17 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 509, TSRB ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689427":{"#nid":"689427","#data":{"type":"event","title":"MS Defense by  Sung-Ting Chen","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESung-Ting Chen\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(Advisor: Prof. C.

In this work, a three-dimensional graphene foam is fabricated via mechanical foaming and freeze-drying to establish a continuous conductive framework. A compression-induced densification strategy is further introduced to systematically control filler loading while preserving structural integrity. The resulting graphene foam\/epoxy composites exhibit enhanced stiffness, reduced thermal expansion, and improved thermal conductivity compared to neat epoxy. Notably, despite similar porosity across different regions, variations in thermomechanical properties reveal the critical role of local microstructure. At higher filler loading, slight anisotropy in thermal transport emerges due to compression-induced structural alignment.

After a career of service, retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal had much to contemplate. He pondered his successes and failures, his beliefs and aspirations, and asked himself, Who am I, really? And more importantly, who have I become? When I die, how will I be measured? In the end, McChrystal came to a conclusion as simple as it was profound: the reality of who we are cannot be recorded in dates or accomplishments.

Current methods fail to balance capturing data complexity and result interpretability. This thesis presents three graph-based methods aimed at bridging the gap. First, Spatially Resolved Gene Neighborhood Network (SpaGNN) quantifies pairwise subcellular colocalization relationships among genes, producing spatially resolved features that outperform single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression in distinguishing similar cells. Second, 3-Dimensional Spatially Resolved Gene Neighborhood Network with Embedding (3D-SpaGNN-E) extends the SpaGNN pipeline to 3D spatial transcriptomics data and introduces a graph autoencoder to model relationships among subcellular regions, enabling the identification of cell-cell communication sites. The last part applies a graph attention network to characterize cellular neighborhoods in subtypes of Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s disease, learning a disease-relevant latent representation. Analysis of the latent space identified distinct cellular neighborhoods and gene expression associated with disease states. Together, these approaches represent a suite of graph-based frameworks for analyzing the spatial organization of biological samples while maintaining interpretability.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMachine Learning Enhanced Feature Extraction and Biomarker Identification from Spatial Transcriptomics Data\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Machine Learning Enhanced Feature Extraction and Biomarker Identification from Spatial Transcriptomics Data"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-02 18:27:17","changed_gmt":"2026-04-02 18:27:44","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-13T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-13T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-13T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-13 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-13 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Krone Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB), room 1005, Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta Seminar room (First floor CHOA Room)","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689413":{"#nid":"689413","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Biomedical Engineering Information Session and Tour","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003EThe session will start with a tour of the BME building.

This dissertation proposes a Responsible AI framework for clinical decision support systems, arguing that reliability, transparency, and actionability are not secondary features but core design requirements. The research is structured across three primary aims, beginning with an investigation into reliability in single-modality systems. Using audio-based respiratory screening, this work demonstrates how integrating confidence calibration and predictive uncertainty into AI pipelines ensures models communicate the limits of their own knowledge. The second phase extends this framework to multi-modal clinical data by investigating how representation choice and data fusion affect model robustness in sleep disorder assessment. By utilizing concept bottleneck models and knowledge-informed representations, this work aligns AI reasoning with human-meaningful clinical concepts to increase transparency. Finally, the research applies these responsible AI methods to surgical planning via an image-guided pipeline for 3D airway analysis in an orthognathic surgery population. This automated segmentation tool provides standardized, patient-specific metrics to evaluate postoperative remodeling at scale. Collectively, this research demonstrates that for AI to be safely integrated into healthcare, systems must move beyond \u0022black-box\u0022 predictions toward architectures that express uncertainty and provide interpretable evidence.

For instance, it experiences extreme bending when packaged into nucleosomes and undergoes strand separation (dehybridization) during transcription. Single-molecule assays offer a powerful approach to uncover the behavior of DNA during these processes. This dissertation presents two investigations utilizing single-molecule techniques to explore the anisotropic bending of DNA and the effects of overhangs on dehybridization kinetics.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first investigation examines the extreme bending mechanics of DNA by directly probing the anisotropic nature of DNA minicircles through the detection of poloidal bias. We designed an assay using atomic force microscopy to map the orientation of these minicircles. By precisely monitoring the positions of protein-bound markers, we directly visualized their poloidal orientation and successfully demonstrated a sequence-dependent poloidal bias in 105 bp minicircles. Our findings were further corroborated by coarse-grained simulations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe second investigation probes the effects of overhangs on the dehybridization kinetics of a DNA probe. Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer, we found that the terminal base of the overhang can dictate dehybridization via base stacking. Furthermore, we identified a length-dependent relationship between the overhang and duplex stability, showing that shorter overhangs suppress dehybridization. We also found that when the overhang can form a base pair with itself, the overall stability of the bound DNA probe is significantly enhanced.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EInvestigating poloidal bias in DNA minicircles and overhang influence on DNA dehybridization\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Investigating poloidal bias in DNA minicircles and overhang influence on DNA dehybridization"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-02 13:30:51","changed_gmt":"2026-04-02 13:31:27","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-14T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-14T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-14T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-14 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-14 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-14 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":" Howey Physics Building, Room N110","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689380":{"#nid":"689380","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Kayla Uleah Evans","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIgnorance by Design: How Institutional Infrastructures Produce and Foreclose Decision Recognition in Interdisciplinary AI Research\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EKayla Uleah Evans\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Student in Human-Centered Computing\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDate: Monday, April 6, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETime: 9:00-10:00 AM (public portion)\u0026nbsp;| 9:00 AM-12:00 PM (full)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocations: \u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/93196219384?pwd=1CoV2ENEam6GE8z0H70bIPfkfvFzgi.1\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/93196219384?pwd=1CoV2ENEam6GE8z0H70bIPfkfvFzgi.1\u0022\u003EZoom\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026amp; TSRB 217B\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EZoom instructions: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/93196219384?pwd=1CoV2ENEam6GE8z0H70bIPfkfvFzgi.1\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/93196219384?pwd=1CoV2ENEam6GE8z0H70bIPfkfvFzgi.1\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERoom instructions: exit elevator, turn left, look to your right, walk toward glass-walled room\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAcademic AI research has not undergone the infrastructural redesign that other fields developed in response to crises of accountability (e.g., IRBs in medicine, environmental impact assessments in policy, disclosure requirements in finance).

The repeated failure of therapies targeting amyloid beta (A\u03b2) underscores the complexity of the disease and has shifted attention toward neuroinflammatory mechanisms, particularly the role of microglia. Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) is the predominant regulator of microglial survival and function in the brain and has been widely used as a tool to deplete microglia. Despite its established role in microglial biology, the mechanisms by which AD pathology alters CSF1R signaling and its downstream consequences for microglial behavior remain poorly understood. Here, I investigated whether the AD microenvironment reshapes CSF1R-mediated signaling in a context-dependent manner and whether this transformation can be therapeutically exploited. Proteomic analysis of postmortem human AD brain tissue revealed that CSF1R co-expressed protein networks are completely distinct from those of age-matched controls, with disease-associated networks enriched for neurodegeneration and inflammatory pathways. Across multiple in vitro systems, A\u03b2 pre-exposure consistently reprogrammed CSF1R signaling, driving sustained MAPK-ERK activation, suppression of Akt-mTOR, and site-specific transformation of CSF1R tyrosine phosphorylation. Notably, CSF1-induced ERK hyperactivation was identified as a primary driver of impaired microglial phagocytosis in the A\u03b2-primed state, establishing a direct mechanistic link between disease-driven CSF1R rewiring and microglial dysfunction. In vivo, CSF1R inhibition with BLZ945 in 5xFAD mice promoted microglial activation, normalized inflammatory proteomic signatures, and fully restored post-synaptic density after just 6 daily doses, effects entirely absent in wild-type animals. These findings demonstrate that CSF1R is not a static on-off switch for microglial activation, but a context-dependent signaling hub whose output is fundamentally shaped by the disease microenvironment. A deeper understanding of how AD pathology transforms CSF1R signaling and downstream microglial function will be essential for developing more targeted and effective therapeutic approaches for AD.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBioE PhD Defense Presentation- \u0026nbsp;\u0022Rewiring CSF1R signaling in Alzheimer\u2019s disease\u0022 -Sara Bitarafan\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Rewiring CSF1R signaling in Alzheimer\u2019s disease\u0022"}],"uid":"27917","created_gmt":"2026-04-02 13:13:28","changed_gmt":"2026-04-02 13:14:31","author":"Laura Paige","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-02T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-09T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-09T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-02 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-09 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-09 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"1128 IBB","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"65448","name":"Bioengineering Graduate Program"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"172056","name":"go-BioE"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689377":{"#nid":"689377","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Reflection on Ireland\u0027s Unique Geopolitical Position Conversation and Q\u0026A","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech community members are invited to attend a conversation and Q\u0026amp;A with Rossa Fanning, Attorney General of Ireland, on \u0022Reflections of Ireland\u0027s Unique Geopolitical Position.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegistration:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EPlease email \u003Cstrong\u003EEventsAtlanta@dfa.ie\u003C\/strong\u003E to register.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA conversation and Q\u0026amp;A with Rosa Fanning, Attorney General of Ireland.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A conversation and Q\u0026A with Rosa Fanning, Attorney General of Ireland."}],"uid":"36675","created_gmt":"2026-04-02 12:31:16","changed_gmt":"2026-04-02 12:44:01","author":"lyarbrough30","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-08T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-08T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-08T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-08 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-08 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-08 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Exhibition Hall, Summer Hill Room","extras":[],"hg_media":{"679827":{"id":"679827","type":"image","title":"GT---Rossa-Fanning-Event-Flyer.png","body":null,"created":"1775133694","gmt_created":"2026-04-02 12:41:34","changed":"1775133694","gmt_changed":"2026-04-02 12:41:34","alt":"flyer inviting GT community to attend conversation and Q\u0026A event with the attorney general of ireland","file":{"fid":"264031","name":"GT---Rossa-Fanning-Event-Flyer.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/04\/02\/GT---Rossa-Fanning-Event-Flyer.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/04\/02\/GT---Rossa-Fanning-Event-Flyer.png","mime":"image\/png","size":4967927,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/04\/02\/GT---Rossa-Fanning-Event-Flyer.png?itok=LEW4XJhV"}}},"media_ids":["679827"],"groups":[{"id":"1297","name":"Office of International Education"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"194977","name":"Ireland, Q\u0026A"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"194683","name":"Talk"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:EventsAtlanta@dfa.ie\u0022\u003EEventsAtlanta@dfa.ie\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689376":{"#nid":"689376","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Exploring Microsoft Copilot Chat","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin us for a recurring training series that highlights what is currently available in Copilot Chat and how its capabilities continue to expand.

Specifically, I will focus on two visual properties: one is used in the detection of edges, the other is relevant when our eyes track moving objects. To explain the origin of these properties, simple mathematical ideas were first developed in idealized settings.

In this talk, I will focus on \u0022observable\u0022 events, equating observability with positive Lebesgue measure. From this observational viewpoint, \u0022typical\u0022 means typical with respect to Lebesgue measure. This leads immediately to issues for attractors, where all invariant measures are singular. I will present highlights of developments in smooth ergodic theory that address these questions. The theory of physical and SRB measures applies to dynamical systems that are deterministic as well as random, in finite and infinite dimensions (where observability has to be interpreted differently). This body of ideas argue in favor of convergence of ergodic averages for typical orbits. But the picture is a little more complicated: In the last part of the talk, I will discuss some recent work that shows that in many natural settings (e.g. reaction networks), it is also typical for ergodic averages to fluctuate in perpetuity due to heteroclinic-like behavior.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch5\u003EAbout the Speaker\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELai-Sang Young is a Professor of Mathematics and Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science at the Courant Institute, New York University.

Despite these competitive efficiencies, the road to commercialization of perovskite solar cells is limited by poor long-term stability that can be tied to the LHP crystal structure. Varying strategies, including compositional engineering and interfacial modifications, have been explored to improve stability, but further progress relies on understanding the fundamental mechanisms driving degradation. This dissertation addresses this challenge by investigating chemistry-structure-property-performance relationships in lead halide perovskites using advanced characterization techniques.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first chapter explores the role of composition on LHP stability as a function of annealing temperature. While most high-performing solar cells use mixed-cation, mixed-halide compositions, fundamental studies on phase transformations often fail to account for this complexity. This work demonstrates that small compositional changes significantly affect phase transformations as a function of annealing temperature, showing that mixed-cation, mixed-halide phase transformations cannot be approximated by linear interpolation between pure species. Building on this understanding, the second part of this dissertation engineers the crystallization of complex compositions using lattice matching. This chapter expands the role of lattice matching beyond structural templating, demonstrating its ability to homogenize phase segregation, reduce ion migration, and improve optoelectronic film quality, setting the stage for future device integration. Finally, the third part of this dissertation systematically investigates how ligand-ligand interactions affect crystallization, phase segregation, and dimensionality in lower dimensional perovskites. This work provides key fundamental knowledge on lower-dimensional perovskite crystallization, enabling future studies of phase-segregated systems, the formation of 2D\/3D heterostructures, and the relationship between structure and environmental stability.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUsing advanced characterization, this dissertation proposes mechanisms that link chemistry, structure, and properties across length scales, considering defect formation, strain, phase segregation, ion migration, and phase transformations.

First, we introduce specialized representations for regimes where standard volumetric methods are insufficient, including a codimensional SPH method for thin fluid films and a sub-grid interface tracking approach on triangle meshes, enabling accurate and efficient simulation with strong geometric fidelity and mass conservation. Next, we present a fully GPU-resident adaptive simulation framework for large-scale three-dimensional flows, combining an efficient octree data structure, a matrix-free algebraic multigrid solver, and a hybrid flow-map transport scheme to capture rich vortical structures on adaptive grids. Finally, we demonstrate that the proposed system achieves effective resolutions of hundreds of millions of cells on a single GPU and produces high-fidelity simulations with significantly enhanced vortical detail. These results show that combining specialized representations with adaptive GPU algorithms provides an effective approach to simulating multiscale fluid phenomena.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EHigh-Performance Multiscale Fluid Simulation: GPU-Based Representations, Solvers, and Adaptive Algorithms\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"High-Performance Multiscale Fluid Simulation: GPU-Based Representations, Solvers, and Adaptive Algorithms"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-01 19:52:06","changed_gmt":"2026-04-01 19:52:38","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-17T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-17T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-17T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-17 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-17 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-17 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"CODA C0908 Home Park","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689371":{"#nid":"689371","#data":{"type":"event","title":"2026 Roger P.

However, their long-term performance in oxidizing environments is strongly influenced by the type of oxide scale formed at the surface. While it is known that the addition of niobium (Nb) significantly affects the oxidation kinetics and oxide morphology of Zr alloys, the influence of Nb concentrations above 5 at.% on these mechanisms remains poorly understood. The transition in oxide chemistry\u2014from highly protective Zr-rich oxides (such as ZrO\u2082) to potentially rapid-oxidizing Nb-rich oxides (such as Nb\u2082O\u2085)\u2014creates complex kinetic behaviors depending on the environment. The problem presented here is to systematically determine how varying Nb concentrations dictate the oxidation kinetics and scale protectiveness of Zr-Nb binary alloys when exposed to both air and steam-containing environments.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002 This study aims to quantitatively compare and elucidate the oxidation mechanisms of Zr-Nb alloys across a full compositional range at elevated temperatures (300\u2013500 \u00b0C). To accomplish this goal, several objectives must be met. First, characterizing the initial microstructure and phases of the as-formed, arc-melted alloys. Next, determining the oxidation kinetics, rate constants, and activation energies through long-term thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in both air and steam-containing environments. Then, characterizing the resulting oxide scale structure, phase composition, and elemental distribution using post-oxidation analytical techniques such as XRD and SEM\/EDS. Finally, correlating these experimental findings with thermodynamic predictions to propose a comprehensive oxidation mechanism for the entire range of Zr-Nb binary alloys.

Using RNA- and DNA-sequencing, we set out to understand how \u003Cem\u003EC. glabrata\u003C\/em\u003E adapts to different host niches by formulating media to simulate different host environments. First, I measured the genome-wide transcriptional response of lab strain ATCC 2001 over a 48-hour time course in artificial saliva (AS), artificial urine (AU) and in two standard laboratory media, Synthetic Complete (SC) and Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 (RPMI). Expression profiles and growth parameters differed markedly across conditions. Expression profiles normalized to SC-cultured yeast showed that cells cultured in AS induce proteostasis pathways, while cells cultured in AU downregulate this function. AU- and RPMI-cultured cells upregulate genes in nitrogen metabolism and metabolite biosynthesis, while the latter which is down-regulated in AS. RNA-Seq also revealed condition-specific activation of genes related to drug resistance and virulence. Next, five-fold replicated evolution experiments were carried out in AS, AU and SC for 200 generations starting from a common ancestor, ATCC 2001. Whole-genome, whole population sequencing performed at 50 generation intervals showed that AS- and AU-evolved populations accumulated different sets of de novo mutations, especially in transcription factors and ubiquitin\/proteasome pathways, whereas SC-evolved populations accumulated comparatively few mutations. Condition-specific evolutionary trajectories were correlated with condition-specific fitness gains, which were most pronounced in AU. Together, our findings demonstrate that the chemistry of simulated host niches influences \u003Cem\u003EC. glabrata\u003C\/em\u003E\u2019s physiology and evolutionary dynamics. They also suggest that niche-specific adaptation may influence antifungal susceptibility and disease severity \u003Cem\u003Ein vivo\u003C\/em\u003E. More broadly, this work highlights the importance of considering host-environment context when understanding how infections behave and predicting evolutionary outcomes in opportunistic pathogens.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPHYSIOLOGICAL AND GENOMIC ADAPTATION OF CANDIDA GLABRATA TO HOST-ASSOCIATED NICHES AND STANDARD LAB MEDIA\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"PHYSIOLOGICAL AND GENOMIC ADAPTATION OF CANDIDA GLABRATA TO HOST-ASSOCIATED NICHES AND STANDARD LAB MEDIA  "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-01 18:26:06","changed_gmt":"2026-04-01 18:26:39","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-15T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-15T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-15T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-15 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-15 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-15 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB Krone, Conference Room: 4026","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689355":{"#nid":"689355","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Mobility Madness Photo Exhibition","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJoin the Georgia Tech community on Monday, April 13 for the \u003Cem\u003EMobility Madness Photo Exhibition\u003C\/em\u003E, held in the lobby of the Ferst Center for the Arts as part of Tech Arts Fest.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECo-organized by Rounaq Basu, Assistant Professor in the School of City and Regional Planning, and Stephanie Selvick from Belonging and Student Support, this exhibition highlights the work of student \u201ccampus placemakers.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThrough photography, the exhibit explores how students envision a more sustainable, safe, and enjoyable campus environment.

The division of labor and life history trade-offs are essential to this transition, and these aspects shape how a novel multicellular organism allocates resources between growth, structural maintenance, and reproduction. Evolved multicellular yeast from the Multicellularity Long-Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) have been exposed to size-based selective pressure for the last decade, resulting in a range of lineages with differing morphologies, growth rates, and reproductive methods. Early microscopic lineages tend to fracture into evenly sized propagules; however, this physically scaffolded method becomes restricted in subsequent lineages as cells become elongated and entangled \u2014 a biophysical innovation that greatly increases structural toughness but renders the fracture-based reproduction mechanism of the early lineages increasingly rare and costly.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo resolve this reproductive bottleneck, I hypothesize that macroscopic MuLTEE lineages have utilized programmed cell death, which severs cell connections from unentangled regions to release small propagules at the cost of cluster mass. Cluster size distributions display a dual peak in the T1000 lineage, indicating that these large, evolved clusters release numerous small propagules. Additionally, cell death measurements reveal increased death rates in evolved lineages, suggesting macroscopic lineages developed an intentional apoptosis-mediated reproductive mechanism. Finally, mixed competitive experiments reveal\u0026nbsp; propagules survive size-based selection and increase in population-level biomass proportions despite being selected against.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETogether, these findings support the interpretation that apoptosis-mediated propagule production in macroscopic MuLTEE lineages is an adaptive life history innovation. Large, entangled clusters invest heavily in somatic structure to maximize settling performance while generating many small propagules whose collective fitness contribution outweighs their individual disadvantage under selection. This work provides the first direct experimental evidence that this reproductive strategy confers a quantifiable fitness advantage in the MuLTEE and contributes to a broader understanding of how life history trade-offs between offspring quantity and survival shape the early evolution of multicellular complexity.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u201cLife Cycle Evolution in Long Term Multicellularity Experiment\u201d\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cLife Cycle Evolution in Long Term Multicellularity Experiment\u201d"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-01 16:06:24","changed_gmt":"2026-04-01 16:07:01","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-15T13:30:53-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-15T15:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-15T15:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-15 17:30:53","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-15 19:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-15 19:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Cherry Emerson 301A","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689340":{"#nid":"689340","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Passover Lunch","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin Hillel at Georgia Tech for a Kosher for Passover Lunch!\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin Hillel at Georgia Tech for a Kosher for Passover Lunch!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Join Hillel at Georgia Tech for a Kosher for Passover Lunch!"}],"uid":"36418","created_gmt":"2026-04-01 16:03:44","changed_gmt":"2026-04-01 16:04:46","author":"sgagliano3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-08T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-08T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-08T12:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-08 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-08 16:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-08 16:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Highlands Room, John Lewis Student Center","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hillelatgt\/","title":"Hillel at Georgia Tech"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jnix39@gatech.edu\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJaclyn Nix\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
