Low thrust electric propulsion offers substantial propellant savings for such a trajectory. However, designing such transfers is computationally expensive, and there is insufficient real data from real missions for study. Formal optimization techniques for multi revolution spiral trajectories often take hours per trajectory and require comprehensive manual initial guess calculations. This makes it very difficult to explore the design space iteratively in the preliminary mission design stage, where engineers need to evaluate hundreds to thousands of combinations of candidate parameters. Machine learning surrogate models, however, offer a promising approximation that can deliver mission feasibility predictions in milliseconds rather than hours after training. Despite its potential, the use of machine learning surrogates for low thrust spiral Earth to Moon trajectories has not been investigated due to the spectral bias nature of these trajectories. Therefore, several key questions remain unanswered: Which state representation makes the surrogate model trainable? When will a physics informed neural network behave better than a purely data driven one, and can a single trained model actually be used in preliminary mission design? This thesis addresses these gaps by using a heuristic trajectory dataset in modified equinoctial elements and systematically comparing purely data driven and physics informed neural networks. It also investigates methods to improve speed and accuracy, such as perigee sampling and architecture that applies Fourier features to oscillatory channels. Preliminary findings indicate that the MEE formulation decreases the effect of spectral bias and provides trainable data for the neural network. Perigee based sampling significantly improves accuracy and training time, as it also reduces the effect of spectral bias. On clean data, the physics informed neural network reduces accuracy, but under noise, it matches the accuracy of the purely data driven network while yielding far more physically consistent predictions. The results show that a neural network surrogate model can be used to investigate the design space in milliseconds for preliminary mission design.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-05-08, 09:00 - 11:00 am\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\u003EProf. Graeme Kennedy , School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Tristan Sarton du Jonchay , School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESurrogate Modeling for Low Thrust Earth to Moon Spiral Trajectory Design and Preliminary Mission Feasibility Assessment\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Surrogate Modeling for Low Thrust Earth to Moon Spiral Trajectory Design and Preliminary Mission Feasibility Assessment"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-23 18:32:08","changed_gmt":"2026-04-23 18:32:43","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-08T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-08T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-08T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-08 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-08 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-08 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Collaborative Visualization Environment (CoVE) Weber SST II","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166866","name":"MS 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":""}},"689971":{"#nid":"689971","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Yohan Auguste","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Yohan Auguste\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: Development of A Simulator Based Training Framework for Autorotation Safety Improvements\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: Commercial aviation in the U.S has experienced decades of steadily improving safety standards, culminating in an extremely safe operation today. General Aviation (GA) has also seen safety improvements; however, accident rates remain significantly higher than those observed in commercial aviation. Within GA, powerplant failure accidents remain a major concern, ranking as the second highest cause of fatalities. In rotorcraft operations in particular, emergency procedures following engine failure\u2014specifically autorotation\u2014present pilots with challenging, high-workload situations characterized by limited time and constrained decision-making options. Autorotation-related mishaps account for a substantial portion of rotorcraft incidents, representing nearly one-third of all accidents. While pilot training is a critical requirement for improving safety outcomes, autorotation training itself carries inherent risk, with training-related accidents accounting for approximately 40% of all autorotation accidents. This combination of high training risk and the need for thorough skill development highlights the necessity for alternative training approaches. Simulator-based training programs offer a viable solution; however, to be effective, a structured simulator training framework must be developed. A critical component of such a framework is the provision of objective assessment criteria and integrated feedback systems to enable efficient training and ensure that performance targets are consistently achieved. This thesis proposes a data-driven approach to support the development of assessment criteria for each phase of autorotation, focusing on the evaluation of critical pilot performance indicators that are not adequately addressed in current training standards or that rely on inconsistent, or subjective judgment calls. Additionally, an integrated feedback mechanism is proposed to enhance training efficiency and reinforce correct pilot responses. Together these proposals enable the implementation of the autorotation training framework by providing the key missing components for proper assessment and feedback that are required for a successful simulator training program.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-05-15, 2 PM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: CoVE Weber SST II\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Marilyn Smith, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Daniel Schrage, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Alexia Payan, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EMr. Charles Johnson, FAA\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDevelopment of A Simulator Based Training Framework for Autorotation Safety Improvements\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Development of A Simulator Based Training Framework for Autorotation Safety Improvements"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-23 15:51:54","changed_gmt":"2026-04-23 15:51:54","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-30T11:44:49-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-30T12:44:49-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-30T12:44:49-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-30 15:44:49","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-30 16:44:49","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-30 16:44:49","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"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":""}},"689970":{"#nid":"689970","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Jeremiah C.

Lean premixed prevaporized (LPP) combustors have seen growing interest in aeronautical combustion as the increased combustor inlet temperatures associated with future compact core and potential civil supersonic engines can improve vaporization of liquid fuels and reduce emissions. However, a drawback of LPP combustion is the susceptibility to lean blowoff. To improve stability of the combustor, a multi-element configuration featuring a richer, more stable pilot flame is often employed. Yet further understanding of the interaction between the pilot and leaner-burning main flames, along with the stability-emission tradeoff of that interaction, is not well understood. This work aims to advance understanding of pilot-main interactions through both a fundamental and a practical perspective, including optimization of a supersonic LPP combustor operating a flight relevant conditions. To conduct this research, an LPP combustor featuring a central partially-premixed pilot flame surrounded by four LPP main flames has been developed and fabricated within the Georgia Tech Combustion Lab. Initial testing of the combustor demonstrated reductions in NOx and nvPM over conventional aeronautical combustors. In-depth analysis revealed the blowoff propensity of the LPP main flames at a given global fuel-air ratio was insensitive to the pilot flame equivalence ratio; the added stability of the slightly richer main flames appeared to offset any reduced effectiveness of a leaner, potentially less stabilizing pilot flame. Reduction of the pilot flame equivalence ratio resulted in a decrease in NOx emissions, however with diminishing returns. Thus, this configuration of an LPP combustor can achieve reduced emissions with no impact to stability by operating with a leaner pilot. However, the overall stability limits of the combustor, particularly with respect to lean blowoff, were worse than similar geometries in literature. It is expected that these stability limits can be improved with further optimization of the pilot-main interaction. For fundamental study of pilot-main interactions, along with advancement of CH PLIF, a second simplified geometry combustor has been developed. The combustor features identical dome face geometry to the LPP combustor, with the exception of containing only a single main flame. Modification to the pilot design allows for variation of critical parameters, such as the geometric swirl number and swirler divergence angle. Future research includes a preliminary test campaign on the single main combustor. CH PLIF will be used to quantify the impact of critical pilot parameters on the stability of the main flame, along with providing insight into the driving physics of the interaction. Blowoff data is to be collected at atmospheric and elevated pressures to provide a robust test matrix for characterizing the impact of a pilot flame while enabling CH PLIF for future testing in the LPP combustor. Following the single main combustor testing, the full LPP combustor will again be operated at conditions akin to cruise of a civil supersonic combustor. CH PLIF will be leveraged to characterize turbulent flame structure and local extinction. Direct gaseous emission sampling will provide metrics for characterizing combustor performance and emissions. Blowoff limits will be identified through OH and CH PLIF. Multiple pilot configurations will be explored, and the impact on stability and emissions will be studied. Ultimately, understanding of pilot-main interactions will be advanced, enabling optimization of an LPP combustor.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-27, 1:00 PM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: MK-317\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Adam Steinberg (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Jerry Seitzman, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Benjamin Emerson, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Conner Godbold, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EOptimization of Lean Premixed Prevaporized Combustion Through Pilot-Main Interaction\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Optimization of Lean Premixed Prevaporized Combustion Through Pilot-Main Interaction"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-23 15:39:23","changed_gmt":"2026-04-23 15:40:00","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-27T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-27T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-27T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-27 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-27 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-27 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MK-317","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":""}},"689969":{"#nid":"689969","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Voices of the Hive ","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EVoices of the Hive brings the Tech community together through TED-style narratives of belonging, resilience, and connection.

allocation is a central problem in theoretical computer science, operations research, and economics. In a resource allocation problem, a platform must design efficient algorithms to assign limited resources to participating agents under uncertainty, aiming to maximize either the total social welfare or the total revenue.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAmong the various algorithms for resource allocation, pricing algorithms are one of the most common ways to distribute resources due to its simplicity. Theoretically, pricing algorithms can be modeled as a system in which a platform sets prices for resources, while participating agents with valuations drawn from underlying distributions make greedy decisions with respect to the prices. However, these distributions are typically unknown to the platform and must therefore be learned, either from limited offline data or through real-time interactions with agents.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETraditional approaches to learning in pricing algorithms often assume access to a large number of samples from each agent. In many real-world markets, however, the available information is sparse, noisy, or indirect. This raises a fundamental question: how can we learn effective pricing algorithms under such limited information constraints?\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this thesis, I address this question by studying the learnability of resource allocation algorithms under three highly restrictive information models:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E1.

The first two studies characterize community perceptions of mobile and ubiquitous health technologies for diabetic foot self-management. The third study explores how medical mistrust should alter our approach to designing these technologies with community members. The proposed fourth study will explore how community members (both in city and rural contexts) engage in health information seeking and conceptualize the potential role of large language models for health.

Coal-fired power plant wastewaters are a primary source of Se contamination, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set a stringent discharge limit of 5 \u03bcg\/L for freshwater systems. Removing Se from these wastewaters is technically challenging because Se exists at trace concentrations alongside extreme competing sulfate concentrations. Ion exchange using commercially available strong-base anion-exchange resins offers a promising approach, yet its deployment is hindered by fundamental knowledge gaps and practical challenges, including insufficient mechanistic understanding, limited evaluation under real industrial conditions, and the absence of effective regeneration protocols for complex matrices.In this context, the dissertation presented here develops and evaluates an ion-exchange-based process using the commercial resin AmberLite IRA-900 for effective and sustainable Se removal from aqueous solutions. The work progresses through three interconnected tasks. The first task establishes a comprehensive understanding of Se oxyanion equilibrium, kinetics, and competitive interactions on IRA-900, supported by the mechanistic equilibrium and kinetic models that describe the ion-exchange behavior. The second task advances the evaluation to continuous-flow fixed-bed operations across increasingly complex aqueous matrices, from simulated wastewaters to real industrial leachate, and explores an integrated treatment strategy combining crystallization pretreatment with ion exchange polishing. The third task addresses resin regeneration, developing and validating a novel two-step protocol that overcomes the limitations of conventional approaches in complex industrial matrices. Together, these tasks establish a comprehensive scientific framework that bridges fundamental ion-exchange principles with practical process development, advancing the knowledge base needed for the effective treatment of Se-contaminated industrial wastewaters.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIon Exchange for the Capture of Aqueous Selenium Oxyanions\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Ion Exchange for the Capture of Aqueous Selenium Oxyanions"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-23 12:04:00","changed_gmt":"2026-04-23 12:04:34","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":"2026-05-05T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-05T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-05 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-05 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-05 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 4222, Price Gilbert Memorial Library ","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":""}},"689960":{"#nid":"689960","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Sichen Jin","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u003C\/strong\u003E \u003Cem\u003EBridging Spatial and Social Network Analysis through Visual Analytics\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Monday, May 11, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;4:30\u20136:30 PM Eastern time (U.S.)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003ETechnology Square Research Building (\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.app.goo.gl%2Fi8yusVJT3cryf5yC7\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cd28854b9c817485399e808dea08fd6ff%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639124736818490949%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=eIFtmA4rwcYB3Eut2yHKkrW5ucEP8uZjQ%2BIJmsU1ggo%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/i8yusVJT3cryf5yC7\u0022\u003ETSRB\u003C\/a\u003E)\u0026nbsp;Room 334 (VIS Lab)\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVirtual Meeting (hybrid):\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F6902674214%3Fpwd%3DWXgrZ1RkOVlhaWhUci83R1h0UER1QT09\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cd28854b9c817485399e808dea08fd6ff%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639124736818531092%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=mhTF1qaUXjqKjhd1b0WcPCiaCFcLJzvrgWGDg9JjO60%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/6902674214?pwd=WXgrZ1RkOVlhaWhUci83R1h0UER1QT09\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESichen Jin\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Candidate in Computer Science\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\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Clio Andris (Advisor) - School of Interactive Computing, School of City \u0026amp;

Spatial social network analysis (SSNA) requires methods from both social network analysis (SNA) and geographic information systems (GIS), with applications in domains such as criminal network investigation, geosocial science, epidemiology, transportation and mobility analysis, urban planning, and location-based services. However, existing tools and workflows remain fragmented: SNA often ignores the influence of underlying geographic context, while GIS tools lack support for modeling relational structures. As a result, analysts often rely on disconnected pipelines that hinder effective SSNA.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis dissertation addresses these challenges by investigating how visual analytics can bridge SNA and GIS for integrated SSNA through design studies, long-term empirical evaluation, and pedagogical implementation. These research goals and contributions are organized into four main thrusts:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(1) \u003Cstrong\u003EA visual analytics system for integrated SSNA.\u003C\/strong\u003E We present SNoMaN, an interactive visual analytic system that supports simultaneous exploration of network and geospatial contexts through coordinated views, interactions, and dynamically computed spatial\u2013network metrics. The system enables users to examine how spatial distributions relate to network structures, such as identifying whether densely connected communities are geographically clustered or dispersed. It also provides interactive visualizations for exploring relationships between geographic metrics (e.g., Euclidean distance, spatial dispersion, and average connection distance) and network metrics (e.g., degree, betweenness and closeness centralities, network density, and shortest path length), as well as for identifying anomalies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(2) \u003Cstrong\u003EUncovering interdisciplinary needs and challenges.\u003C\/strong\u003E We conducted a workshop-based study using SNoMaN as a design probe with researchers from SNA and GIS backgrounds. The findings reveal both the value of visual analytics as a boundary object for cross-disciplinary collaboration and key sources of science friction, including differences in terminology, analytical expectations, and familiarity with spatial versus network concepts. These insights informed iterative refinement of the system.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(3) \u003Cstrong\u003EEmpirical evaluations of integrated SSNA.\u003C\/strong\u003E Building on iterative refinements of the system, we evaluated SNoMaN through longitudinal case studies with 12 domain experts using real-world datasets across diverse application domains. Over multiple sessions spanning several months, the results demonstrate that SNoMaN effectively supports exploratory spatial data analysis, hypothesis generation, and insight discovery. At the same time, the study highlights limitations related to transparency and trust in computed metrics, suggesting the need for improved interpretability and interoperability with programmable tools.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(4) \u003Cstrong\u003ESSNA teaching modules using visual analytics.\u003C\/strong\u003E We developed a learner-centered SSNA teaching module built around SNoMaN, designed to lower barriers to interdisciplinary learning across SNA and GIS. The curriculum was implemented across eight universities in multiple disciplines and evaluated through instructor observations, student engagement, and learning outcomes, leading to insights for broader interdisciplinary education.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOverall, this work shows that integrating geographic and network perspectives through visual analytics enables new forms of reasoning about SSNs that are difficult to achieve with fragmented workflows. By combining design study, empirical evaluation, and pedagogical contributions, this dissertation contributed to the use of visual analytics for interdisciplinary SNA and GIS analysis and supports broader adoption of SSNA in both research and education.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EBridging Spatial and Social Network Analysis through Visual Analytics\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Bridging Spatial and Social Network Analysis through Visual Analytics"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-23 12:00:25","changed_gmt":"2026-04-23 12:02:21","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-11T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-11T18:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-11T18:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-11 20:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-11 22:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-11 22:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":" Technology Square Research Building (TSRB) Room 334 (VIS Lab) ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689959":{"#nid":"689959","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Education Abroad Fair","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Education Abroad Fair is a premier opportunity for Georgia Tech students to engage directly with the people behind Tech\u2019s education abroad programs.

This problem is motivated by applications in ride-sharing and freight transportation marketplaces. We study the asymptotic properties of two widely used policies, batching and greedy, by analyzing a single-pair case and then converting to the general counterpart using a fluid relaxation and randomization. We also extend our model to an impatient setting in which each unmatched node leaves at the end of each period with a type-dependent probability. We show that the results for the two policies still hold under different assumptions about the nodes\u0027 patience. Finally, we conduct a computational study simulating freight transportation and ride-sharing marketplaces to assess the empirical effectiveness of the policies. Our results suggest that managers can achieve near-optimal performance by using greedy or batching policies, with only a reasonably small maximum waiting time guarantee, and even in the presence of potentially impatient nodes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EChapter 3 studies a network design problem with service time guarantees at industrial scale, motivated by the parcel delivery industry. This tactical service network design problem determines primary paths and delivery schedules for packages to minimize transportation and handling costs while ensuring committed service times. To construct a solution for a real-world instance with over 1,000 nodes, one million arcs, and 40,000 commodities, we propose a recursive graph partitioning and batching method. This method partitions the network into smaller regions and solves the problem for each region, considering only commodities whose origin and destination are in the same region. For commodities crossing regions, we first determine an appropriate sub-network, then solve a restricted model on this sub-network. To handle the large number of commodities, we divide these into batches based on schedule slack (intuitively, how flexibly a commodity can be scheduled) and solve the problem sequentially over each batch. Finally, we reoptimize commodities in low-utilization trailers. We demonstrate the scalability and efficiency of our approach through computational studies on real-world instances from an industry partner. Our method finds high-quality solutions after several hours of computing time, while a commercial solver is unable to even build a model for a much smaller instance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EChapter 4 studies an inventory distribution problem for e-commerce supply chains. Despite extensive research on e-commerce supply chain optimization, some operational constraints remain underexplored. One critical factor is case-breaking at warehouses, where goods shipped in large quantities (case-packs) are disaggregated into individual units to meet retailers\u2019 preference for small, frequent replenishments. Limited processing capacity may prevent all cases from being broken upstream, making it important to decide which cases to disaggregate and how to distribute both individual units and intact cases. Motivated by this, we study a case-pack allocation problem with case-breaking capacity constraints. Assuming deterministic warehouse inventory and target inventory levels at retailers, we optimize a concave, nondecreasing surrogate objective capturing product urgency, current inventory, and expected demand.

Despite these\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eadvantages, conventional SIPs typically rely on petroleum-based foam cores and wood composites bonded with formaldehyde-based adhesives, which raise environmental and health concerns. The development of sustainable alternatives is therefore important for reducing dependence on fossil derived materials and improving the environmental profile of structural building components. This research addresses that need through the development of bio-based SIPs composed of adhesive-free oriented strand board (OSB) facings and renewable insulation core materials. A major focus of this thesis is the fabrication of adhesive-free OSB by activating native lignin in wood strands through an alkaline-hydrothermal treatment. The process involves NaOH soaking, autoclaving, and hot pressing, and is intended to promote interfacial bonding without the addition of synthetic resin. Preliminary studies have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach, with optimized processing conditions producing bonding strengths comparable to formaldehyde-bonded controls. Chemical and surface characterization further suggest the formation of a lignin-rich interphase, supporting the hypothesis that mobilized native lignin contributes to adhesive-free bonding. These findings establish a strong foundation for using treated wood strands as sustainable structural facings in SIP systems. In parallel, this research investigates bio-based insulation core materials derived from natural fibers and renewable binders, including lignin-based systems. Particular attention is given to the influence of composition, density, and processing conditions on thermal conductivity, porosity, moisture response, and mechanical integrity. Understanding these relationships is essential for identifying core materials that provide both effective insulation and sufficient structural compatibility with the panel facings. The optimized core materials will then be integrated with adhesive-free OSB facings to fabricate complete SIP structures. Overall, this work seeks to establish a pathway toward formaldehyde-free, high-performance structural panels derived from renewable resources and to contribute to the broader development of safer, more sustainable materials for the construction industry.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EStructural Insulated Panels with Adhesive-free Oriented Strand Boards and\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio-based Thermal Insulation Core\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Structural Insulated Panels with Adhesive-free Oriented Strand Boards and Bio-based Thermal Insulation Core"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-23 11:55:57","changed_gmt":"2026-04-23 11:56:33","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-13T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-13T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-13T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-13 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-13 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-13 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"4211 Conference Room MRDC and Virtually via MS Teams or Zoom","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":""}},"689955":{"#nid":"689955","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by HUILI HUANG","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Civil and Environmental Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Thesis Defense Announcement\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPOST-DISASTER DAMAGE ASSESSMENT USING DEEP LEARNING WITH\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESURROGATE DATA\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBy\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp;HUILI HUANG\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDr. Max Mahdi Roozbahani (COC) \u0026amp; Dr. J.

This dissertation addresses the cold-start problem in post-disaster damage assessment, where timely and reliable damage information is urgently needed in the early aftermath of a hazard event, yet event-specific labeled data and expert-verified assessments are often unavailable. To mitigate this challenge, this dissertation investigates the use of surrogate data, defined here as timely, opportunistic, or non-traditional observations that provide proxy evidence of damage, disruption, or recovery when authoritative assessments are delayed. Specifically, this work examines nighttime lights as a proxy for regional disruption and recovery, and ground-view imagery from social media and expert reconnaissance as a source of fine-grained, asset-level damage evidence. Building on these data streams, it develops benchmark datasets, scalable annotation protocols, and computational methods for damage assessment under limited supervision, heterogeneous observations, and domain shift, including ScaleNet for multi-scale representation learning, DASeg for weakly supervised damage localization using vision foundation models, and SeismoMind for zero-shot damage assessment using multimodal large language models.

This program is organized across three complementary layers: secure high-level control, safe trajectory planning under uncertainty, and computationally efficient low-level tracking. Preliminary work establishes a lightweight Newton\u2013Raphson-flow tracking controller with demonstrated alpha-stability on a miniature blimp, achieving competitive performance against PX4, feedback linearization, and nonlinear model predictive control across quadrotor and lighter-than-air platforms. A second line of work develops RTD-RAX, a reachability-based trajectory design and runtime assurance framework that combines offline parameterized reachable sets for rapid candidate generation with online mixed-monotone reachability verification and trajectory repair, enabling safe planning under bounded disturbances while avoiding conservative planning. Building on this foundation, the proposed work extends RTD-RAX to learned Gaussian process disturbance models, transitions prior numerical ground-vehicle results to hardware, and proposes extensions to aerial platforms with hardware validation. We also propose improved trajectory repair strategies, and extending RTD-RAX from reach-avoid missions to more complex STL missions by learning which control parameters map onto given STL specifications. We further propose a standalone learning-accelerated signal temporal logic framework that reduces reliance on repeated mixed-integer linear program solves while preserving safety guarantees. Additionally, this work proposes cyber-physical inoculation, in which fault signatures and certified backup controllers expand a resilient safe operating envelope against adversarial attacks. Together, these proposed contributions advance fast, efficient, and resilient autonomy for safety-critical cyber-physical systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EComputationally Efficient and Safe Control for Aerial Robotic Systems under Threat and Disturbance\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Computationally Efficient and Safe Control for Aerial Robotic Systems under Threat and Disturbance  "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-22 14:52:47","changed_gmt":"2026-04-22 14:53:24","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":"2026-05-05T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-05T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-05 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-05 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-05 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TSRB 423","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":""}},"689944":{"#nid":"689944","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Community and Population Health Initiative (CAPHI) Spring 2026 Convening!","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBy collaborating with Georgia Tech\u2019s\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fresearch.gatech.edu%2Finterdisciplinary-research-institutes\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Cpmardhanan3%40gatech.edu%7Cf350f730f86d4f476e4608de9fe56b0c%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639124004860274552%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=%2FUrmM5XJKr8KXydsfiSbzX%2BXn%2FqVb1O8NZ%2FGyBxKods%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022Original URL: https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/interdisciplinary-research-institutes.

For decades, the prevailing view was that learning algorithms with strong robustness guarantees necessarily come with prohibitive computational cost, creating a sharp tension between statistical guarantees and algorithmic tractability. This talk describes a research program aimed at overcoming this barrier through an algorithmic theory of robust learning.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;I will describe two interconnected threads within this research program. The first develops a unified framework for efficient robust high-dimensional estimation, including the first polynomial-time algorithms for several fundamental unsupervised learning tasks under adversarial corruption. The second studies supervised learning under noisy labels, with an emphasis on learning predictors with low-dimensional latent representations. I will conclude by discussing future directions, including robustness beyond worst-case corruption and the efficient learning of richer nonlinear representations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Elias Diakonikolas is the Lubar Professor in the Department of Computer Sciences at UW Madison.

Every breath requires precise lateral head rotation timed to body roll and the arm pull cycle, yet swimmers have no direct view of their own mechanics while in motion. Traditional coaching addresses this through delayed verbal feedback, and while commercial swimming technology has expanded, no existing product targets breathing-stroke coordination specifically.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis thesis investigates how technology can support swimmers\u0027 awareness of breathing-stroke coordination in front crawl, with a focus on recreational and developing swimmers. The research follows a two-phase design process. Phase 1 consisted of semi-structured interviews with 16 swimmers and coaches spanning beginner through elite levels, analyzed through thematic analysis to characterize how coordination is experienced across skill levels and to derive design guidelines. Phase 2 developed a virtual reality training prototype grounded in these guidelines, presenting synchronized hand trajectory visualizations and spatial audio cues to make the timing relationship between stroke mechanics and breathing windows explicitly visible. A feasibility pilot study with seven amateur swimmers was conducted to explore the prototype\u0027s usability and its potential as a coordination training tool.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDesigning for Breathing-Stroke Coordination Awareness and Training in Front Crawl Swimming\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Designing for Breathing-Stroke Coordination Awareness and Training in Front Crawl Swimming"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 19:46:42","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 19:47:29","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-01T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-01T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-01T11:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-01 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-01 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-01 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"West Architecture 155","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":""}},"689935":{"#nid":"689935","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Generative AI Application for Supply Chain Professionals Workshop","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gamep.org\/\u0022\u003EGeorgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership\u003C\/a\u003E (GaMEP) at Georgia Tech, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/georgiaaim.org\/\u0022\u003EGeorgia AIM\u003C\/a\u003E, and the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.scl.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EGeorgia Tech Supply Chain and Logistics Institute\u003C\/a\u003E for a workshop showcasing how artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize supply chain efficiency.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EParticipants will be introduced to generative AI fundamentals, prompt engineering, and practical applications such as automated inventory systems, predictive maintenance, and route optimization.

To address this, we developed a direct reprogramming strategy using human urine-derived cells (U-cells) and adenoviral ETV2 (Ad-ETV2) to generate a vascular tissue\u2013like structure comprising endothelial cells (ECs), perivascular cells, and extracellular matrix (ECM). Method: U-cells from healthy male donors were transduced with Ad-ETV2 and cultured with ascorbic acid to promote ECM deposition and endothelial growth factors to induce differentiation. Endothelial characteristics were evaluated by qRT-PCR, flow cytometry, immunostaining, and single-cell RNA sequencing. ECM composition was analyzed by liquid chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed in a murine hindlimb ischemia model using laser Doppler perfusion imaging, histological analysis, and gene expression profiling of ischemic tissue. Result: By day 10, robust ECM deposition enabled harvest of cells in tissue form. The resulting directly reprogrammed vascular tissue-like structure (rVT) contained 75\u201386% EC-like and mesenchymal stromal cell\u2013like populations, confirmed at the mRNA, protein, and cellular levels, along with key structural and vessel-specific ECM proteins. rVT displayed a pre-vascularized architecture, and transplantation into ischemic mouse hindlimbs significantly improved blood perfusion, reduced tissue damage, and enhanced angiogenic and arteriogenic paracrine signaling. Tissue-form transplantation showed superior engraftment over dissociated cell injection. Transplanted cells migrated into host tissue, incorporating directly into vessels or localizing perivascularly \u2014 exhibiting pericytic behavior or residing within the ACTA2-positive layer of small arterioles. These vasculogenic and arteriogenic effects persisted for up to 3 months post-transplantation. Conclusion: rVT containing endothelial-like cells can be efficiently generated from U-cells via Ad-ETV2 transduction. Transplantation improves blood flow recovery, enhances tissue protection, and provides sustained vasculogenic and arteriogenic effects in ischemic tissue. This direct tissue reprogramming strategy offers a clinically relevant approach by simultaneously generating vascular cells and supportive ECM from autologous sources, eliminating the need for synthetic biomaterials or complex purification steps.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDIRECT CONVERSION OF HUMAN SOMATIC CELLS INTO VASCULAR TISSUE\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"DIRECT CONVERSION OF HUMAN SOMATIC CELLS INTO VASCULAR TISSUE"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:32:19","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:32:46","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-06T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-06T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-06T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-06 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-06 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-06 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"N600","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":""}},"689927":{"#nid":"689927","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Kaely C.

For example, people use AI to draft professional materials such as cover letters and bios, or to articulate preferences in medical settings, such as birth plans that communicate values and priorities for care. In these contexts, AI use extends beyond task assistance and becomes part of the process through which individuals construct and communicate representations of themselves. However, these representations often reflect the assumptions, conventions, and statistical patterns embedded in AI systems, resulting in outputs that may not faithfully capture users\u2019 situated experiences, self-understandings, or how they intend to be understood. This dissertation introduces \u003Cstrong\u003Erepresentational alignment\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;as a framework for understanding this challenge: the extent to which AI-mediated representations preserve and convey a person\u2019s intended meaning across contexts. \u003Cem\u003EMisalignment\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;arises when a person\u2019s intended self-representation diverges from the representation constructed by an AI system, often due to generalized or decontextualized interpretations of user input.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn my completed work, I examine representational alignment in two stages: breakdown and repair. The first study analyzes how misalignment emerges in practice through neurodivergent job-seekers\u2019 use of an LLM-powered career support chatbot, showing that systems frequently misinterpret implicit cues and impose normative language and assumptions. As a result, the chatbot\u2019s \u201csupport\u201d is often grounded in misaligned representations of users\u2019 experiences and intentions. The second study examines how users work to restore alignment through interaction. I introduce \u003Cstrong\u003Ebi-directional alignment\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;as an interaction paradigm in which users and systems iteratively shape representations together, and investigate this concept through \u003Cem\u003ELL.me\u003C\/em\u003E, a research probe that supports iterative refinement of AI-generated professional self-representations. Findings show that alignment develops through reflection, reinterpretation, and refinement, as users incorporate tacit contextual knowledge, personal values, and anticipated audience expectations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy proposed work extends representational alignment to clinical settings, where individuals must construct self-representations through the articulation of expectations preferences without full visibility into how they will be interpreted or executed within care institutions. Birth planning is a particularly challenging case, as patients must express delivery preferences in advance of uncertain and evolving conditions, where those preferences may later be reinterpreted, constrained, or overridden during care. I propose \u003Cem\u003EAIDoula\u003C\/em\u003E, an interactive system designed to support patients in articulating and refining birth preferences by making clinical constraints, such as standard delivery intervention protocols, more visible and enabling iterative revision. In this context, AI-generated representations must function as \u003Cstrong\u003Eboundary objects\u003C\/strong\u003E, carrying meaning between patients and clinicians while remaining actionable in care settings. Through a two-phase evaluation with patients and clinicians, I will examine how individuals construct conditional and flexible representations under partial constraint visibility, and how these representations are interpreted and reshaped within clinical workflows. Collectively, this dissertation advances a framework for representational alignment in human\u2013AI systems, contributing empirical evidence of misalignment, interactional approaches for supporting alignment in practice, and a system that demonstrates how representations can remain meaningful under uncertain and evolving constraints.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDesigning for Representational Alignment in Human-AI Interaction\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Designing for Representational Alignment in Human-AI Interaction"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:30:59","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:31:31","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-08T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-08T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-08T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-08 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-08 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-08 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Coda 1215 Midtown  ","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":""}},"689926":{"#nid":"689926","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Yanzhe Zhang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EBuilding and Stress-Testing Robust AI Agent Systems for Real-World Deployment\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003ETuesday, May 5th, 2026\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E13:00 - 14:30 PM EDT\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Online\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZoom:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F5256702657%3Fpwd%3DbWyj8saWbSVdLlrhb7PEHJYlZ5bTO5.1\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Ca89aa66d1ea64c93ed3f08de9f187a57%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639123124661892267%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=EP5Wf34v9i4uE2wPRWdnss5dYyh8t7GgpekYTYyDMr0%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/5256702657?pwd=bWyj8saWbSVdLlrhb7PEHJYlZ5bTO5.1\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYanzhe Zhang\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EPh.D. Student in Computer Science\u003Cbr\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing\u003Cbr\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstevenyzzhang.github.io%2Fwebsite%2F\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Ca89aa66d1ea64c93ed3f08de9f187a57%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639123124661918969%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=BEsaoAJiGWveqjJwATntgZ6FoL4B4JSGZvTH0g6TkWk%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/stevenyzzhang.github.io\/website\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee members\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Diyi Yang (advisor) - Computer Science Department, Stanford University\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Zsolt Kira (co-advisor) - School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Kartik Goyal - School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Polo Chau - School of Computational Science \u0026amp; Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELarge language models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving from passive text generators into autonomous, multimodal agents that can perceive, reason, and act in the real world. This transformation unlocks new capabilities, while also reshaping human\u2013AI interaction and introducing novel safety risks. In this thesis proposal, I present my research on building and stress-testing robust AI agent systems. First, I introduce methods for constructing and evaluating agent systems that enable new capabilities, including automatically generating websites from visual designs and generative interfaces that structure user interaction with AI systems. Second, I examine emerging risks in these agents, showing that computer-use agents are vulnerable to pop-up attacks and that large-scale simulation can systematically uncover privacy risks. Finally, I propose a framework for studying the fundamental reliability challenges underlying these failures, with the goal of understanding and improving robustness in real-world deployments.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBuilding and Stress-Testing Robust AI Agent Systems for Real-World Deployment\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Building and Stress-Testing Robust AI Agent Systems for Real-World Deployment"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:27:21","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:27:50","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-05T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-05T14:30:41-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-05T14:30:41-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-05 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-05 18:30:41","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-05 18:30:41","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"ZOOM","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":""}},"689924":{"#nid":"689924","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Savannah L.

Among available grid-scale storage technologies, Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) \u2014 which stores energy by compressing air underground and releases it through turbines on demand \u2014 offers the lowest levelized cost of storage of any current technology, surpassing batteries, pumped hydro, hydrogen, and thermal systems. Existing CAES plants (Huntorf, Germany; McIntosh, Alabama) use salt caverns, which are geographically restricted. Porous carbonate formations, distributed across the southeastern U.S. coastal zones where offshore wind and wave energy resources are abundant, offer a far more geographically widespread alternative \u2014 but their suitability as CAES reservoirs under realistic subsurface conditions has never been systematically characterized.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis dissertation presents a comprehensive laboratory characterization of three distinct carbonate formations - St. Maximin, Miami, and Hemingway. Experiments characterized the full suite of properties relevant to CAES viability, including mineralogy (XRD), density, total and accessible porosity, micro-CT pore imaging, permeability, ultrasonic wave speeds and elastic moduli, unconfined compressive strength and failure mode (via acoustic emissions), water retention curves, creep behavior, and cyclic loading response. Energy storage density was calculated directly from measured pore and mechanical properties and benchmarked against the two operating CAES plants. The results highlight that pore geometry and connectivity must be characterized jointly with porosity for meaningful CAES modeling; water retention and evaporation govern energy storage density; creep is saturation-dependent and operationally significant; and cyclic pressurization does not cause rapid structural and strength deterioration, but cumulative strain can lead to failure in long-term operation. Calculated energy storage densities for offshore carbonate CAES are competitive with, and in high-porosity cases exceed, those of existing salt cavern plants (~7.5\u201318 MJ\/m\u00b3), demonstrating the technical feasibility of porous carbonate formations as CAES reservoirs. The work establishes the first systematic experimental dataset for air\u2013water saturated carbonate reservoir media under CAES-relevant conditions, filling a critical gap in a field previously dominated by oil\u2013water and CO\u2082 storage studies. Findings directly inform site selection criteria, reservoir performance modeling, and operational safety assessments for future offshore CAES development in the southeastern U.S. \u2014 a region that combines abundant offshore renewable energy resources with extensive shallow carbonate geology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\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\u003EFUNDAMENTAL HYDROGEOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBONATE FORMATIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR OFFSHORE COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"FUNDAMENTAL HYDROGEOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBONATE FORMATIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR OFFSHORE COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:25:49","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:26:23","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-05T08:00:00-04:00","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 12:00:00","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":"Ford ES\u0026T, Room 3243 (The Ocean 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":""}},"689923":{"#nid":"689923","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by  Yueh-Chi Wu","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EYueh-Chi Wu\u003Cbr\u003EBME PhD Proposal Presentation\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate: 2026-05-05\u003Cbr\u003ETime: 13:00-15:00PM\u003Cbr\u003ELocation \/ Meeting Link: HSRB \/ \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/emory.zoom.us\/j\/93282915123\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/emory.zoom.us\/j\/93282915123\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee Members:\u003Cbr\u003EErin M.

Diffuse optical techniques, including diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS), are noninvasive bedside methods that can continuously quantify regional cerebral hemodynamics and autoregulatory function. These tools therefore offer a unique opportunity to monitor brain health in real time and to move beyond conventional large-vessel surveillance toward direct assessment of treatment-responsive microvascular physiology. In Aim 1, I will determine whether microvascular cerebral blood flow (CBF) increases in response to intrathecal nicardipine treatment and whether a blunted response is associated with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and exploratory functional outcome. Preliminary data support this aim: DCS detected significant increases in relative CBF after intrathecal nicardipine on treatment days 1, 2, and 3, while the largest prognostic differences by DCI and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) were observed on day 1. These findings suggest that the early microvascular response to treatment may provide clinically meaningful prognostic information. In Aim 2, I will determine whether microvascular autoregulation is impaired after SAH, whether dysfunction is worse in patients with vasospasm, and whether autoregulatory responses to treatment predict outcome. Using SCOS- and DCS-derived autoregulatory metrics, this aim will extend bedside monitoring beyond treatment- responsive flow changes to dynamic cerebrovascular control. Preliminary data suggest that autoregulatory metrics, particularly on day 2, may distinguish poor from favorable outcome, supporting the feasibility of autoregulation-based risk stratification in this population. In Aim 3, I will improve the accuracy of DCS-derived cerebral blood flow estimation in adults by comparing homogeneous, layered, modified Beer-Lambert law (MBLL)-based, and pressure-modulation-constrained approaches against arterial spin labeling MRI (ASL-MRI). Preliminary analyses show that a semi-infinite MBLL method significantly correlates with MRI-derived relative CBF change, and that a two-layer pressure-modulation MBLL approach shows even stronger agreement, suggesting that pressure-constrained layered modeling may improve separation of extracerebral and cerebral signals. Together, these studies will define treatment-responsive and autoregulatory microvascular biomarkers while strengthening the methodological foundation needed to translate DCS and SCOS into practical bedside tools for individualized monitoring and treatment guidance after SAH.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDiffuse Correlation Spectroscopy for Assessing Microvascular Cerebral Hemodynamics and Predicting Outcomes After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy for Assessing Microvascular Cerebral Hemodynamics and Predicting Outcomes After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:20:58","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:21:33","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-05T13:00:22-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-05T15:00:22-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-05T15:00:22-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-05 17:00:22","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-05 19:00:22","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-05 19:00:22","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"HSRB \/ https:\/\/emory.zoom.us\/j\/93282915123","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":""}},"689922":{"#nid":"689922","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Kaige Xie","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Lifecycle-Oriented Optimization of Natural Language Generation Systems through Text Sub-Structures\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Monday, April 27th, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;1:00\u20133:00 PM ET\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;online [\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/293794348175007?p=H5XD7DVYM8ekfduaF9\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/293794348175007?p=H5XD7DVYM8ekfduaF9\u0022\u003ETeams link\u003C\/a\u003E]\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EKaige Xie\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Student in Computer Science\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:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Pascal Van Hentenryck (advisor) - School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Thomas Ploetz - School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Chao Zhang - School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis dissertation investigates how to optimize natural language generation (NLG) systems built on large language models (LLMs) from a holistic, lifecycle-oriented perspective. While recent advances in LLMs have led to substantial gains across a wide range of NLG tasks, prior research has largely focused on improving benchmark performance, often overlooking the broader challenges that arise across model training, inference, evaluation, and deployment. This dissertation argues that such a performance-centric view is insufficient for real-world NLG systems, whose success depends not only on output quality but also on efficiency, reasoning capability, evaluation fidelity, and user trust. To address this gap, the dissertation introduces a unified framework centered on text sub-structures\u2014semantically meaningful intermediate representations embedded in text\u2014and studies how their recognition and strategic utilization can improve NLG systems throughout their full lifecycle.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe dissertation develops this framework across four representative NLG tasks: dialogue summarization, story generation, action plan generation, and question answering. In dialogue summarization, it shows how dialogue skeletons can facilitate more effective few-shot learning and improve cross-task prompt transfer under limited supervision. In story generation, it demonstrates how outline-based planning structures can guide LLMs toward producing more coherent and engaging narratives. In action plan generation, it examines precondition-effect dependencies as a form of latent world knowledge that enables LLMs to better model action feasibility and environmental change. In question answering, it explores sub-questions as a versatile sub-structure for both fine-grained system evaluation and explanation generation, improving the assessment of open-ended retrieval-augmented generation systems and enhancing users\u2019 ability to judge model reliability. Collectively, these studies show that text sub-structures provide a general and effective semantic scaffold for improving learning efficiency, inference-time planning and reasoning, evaluation robustness, and deployment-time user experience.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ELifecycle-Oriented Optimization of Natural Language Generation Systems through Text Sub-Structures\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Lifecycle-Oriented Optimization of Natural Language Generation Systems through Text Sub-Structures"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:14:05","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:19:54","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-27T13:00:36-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-28T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-28T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-27 17:00:36","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-28 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-28 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TEAMS","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":""}},"689921":{"#nid":"689921","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exam - Xinyu Jiang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EHigh Trapping Bandwidth Electrostatic Levitation Platform for Inertial Navigation Applications\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Ayazi, Advisor\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Taylor, Chair\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Ansari\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe objective of the proposed research is to design a high trapping bandwidth electrostatic levitation system termed \u2018electrostatic clamping\u2019, specifically designed for Coriolis vibratory gyroscopes (CVGs) and wafer-level-packaged MEMS die.

For nonconvex QCQPs, finding globally optimal solutions is computationally intractable in general, and even small instances can be challenging for state-of-the-art optimization solvers. This thesis studies the design and analysis of global optimization algorithms and relaxation schemes for QCQPs that are both mathematically rigorous and computationally practical.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ESolving QCQPs to global optimality relies on three key components: (i) finding high-quality feasible solutions, (ii) constructing tight relaxations, and (iii) selecting effective branching strategies. These are crucial for the spatial branch-and-bound, which is the dominant approach for solving QCQPs. This thesis contributes to each of these components.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThe first part of the thesis addresses the problem of finding high-quality feasible solutions for an energy storage optimization problem whose operational constraints are bilinear. We develop a regularized formulation whose linear programming relaxation yields a feasible solution to the original problem. This approach enables solving previously challenging trilevel optimization problems modeling adversarial attacks on power grids.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThe second part of the thesis focuses on building a tighter convex relaxation for bilinear bipartite programs using aggregation techniques to construct second-order cone representable sets. We characterize when aggregation methods yield the exact convex hull and provide illustrative examples. Computational experiments demonstrate that aggregation methods improve bounds over single-row relaxations and commercial solvers, reducing the optimality gap.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThe third part of the thesis proposes a novel branching rule, namely extreme strong branching, which jointly optimizes both branching variable and point selection via binary search. This approach leverages objective value improvements to minimize branch-and-bound tree size while producing bound tightening as a byproduct.

Yet for the past 35 years, NASA\u0027s acquisition practices have been designated \u0022high-risk\u0022 by the GAO due to chronic cost overruns and schedule delays. A root cause analysis traces these outcomes to epistemic shortfalls in early-phase architecting: tacitness, ambiguity, manual data transfers, and inconsistencies in how architectural knowledge is represented, exchanged, and verified. To address these shortfalls, this dissertation introduces ontologies and semantic web technologies into early-phase campaign architecting to develop ontology-based epistemic infrastructure. A tailored methodology, SEC Ontology Development Methodology (SECODM), was formulated. Following it, a layered ontology ecosystem, SECO, was developed along with minimum viable infrastructure for development, verification, and deployment. An evaluation framework based on elegant systems theory was developed to assess these contributions. Three case studies demonstrated that the ontology and infrastructure address the identified root causes through formal knowledge representation, machine-readable interoperability, and automated consistency verification.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-05-04, 1pm ET\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: CoVE\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EProf. Daniel Scrage, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EProf. Thomas Gonzalez Roberts, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Bradford Robertson, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Balchanos, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Stephen Edwards, NASA MSFC\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAn Approach to Developing Ontology-Based Epistemic Infrastructure for Early-Phase Architecting of Space Exploration Campaigns\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"An Approach to Developing Ontology-Based Epistemic Infrastructure for Early-Phase Architecting of Space Exploration Campaigns"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:07:20","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:07:57","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-04T13:00:28-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-04T15:00:28-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-04T15:00:28-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-04 17:00:28","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-04 19:00:28","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-04 19:00:28","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"CoVE","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":""}},"689914":{"#nid":"689914","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Sheldon Salins","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Sheldon Salins\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 Proposal\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDegree Program: Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETitle: Reduced-Order Modeling for Aero-Structural Design of Advanced Air Mobility Vehicles\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: In recent years, the field of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)---previously referred to as Urban Air Mobility (UAM)---has made significant progress towards commercialization. These AAM vehicles have consumer-facing applications such as air taxi and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) delivery services, with many proposed missions occurring within urban settings. This is an environment characterized by aerodynamic drivers that are not present in the traditional flight analysis methods applied in open-air conditions, such as the importance of building wake flows and small-scale turbulence. The AAM industry is also presently facing the challenging economics of bringing financially stable low capacity flights to the market, meaning minimizing costs while maximizing safety are a large concern. With this in mind, a deeper understanding of sources of structural fatigue and their significance may be crucial to keeping inspection and repair costs low while maintaining confidence in vehicle and passenger safety. This thesis aims to elucidate the feasibility of reduced-order models as alternatives to costly mid- or high-fidelity computational tools for early design and analysis of AAM\u0027s. Specifically, aerodynamic flow models will be assesed for their sensitivity and applicability in urban environment applications. Addionally, the effects of multi-tiltrotor downwash on a wing will be evaluated with a number of solvers. The resulting structural loads will be compared to determine the bounds of the tradeoff between model fidelity and solution accuracy.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-29, 2:00pm\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Skiles 246\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Marilyn Smith (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Juergen Rauleder, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Graeme Kennedy, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EReduced-Order Modeling for Aero-Structural Design of Advanced Air Mobility Vehicles\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Reduced-Order Modeling for Aero-Structural Design of Advanced Air Mobility Vehicles"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:01:04","changed_gmt":"2026-04-21 17:01:31","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-29T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-29T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-29T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-29 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-29 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-29 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Skiles 246","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":""}},"689790":{"#nid":"689790","#data":{"type":"event","title":"2026 IBB Art Gallery \u0026 Showcase","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\ud83c\udfa8 \u003Cstrong\u003ECalling All Artists\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOpen to Georgia Tech Students, Postdocs, Faculty, and Staff\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EShow off your creative side at the \u003Cstrong\u003EIBB Art Gallery \u0026amp; Showcase\u003C\/strong\u003E.

While on paper the implementation of this flow configuration is simple enough, the interaction between the two fluid streams results in a super three-dimensional, unsteady large scale vortical structures, namely: horseshoe vortices, shear layer vortices, counter-rotating vortex pairs, and the wake vortices. Out of these, the wake vortices are the least understood and have received limited attention. A large body of literature exists in characterizing the formation and development of the shear layer vortices (SLV) and the counter-rotating vortex pairs (CVP), and as such, control strategies are developed around their behavior in system level applications. Despite the bulk of the mixing is attributed to the SLVs and the CVP, the wake structures appear to add another layer of far field mixing from their tornado-like behavior and are the major focus of this work. Although experimental and computational studies have been performed to characterize the periodicity associated with the wake vortices, general consensus on their precise formation mechanism and source of vorticity is yet to be achieved. Moreover, despite the existence of tornado-like structures in the wake of the jet are widely acknowledged in the research community, the exact nature of their evolution is yet to be explained. In the context of a reacting jet in crossflow (staged combustors, for instance), presence of combustion has been shown to significantly alter the underlying hydrodynamics of the flow field due to additional physics like dilatation effects, baroclinic torque, and local viscosity changes, resulting in complex flame-flow interactions. Furthermore, combustor phenomena such as flame stabilization and Nox emissions have been shown to be highly sensitive to the background fluid mechanics of this flow field, necessitating a systematic investigation onto combustion effects. Additionally, since the evolution of these large scale flow structures occurs at their respective time and length scales, studies on their interactions require highly-resolved spatial and temporal datasets. Motivated by the above-mentioned gaps in literature and challenges on analysis, this proposal seeks to explore the characteristics of the wake structures and attempts to answer fundamental questions like: (1) What is the nature of flow separation mechanisms (low pressure-driven events vs CVP induction) and source of vorticity (crossflow boundary layer vs jet shear layer), (2) what is the effect of flame attachment location and the consequent local heat release distribution on wake vortices, (3) what are the unsteady features of the wake vortices (characteristic frequencies, symmetry, mode shapes) and how do they compare between non-reacting and reacting jet in crossflow datasets. These research questions are systematically investigated using high fidelity large eddy simulations. The computations will be performed over a range of fluid dynamic parameters characterizing the flow field and the dependencies of the topological features of wake structures on test parameters will be ascertained.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-05-01, 9.00 AM - 11.00 AM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: MK-317\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Timothy Lieuwen (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Ari Glezer, School of Mechanical Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Joseph Oefelein, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EUnsteady Wake Structures in Jets in Crossflow\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Unsteady Wake Structures in Jets in Crossflow"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-20 18:46:42","changed_gmt":"2026-04-20 18:47:25","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-01T09:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-01T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-01T11:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-01 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-01 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-01 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MK-317","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":""}},"689907":{"#nid":"689907","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Jacob Alan DeWitt","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPhD Thesis\u0026nbsp;Defense\u0026nbsp;Announcement\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Jacob Alan DeWitt\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThesis Title: Mechanocatalytic Synthesis of Ammonia over Transition Metal Nitrides\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThesis Advisor: Dr. Carsten Sievers\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThesis Co-Advisor: N\/A\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECommittee Members: Dr. William J.

These responses include thrombosis (\u201cclotting\u201d), inflammation, immune responses, matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, wound healing; i.e., all aspects of a host response to an implanted material or device. The material is an agonist, much like small molecule drugs; however, the materials are 3-dimensional objects acting across an interface so that the mechanism of action is more complex and our understanding of what is happening is more rudimentary than it is for small molecules. Hence, our challenge is to translate what is known about biological mechanisms with small molecule agonists into a picture of what is occurring with the biomaterial. Depending on the problem, the lab synthesises new polymers, formulates existing polymers into novel forms, assesses surface chemistry and structure, studies cell-material interactions in cell culture and\/or conducts in vivo experiments in animals (typically mice and rats). Most of the responses of interest are only evident in vivo and so the in vivo studies are typically key in many projects at the Masters and Ph.D. levels.

The optimal delivery not only introduces cargo into cells but achieves cytosolic access while preserving cell viability and normal function. Existing approaches often fall short of this balance. Viral and carrier-mediated methods can promote uptake of molecularly encoded genes but are limited by endosomal entrapment and intracellular degradation. Electroporation can disrupt cell membranes but also disturbs normal cellular physiology. These limitations have motivated interest in microfluidic mechanoporation, in which cells are transiently permeabilized through controlled mechanical deformation. However, the mechanism of mechanoporation remains poorly defined and, as such, performance remains difficult to predict and standardize. To bridge the gap, this dissertation establishes a framework connecting device geometry, transient loading dynamics, and delivery outcomes. A key learning is that mechanoporation performance is demonstrated to be better explained by cell loading kinetics than by deformation magnitude alone. Systematic channel width and ridge angle variation demonstrates how tuning force rate, directionality, and loading history improves delivery efficiency, cell survival and experimental consistency. Integration of high-speed trajectory analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multivariate modeling further reveals that steady-state descriptors such as strain magnitude are insufficient to explain mechanoporation outcomes, which instead, correlate strongly with strain rate and history-dependent hydrodynamic forces. Extending these insights to nanoparticle delivery, imaging analyses demonstrate that optimized device geometries enable deeper intracellular access and improved cargo retention relative to conventional incubation-based approaches. Together, these results provide a force-based framework for mechanoporation that links device design to biologically meaningful intracellular delivery.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBioE PhD Defense Presentation- Avi Gupta\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\uf2bc\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESummarize\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cimg src=\u0022blob:https:\/\/outlook.cloud.microsoft\/2bc63c21-b94e-4fff-8aa0-d1c2095ed8ae\u0022 alt=\u0022\u0022\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EPaige, Laura T\u0026lt;laura.paige@bioengineering.gatech.edu\u0026gt;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv dir=\u0022ltr\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u200bPaige, Laura T\u200b\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u200bNelson, Teresa L;\u200bannouncements@grad.gatech.edu\u200b\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv lang=\u0022EN-US\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAvi Gupta\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBioE Ph.D. Defense Presentation\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWed, May 6, 2026, 12:30 PM\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation: EBB CHOA Seminar Room\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F96972528891%3Fpwd%3DwfP5hwf2uLElzalXRKe0aCtPJxomYc.1%26from%3Daddon\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cacbf45331d544f08c7ff08de9b355cb2%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639118850660716125%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=%2FvqGGc2H0vAWMjQ2j8aLA6o9Bgb7nIM2TH5sVMOK9Ww%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022Original URL: https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/96972528891?pwd=wfP5hwf2uLElzalXRKe0aCtPJxomYc.1\u0026amp;from=addon.

Its replication depends on the assembly of a protein capsid, making this process an important target for antiviral intervention. This work integrates molecular dynamics simulations and biophysical experiments to investigate how small molecules interact with and modulate the HBV core protein across different structural contexts. First, biophysics-guided approaches were used to identify ligands targeting the inter-dimer assembly interface, showing that small molecules can perturb capsid assembly through changes in inter-subunit interactions. Second, free-energy calculations were conducted to characterize the conformational landscape of a key assembly intermediate, providing insight into structural features that may influence assembly nucleation. Third, a distinct intra-dimer pocket was characterized using fragment-based mapping and pharmacophore modeling, enabling virtual screening and experimental validation of ligands with extended binding modes. Together, these results provide a framework for understanding how small molecules can modulate HBV capsid behavior and highlight new directions for antiviral design.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EModulating Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Assembly and Function through Pharmacological Intervention \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Modulating Hepatitis B Virus Capsid Assembly and Function through Pharmacological Intervention \u00a0"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 04:54:47","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 04:55:29","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-29T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-29T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-29T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-29 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-29 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-29 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Howey 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":""}},"689868":{"#nid":"689868","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Zihan Zhang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Tensor-based Predictive Modeling and Control for High-dimensional Data\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate: \u003C\/strong\u003EMay 15, 2026 (Friday)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime: \u003C\/strong\u003E10:00 am - 12:00 pm EST\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZoom link:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F97178700611%3Fpwd%3Dx3BIcKHMf0trFzXunDRap84ARbL8nx.1%26from%3Daddon\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cbf5b420afd4b4afda4ce08de9ba85fd5%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639119344643210516%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=q%2BrTI3%2FhlAmsVCT2ZnNO%2FnJ3EfoTz8NAXePr3rFs1SE%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022Original URL: https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/97178700611?pwd=x3BIcKHMf0trFzXunDRap84ARbL8nx.1\u0026amp;from=addon.

A constrained optimization problem is solved in which the goal is to select measurement locations that yield the best-conditioned estimation problem, with the constraint that the total travel time to visit all points must be less than a specified value. The effectiveness of search locations is measured by the stable rank of the kernel matrix, which quantifies the attenuation between each candidate source location and candidate measurement location. Measurement locations are selected by a greedy algorithm for maximum stable rank while the total travel time is minimized by solving the well-known traveling salesman problem. Simulation results of the algorithm demonstrate that the optimization improves the estimation of radiological source term parameters for a given time constraint. The continued work will focus on the implementation of the algorithm on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Modifications to the algorithm will be needed to account for different absorption mediums and isotopes. A lab-based experiment demonstrating a search for radiation point sources of different isotopes is being designed.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-24, 3:00-4:00\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Weber 200\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Jonathan Rogers (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Lu Gan, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Craig Bakker, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\u003Cbr\u003E,\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EUAV Implementation of Optimal Path Planning for Radiological Source Localization in Cluttered Environments\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"UAV Implementation of Optimal Path Planning for Radiological Source Localization in Cluttered Environments"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 04:45:45","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 04:46:21","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-24T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-24T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-24T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-24 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-24 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-24 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Weber 200","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166866","name":"MS 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":""}},"689862":{"#nid":"689862","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by  Yixuan Li","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle: Enhance Preparation for Future Learning through Decision-Rich Data Visualization Learning Environments: \u003C\/strong\u003EA Design-Based Research with Middle School Students\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYixuan Li\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EPh.D. Student in Human-centered Computing\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003ESchool of Interactive Computing\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftiffanylyx.github.io%2FYixuanLi%2F\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cc6acfae9be3648e430fc08de9bf5a9bc%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639119676600250203%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=QBmnlZtDdvyd0thEPXvlE1nyk%2F2NHkltGrxihSjkqSk%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 id=\u0022OWAebc0dd60-d005-524e-7aaf-8a42c2669a2b\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022Original URL: https:\/\/tiffanylyx.github.io\/YixuanLi\/.

Data literacy is increasingly recognized as a core competency, yet instructional approaches that improve accessibility often rely on pre-curated data, predefined questions, and automated tools, limiting students\u2019 opportunities to engage in the epistemic decision-making central to authentic data practices. To address this tension, this study foregrounds EDA as learners\u2019 capacity to take responsibility for decisions in problem framing, representation, interpretation, and communication. It introduces decision-rich learning environments that preserve, make visible, and enable such decisions. Using a design-based research approach across iterative summer camp implementations, the study draws on video analysis, student artifacts, and pre\/post assessments to examine how students enact EDA and how these practices relate to PFL. Findings aim to contribute to an operationalized framework of EDA and PFL, and design principles for supporting transferable data literacy through decision-rich learning experiences.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEnhance Preparation for Future Learning through Decision-Rich Data Visualization Learning Environments: \u003C\/strong\u003EA Design-Based Research with Middle School Students\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Enhance Preparation for Future Learning through Decision-Rich Data Visualization Learning Environments: A Design-Based Research with Middle School Students "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 04:26:43","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 04:27:19","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-30T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-30T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-30T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-30 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-30 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-30 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TSRB room 334 (VIS Lab)\u00a0","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":""}},"689860":{"#nid":"689860","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Nicholas Y.

Although FDA-approved therapies have shown promising results, chronic inflammation and bacterial infections persist, causing tissue damage and worsening quality of life despite a large immune cell presence. This thesis investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of NF-\u03baB signaling during inflammation by developing and applying spatial omics tools at the single-cell level across multiple biological contexts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe first introduce PRISMS, an open-sourced, automated multiplexing pipeline for spatial transcriptomic and proteomic imaging compatible with Nikon widefield and Cephla spinning disk confocal microscopy. Using PRISMS, we apply pSigOmics static fixation to profile over 100,000 mouse fibroblasts stimulated with TNF\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2, revealing a novel asymmetric protein-RNA (APR) relationship between p65 RNA and protein. Graph neural network classification and PHATe trajectory analysis further delineate distinct APR subpopulations among stimulated fibroblasts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe next extend pSigOmics with programmable fixation via helical perfusion to create a continuous gradient of cell response, confirming the APR phenomenon with finer temporal resolution through cross-correlation, generalized additive model smoothing, and pseudotime analyses. Together, static and programmable fixation establish a comprehensive spatiotemporal framework for studying oscillatory translational regulation in single cells.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe then develop graph-based super-resolution protein-protein interaction (GSR-PPI) analysis to predict cancer drug responses from spatial PPI networks in lung adenocarcinoma cells and patient-derived NSCLC tissues, and introduce multiplexed iterative sequential PLA (iseqPLA) to visualize 3D NF-\u03baB supercomplex dynamics. Upstream supercomplexes containing TRAF-5_TRADD and TRAF-5_TRAF-2 undergo rapid dissociation upon cytokine stimulation, inversely correlated with p65 nuclear translocation. Macrophage-fibroblast coculture experiments reveal that CF airway supernatant-exposed macrophages impart a hyperinflammatory phenotype to neighboring fibroblasts through paracrine NF-\u03baB activation. We additionally validate our NF-\u03baB gene panel using scGPT foundation models trained on multi-disease transcriptomic datasets, establishing a mechanistic link between protein-level supercomplex dynamics and transcriptional outputs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThese contributions demonstrate the power of combining spatial multiplexing, temporal reconstruction, and computational modeling to decode immune signaling at single-cell and subcellular resolution, with implications for understanding chronic inflammation in CF and identifying opportune windows for therapeutic intervention.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETimeseries Spatial Omics of Immune Cell Signaling in Inflammation\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Timeseries Spatial Omics of Immune Cell Signaling in Inflammation"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 03:24:13","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 03:27:47","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-01T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-01T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-01T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-01 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-01 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-01 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"IBB 1128","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":""}},"689859":{"#nid":"689859","#data":{"type":"event","title":" Ph.D. Proposal Defense \u2013Candace Washington","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECollege of Design \u2013 School of Building Construction \u2013 Ph.D. Proposal Defense \u2013Candace Washington\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Friday, May 1st, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E12:00 pm- 2:00 pm\u0026nbsp;Eastern Time\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EMicrosoft Teams\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Ece Erdogmus, Founding Dean, College of Architecture, Art, and Construction, Clemson University (co-advisor and co-committee chair)\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Eunhwa Yang, School of Building Construction, College of Design, Georgia Institute of Technology (co-advisor and co-committee chair)\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Jing Wen, School of Building Construction, College of Design, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Carol Colatrella,\u0026nbsp; School of Literature, Media, and Communication, Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Heidi Diefus-Dux,\u0026nbsp; Department of Biological Systems Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Nebraska\u2013Lincoln\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEnhancing High School Counselors\u2019 Knowledge and Confidence in Promoting Construction Management Careers: A Mixed Method Study\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe U.S. construction industry faces a significant and escalating shortage of construction management (CM) professionals driven by an aging workforce, increasing project demand and complexity, and a limited pipeline of students entering CM degree programs. These challenges are further compounded by disconnects between industry workforce needs and the career guidance students receive in high school settings. Although CM offers stable and high-opportunity career pathways, many students remain unaware of the profession. High school counselors, who play a critical role in shaping students\u2019 postsecondary trajectories, often report limited knowledge of CM and low confidence in advising students about CM career pathways. These advising gaps restrict students\u2019 access to CM opportunities and contribute to long-term workforce shortages.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo address these gaps, this study investigates how targeted professional development influences high school counselors\u2019 confidence in advising students about construction management careers. The professional development intervention incorporates structured CM instructional content alongside an experiential learning component using a virtual reality (VR) module derived from the NSF-funded Virtual\/Augmented-Reality-Based Discipline Exploration Rotations (VADER-R) project. While VR-based tools have been explored for student recruitment, their application in counselor-focused professional development remains limited.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGrounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), this mixed-methods study focuses on counselor self-efficacy as the primary construct of interest. The study develops and validates a construction management\u2013specific adaptation of the Career Counseling Self-Efficacy Scale (CCSES-CM) to measure counselors\u2019 confidence in advising students about CM pathways. In the quantitative phase, a pre\u2013post design is used to assess changes in counselors\u2019 CM advising self-efficacy following participation in the professional development workshop. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews are conducted with a sample of participants to further explore how the intervention influenced their confidence, perceptions, and advising intentions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe anticipated contributions of this study are threefold. First, it provides a validated, discipline-specific instrument (CCSES-CM) for measuring counselor self-efficacy in construction management advising. Second, it offers empirical evidence on how targeted professional development can strengthen counselors\u2019 confidence in promoting workforce-critical career pathways. Third, it presents a scalable and adaptable professional development model that can be implemented by school districts, higher education institutions, and workforce development organizations. By strengthening counselors\u2019 capacity to communicate accurate, relevant CM career information, this research supports improved alignment between educational advising systems and the construction industry\u0027s\u0026nbsp;workforce needs.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEnhancing High School Counselors\u2019 Knowledge and Confidence in Promoting Construction Management Careers: A Mixed Method Study\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Enhancing High School Counselors\u2019 Knowledge and Confidence in Promoting Construction Management Careers: A Mixed Method Study"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:27:20","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:28:14","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-01T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-01T14:00:04-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-01T14:00:04-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-01 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-01 18:00:04","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-01 18:00:04","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TEAMS","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":""}},"689858":{"#nid":"689858","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Na Liu","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EName:\u0026nbsp;Na Liu\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESchool of Psychology \u2013 Ph.D. Dissertation Defense Meeting\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate: Friday, May 1st, 2026\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime\u003C\/strong\u003E: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation\u003C\/strong\u003E: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/280702586324498?p=LJWO3M5R4LkHhjUhr8\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/280702586324498?p=LJWO3M5R4LkHhjUhr8\u0022\u003ENa Liu\u0027s Dissertation Defense | Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDissertation Committee Chair\/Advisor:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EJames Roberts, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDissertation Committee Members:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAudrey Leroux, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003Cbr\u003EDingjing Shi, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003Cbr\u003EMark Himmelstein, Ph.D. (Georgia Tech)\u003Cbr\u003EHongli Li, Ph.D. (Georgia State University)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle: Enhancing Precision in the Generalized Graded Unfolding Model (GGUM) Using Successive Interval Judgements Indicative of Item Location\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EThe Generalized Graded Unfolding Model (GGUM) is an ideal-point item response theory model suited to measuring non-cognitive constructs such as attitudes, emotions, and personality. A practical limitation of the GGUM is its requirement for large samples (N \u0026gt; 750) to achieve stable parameter recovery. This dissertation evaluated whether integrating collateral item location information from the Method of Successive Intervals (MSI) into the traditional GGUM could improve parameter recovery and reduce sample size requirements. A Monte Carlo simulation study crossed two sample sizes (N = 300, 750), two response formats (2- and 6-category), and two MSI\u2013trait correlations (r = .50, .80) across 10 replications per cell. Parameter recovery for item discriminations (\u03b1), item locations (\u03b4), person locations (\u03b8), and response category thresholds (\u03c4) was evaluated using root mean square deviation (RMSD), posterior standard deviation (PSD), and relative parameter bias (RPB). An empirical comparison was also conducted using attitude-toward-abortion data from 40 items administered to undergraduate participants at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

I make two central arguments: first, that we can improve people\u2019s ability to act with AI tools by examining how their actions and information needs connect to the ways they care for themselves and others; and second, that understanding how laws and regulations \u0026nbsp;impact people\u2019s ability to care with AI tools, we can inform the creation and use of AI tools to support people navigating uneven or unknown risks.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis work deepens our understanding of actionability in 5 parts. I discuss how I created a user-centered catalog of information and actions to re-orient the design and evaluation of AI tools around users\u0027 needs. Building on this foundation, I draw out the complexities of enabling actionability through an in-depth investigation of physicians\u0027 needs, first uncovering how care\u2014including laws, regulations, and collective responsibility for patient well-being\u2014shapes actionability in ways current AI tools\u2019 designs often overlook. Informed by the ways care highlights laws and regulations as a contextual factor, I investigate how doctors\u0027 perceptions of potential errors connect to their legal concerns for AI tools. I show that doctors do not connect legal risks to AI tools\u2019 capabilities, and I discuss how this gap may result in unintentional harm in the form of defensive medical practices. To address these gaps, I describe an assets-based, co-design process with lawyers that used visualizations to surface tacit legal knowledge and generate strategies for stakeholders to predict and manage legal risks, revealing how power dynamics shape actionability. Finally, I ground these findings in practice through an analysis of 31 U.S. legal cases, identifying how a complex web of stakeholders and widely deployed AI tools negatively impact patient care, and proposing paths forward through revised liability structures and tools that support legal recourse for patients.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUnderstanding the Intersections of AI, User Needs, and Law\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Understanding the Intersections of AI, User Needs, and Law "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:12:48","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:13:25","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-29T10:30:24-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-29T12:30:24-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-29T12:30:24-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-29 14:30:24","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-29 16:30:24","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-29 16:30:24","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Coda C1115 Druid Hills ","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":""}},"689854":{"#nid":"689854","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Adrian Choi","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETitle: Infrastructuring Critically Conscious Networked Publics for a More Inclusive Democracy\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAdrian Choi\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPh.D. Student in Human-Centered Computing (HCC)\u0026nbsp;\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\u003EDate: Monday, May 11th, 2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETime: 10:00 AM-1:00 PM EST\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation: TSRB 217A or \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgatech.zoom.us%2Fj%2F92501046602%3Fpwd%3DZZ1sNubf8F7aDD1hMsYkcsMOizP0qd.1\u0026amp;data=05%7C02%7Ctm186%40gtvault.onmicrosoft.com%7Cd40d9b709a7c49dd30c208de9ccd5e9f%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C1%7C0%7C639120603075090660%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C\u0026amp;sdata=QkwfzjdokmtTLHcGTuhUPYhNkSm51SIZZpatUI%2BB9YY%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/92501046602?pwd=ZZ1sNubf8F7aDD1hMsYkcsMOizP0qd.1\u0022\u003EJoin via Zoom\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Andrea G.

However, as youth coalesce around political issues using networked technologies like social media, the formation of these publics becomes actively mediated by commercial technologies. While these technologies allow counter-publics to scale their political discourse, their underlying infrastructure often erodes the conditions necessary for sustaining critical awareness and engaging in constructive deliberation. As such, there is a need to examine how to scaffold technologically-mediated environments that cultivate critically conscious publics in support of an inclusive deliberative democracy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI present five studies analyzing how sociotechnical assemblages shape critically conscious youth publics.

My proposed work investigates how technology-mediated discourse shapes youths\u0027 critical consciousness by analyzing media narratives after police killed Eric Garner. Concurrently, I examine the role of civic data in infrastructuring critically conscious publics within participatory design, aligning public data with YEPs to probe youths\u0027 attachments to matters of concern.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis dissertation proposal aims to advance our knowledge of the infrastructuring work involved in scaffolding youths\u0027 critical consciousness.

Building on these insights, I discuss the precarious nature of infrastructuring these physical and digital spaces, considering the conditions necessary for sociotechnical infrastructures to align with critical pedagogy and support more inclusive democratic deliberation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EInfrastructuring Critically Conscious Networked Publics for a More Inclusive Democracy\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Infrastructuring Critically Conscious Networked Publics for a More Inclusive Democracy "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:09:16","changed_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:10:53","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-11T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-11T13:00:46-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-11T13:00:46-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-11 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-11 17:00:46","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-11 17:00:46","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TSRB 217A or Join via Zoom","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":""}},"689851":{"#nid":"689851","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Avoiding Plagiarism (And Citing Your References Correctly) (Online)","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAll research builds on what others have previously done, but how do you make sure you can cite your references to past scholarship and avoid the appearance of plagiarism?

Leveraging the precision and versatility of 3D and 4D printing, AM enables unprecedented local customisation of material architectures and properties. In this talk, I will present our multidisciplinary research journey, highlighting compliance-engineered multilayers for enhanced performance, morphology-optimized composites, and surface-engineered systems for functional adaptability. I will also discuss nature-inspired materials, including nacreous composites and camouflage systems that emulate biological complexity; high-performance self-sensing systems and 4D-printed adaptive structures; multiscale and hierarchical fibre composites and electrically conductive materials with advanced functionalities; and architected metamaterials featuring 2D and 3D lattices designed for energy absorption, autonomous sensing, failure mitigation, lightweighting, reversible shape transformation, energy storage, water pollutant detection, and thermal management. We demonstrate the ability to control material behaviour at the micro- and nano-scale in 3D and 4D frameworks\u003Cstrong\u003E,\u003C\/strong\u003E which enables precise tuning of strain, stress, and functionality, paving the way for unprecedented performance and fabrication methods. By integrating scalable AM techniques with the design of nano- and micro-architected hierarchical structures, our research is driving the creation of new material classes with extraordinary properties.

In the context of tolerance, induction of regulatory T cells is critical, and antigen specificity can arise from exogenously administered antigens in the form of an inverse vaccine or from endogenous antigens in a site of inflammation. In either case, we explore methods to induce or deliver cytokines to regions of lymph nodes where immunity develops and is regulated. In recent work in allergic asthma, we developed an approach employing glycosylated polymers to deliver allergic antigens and induce regulatory cytokine expression to re-bias immunity back to tolerance, inducing allergen-specific regulatory T cells and thus preventing asthmatic responses to pulmonary antigen challenge. In work in an experimental model of autoimmune neuroinflammation, we are developing an approach to deliver the tolerogenic cytokine IL-10 to all the secondary lymphoid organs of the body from a simple subcutaneous administration. Here, antigen specific Tregs were developed in response to myelin antigens that drain from the inflammation site. In the context of aggression, we have developed an approach to deposit inflammatory cytokines in the tumor microenvironment to tip the balance between cytotoxic T lymphocytes and Tregs, whether by agonizing innate immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells or adaptive immune cells, in particular T cells. With regard to antigens in mounting immune aggression, we have developed cysteine-reactive polymers that bind in situ to the surfaces of tumor cells to direct the adduct to antigen-presenting cells along with polymer-conjugated adjuvant moieties to induce an anti-tumoral vaccine response. Thus, in both contexts, biological functionality can be engineered to guide immunity toward tolerance in inflammation, allergy and autoimmunity and toward aggression in cancer.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBIO\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EJeffrey Hubbell is a pioneer in the field of immuno-modulatory materials whose research spans biology, chemistry, and engineering to generate novel solutions to common health problems. His work focuses on using biomaterials and engineered proteins to enhance the body\u2019s own immune system to fight inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, allergies, and disease states like cancers. With more than 400 papers and 100 issued US patents, Hubbell uses biomaterials and protein engineering approaches to investigate topics in regenerative medicine and immunotherapeutics. In regenerative medicine, he develops both materials and protein therapeutics to address issues such as chronic wound healing in diabetes and bone repair after trauma. In immunotherapeutics, he pursues nanomaterials in vaccination for infectious disease and cancer as well as targeted therapy with RNA, protein-material conjugates for inverse vaccines to induce antigen-specific tolerance in autoimmunity and allergy, and in protein therapy to tip immune balances toward aggression in immuno-oncology and toward tolerance in inflammatory disease.

However, identifying and formulating\u003Cbr\u003Especifications remains a major hurdle for developers in practice. Specy addresses this challenge by automatically\u003Cbr\u003Elearning specifications from observable event traces generated by message exchanges in distributed systems.\u003Cbr\u003EThe system employs a specialized grammar tailored for event-based specifications, incorporating support\u003Cbr\u003Efor quantifiers over events \u2013 a capability essential for capturing the complex behavioral patterns inherent in\u003Cbr\u003Edistributed protocols. Specy utilizes a novel learning procedure that combines grammar-based enumerative\u003Cbr\u003Esearch with dynamic learning from event traces, providing effective control over the specification search. We\u003Cbr\u003Eevaluated Specy on established distributed protocols and industrial case studies, demonstrating its ability to\u003Cbr\u003Esuccessfully learn important protocol specifications. Specy can discover previously unidentified specifications\u003Cbr\u003Eoverlooked by developers, automatically derive inductive invariants that were previously constructed manually\u003Cbr\u003Efor verification purposes, and, through run-time monitoring in production systems, reveal gaps in testing\u003Cbr\u003Ecoverage \u2013 highlighting opportunities to leverage specifications in practice.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMike He is a Princeton PhD student working at the intersection of formal verification and distributed systems.

Although FDA-approved therapies have shown promising results, chronic inflammation and bacterial infections persist, causing tissue damage and worsening quality of life despite a large immune cell presence. This thesis investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of NF-\u03baB signaling during inflammation by developing and applying spatial omics tools at the single-cell level across multiple biological contexts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe first introduce PRISMS, an open-sourced, automated multiplexing pipeline for spatial transcriptomic and proteomic imaging compatible with Nikon widefield and Cephla spinning disk confocal microscopy. Using PRISMS, we apply pSigOmics static fixation to profile over 100,000 mouse fibroblasts stimulated with TNF\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2, revealing a novel asymmetric protein-RNA (APR) relationship between p65 RNA and protein. Graph neural network classification and PHATe trajectory analysis further delineate distinct APR subpopulations among stimulated fibroblasts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe next extend pSigOmics with programmable fixation via helical perfusion to create a continuous gradient of cell response, confirming the APR phenomenon with finer temporal resolution through cross-correlation, generalized additive model smoothing, and pseudotime analyses. Together, static and programmable fixation establish a comprehensive spatiotemporal framework for studying oscillatory translational regulation in single cells.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe then develop graph-based super-resolution protein-protein interaction (GSR-PPI) analysis to predict cancer drug responses from spatial PPI networks in lung adenocarcinoma cells and patient-derived NSCLC tissues, and introduce multiplexed iterative sequential PLA (iseqPLA) to visualize 3D NF-\u03baB supercomplex dynamics. Upstream supercomplexes containing TRAF-5_TRADD and TRAF-5_TRAF-2 undergo rapid dissociation upon cytokine stimulation, inversely correlated with p65 nuclear translocation. Macrophage-fibroblast coculture experiments reveal that CF airway supernatant-exposed macrophages impart a hyperinflammatory phenotype to neighboring fibroblasts through paracrine NF-\u03baB activation. We additionally validate our NF-\u03baB gene panel using scGPT foundation models trained on multi-disease transcriptomic datasets, establishing a mechanistic link between protein-level supercomplex dynamics and transcriptional outputs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThese contributions demonstrate the power of combining spatial multiplexing, temporal reconstruction, and computational modeling to decode immune signaling at single-cell and subcellular resolution, with implications for understanding chronic inflammation in CF and identifying opportune windows for therapeutic intervention.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBioE PhD Defense Presentation- \u0022Timeseries Spatial Omics of Immune Cell Signaling in Inflammation\u0022 -Nicholas Zhang\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Timeseries Spatial Omics of Immune Cell Signaling in Inflammation\u0022"}],"uid":"27917","created_gmt":"2026-04-17 13:09:05","changed_gmt":"2026-04-17 13:10:25","author":"Laura Paige","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-01T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-01T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-01T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-01 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-01 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-01 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":""}},"689820":{"#nid":"689820","#data":{"type":"event","title":"BioE PhD Defense Presentation-  Zixing Fan","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAdvisor\u003C\/strong\u003E: \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJames C.

Its replication depends on the assembly of a protein capsid, making this process an important target for antiviral intervention. This work integrates molecular dynamics simulations and biophysical experiments to investigate how small molecules interact with and modulate the HBV core protein across different structural contexts. First, biophysics-guided approaches were used to identify ligands targeting the inter-dimer assembly interface, showing that small molecules can perturb capsid assembly through changes in inter-subunit interactions. Second, free-energy calculations were conducted to characterize the conformational landscape of a key assembly intermediate, providing insight into structural features that may influence assembly nucleation. Third, a distinct intra-dimer pocket was characterized using fragment-based mapping and pharmacophore modeling, enabling virtual screening and experimental validation of ligands with extended binding modes.

The optimal delivery not only introduces cargo into cells but achieves cytosolic access while preserving cell viability and normal function. Existing approaches often fall short of this balance. Viral and carrier-mediated methods can promote uptake of molecularly encoded genes but are limited by endosomal entrapment and intracellular degradation. Electroporation can disrupt cell membranes but also disturbs normal cellular physiology. These limitations have motivated interest in microfluidic mechanoporation, in which cells are transiently permeabilized through controlled mechanical deformation. However, the mechanism of mechanoporation remains poorly defined and, as such, performance remains difficult to predict and standardize. To bridge the gap, this dissertation establishes a framework connecting device geometry, transient loading dynamics, and delivery outcomes. A key learning is that mechanoporation performance is demonstrated to be better explained by cell loading kinetics than by deformation magnitude alone. Systematic channel width and ridge angle variation demonstrates how tuning force rate, directionality, and loading history improves delivery efficiency, cell survival and experimental consistency. Integration of high-speed trajectory analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and multivariate modeling further reveals that steady-state descriptors such as strain magnitude are insufficient to explain mechanoporation outcomes, which instead, correlate strongly with strain rate and history-dependent hydrodynamic forces. Extending these insights to nanoparticle delivery, imaging analyses demonstrate that optimized device geometries enable deeper intracellular access and improved cargo retention relative to conventional incubation-based approaches. Together, these results provide a force-based framework for mechanoporation that links device design to biologically meaningful intracellular delivery.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBioE PhD Defense Presentation- \u0022Optimization of Forces, Loading Rates and Strain for Cytosolic Delivery using Mechanoporation \u0026nbsp;\u0022- Avi Gupta\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Optimization of Forces, Loading Rates and Strain for Cytosolic Delivery using Mechanoporation  \u0022"}],"uid":"27917","created_gmt":"2026-04-17 12:59:14","changed_gmt":"2026-04-17 13:00:22","author":"Laura Paige","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-06T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-06T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-06T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-06 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-06 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-06 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"EBB CHOA room","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":""}},"689818":{"#nid":"689818","#data":{"type":"event","title":"HotCSE Seminar: ShengYun (Anthony) Peng","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EName: \u003C\/strong\u003ESchool of CSE CS Ph.D. Candidate ShengYun (Anthony) Peng\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003EWednesday, April 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Coda, Room 114 (\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Coda\/@33.7752651,-84.3876426,15z\/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88f5046677950223:0x7fd1ad077b382c98!8m2!3d33.7752651!4d-84.3876426!16s%2Fg%2F11c6lvs7sl?entry=ttu\u0022\u003EGoogle Maps link\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ELunch provided!\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003ESafety Alignment of Generative Foundation Models\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E: Modern LLMs are safety-aligned through supervised finetuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to mitigate harmful, undesirable, or disallowed outputs. Despite ongoing progress, LLMs still exhibit critical safety gaps: models can be jailbroken into revealing harmful content, often overrefuse benign queries, and fail to maintain safety under adversarial scenarios. My dissertation research advances the safety alignment of generative foundation models by developing principled tools, architectures, and training methods that strengthen their robustness and reliability at scale. Specifically, this thesis focuses on three complementary thrusts: a) Understanding and shaping the safety landscape of LLMs, b) Internalizing safety in agentic reasoning intelligence, and c) Grounding safety and robustness in multimodal perception.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E: Anthony is a CS Ph.D. candidate at Georgia Tech working with Polo Chau.

The core idea is that human AI interaction is a communication problem in two directions. In the model to human direction, explanations must compress the model\u2019s internal reasoning into a form that preserves what a person needs to judge, trust, or correct the output. In the human to model direction, prompts must compress the user\u2019s intent into a form that is sufficient to guide model behavior without adding redundant or conflicting signal. This proposal argues that necessity and sufficiency are the right principles for analyzing both directions under one theory. A representation is necessary if removing it changes the outcome, and sufficient if providing it can produce the desired outcome. Building on this view, the research first develops causal, interventional measures of necessity and sufficiency and uses them to study existing explanation methods, showing in preliminary tabular experiments that highly ranked features are not always both necessary and sufficient. It then extends the framework to image models, where it investigates whether standard evaluation metrics truly measure information that survives the model\u2019s internal compression. Finally, it applies the same framework to interactive segmentation, where prompts are analyzed as units of information transfer, classified by their contribution, and selected actively through predictive disagreement using a Bayesian extension of SAM. Together, the proposed work aims to establish a single information theoretic account of how AI systems should communicate with humans and how humans should communicate with AI systems for effective collaborative decision making.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Necessity and Sufficiency: A Framework for Evaluating Information Flow in Human-AI Interaction"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2026-04-16 18:37:40","changed_gmt":"2026-04-16 18:38:54","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-30T13:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-30T15:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-30T15:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-30 17:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-30 19:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-30 19:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 5126, Centergy ","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/261248830865929?p=GB6tcutDY1hEvO6fv6","title":"Microsoft Teams Link "}],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"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":""}},"689794":{"#nid":"689794","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exam - Faaiq Waqar","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EBottom-Up System-Technology Co-design of Emerging Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor Memories for High-Performance and Reconfigurable Computing Machines\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Yu, Advisor\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Hao, Chair\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mukhopadhyay\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe objective of the proposed research is to address the scaling bottlenecks and static power inefficiencies of SRAM by investigating monolithic 3D (M3D) integration of back-end-of-line (BEOL)-compatible amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) memories, including capacitive topologies such as eDRAMs and gain cells and AOS-based SRAM, to address conventional SRAM\u2019s scaling and power limitations while preserving its most desirable attributes.

This dissertation investigates a family of soft, modular, non-biomorphic swimming robots that leverage mechanical compliance and underactuated design to achieve robust locomotion and interaction with complex environments without reliance on complex sensing or feedback control. We present a series of robotic systems and experiments that progressively explore the relationship between body morphology, actuation, and body\u2013environment interaction. First, we demonstrate how a minimal actuation architecture enables diverse locomotion behaviors, including a novel roll rotation maneuver that provides full three-dimensional maneuverability. Next, we show that intrinsic morphological features, such as compliant, vertebra-like body structures and passive foldable fins, allow the robot to traverse narrow gaps and complex obstacles through passive mechanical adaptation. Building on these insights, we investigate how body scaling and structural parameters influence locomotion performance, revealing the existence of an effective body compliance regime that balances deformation and force transmission for efficient propulsion. Finally, we introduce an actively controllable fin system that extends morphological adaptability through fluidic actuation, enabling dynamic stiffness modulation and improved environmental interaction. Together, this work establishes a design framework for underwater robots that integrates maneuverability, compliance, and adaptability, offering a pathway toward robust operation in complex real-world aquatic environments.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EManeuverability and Morphological Adaptability in Soft Underwater Robots for Cluttered Environments\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Maneuverability and Morphological Adaptability in Soft Underwater Robots for Cluttered Environments"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-15 21:16:19","changed_gmt":"2026-04-15 21:17:02","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-24T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-24T16:00:32-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-24T16:00:32-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-24 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-24 20:00:32","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-24 20:00:32","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Remote (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":""}},"689782":{"#nid":"689782","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Haya Helmy","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EStudent Name: Haya Helmy\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: A Model-Based System-of-Systems Architecting Framework for Lunar Base Master Planning, Evaluation, and Design Space Exploration\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: This research addresses the problem of architecting the lunar base system-of-systems for long-term human presence and driven by stakeholder objectives. As global space agencies, militaries, and commercial companies pursue a sustained presence on the lunar surface, there is a need to establish a physical lunar base capable of supporting scientific, commercial, and national objectives while evolving over time. However, current lunar base site plans lack a comprehensive, systematic process for planning the physical layout and do not account for spatial placement, connectivity, environmental constraints, or how the architecture will grow and adapt under changing requirements and increasing operational complexity. This work approaches the lunar base as a complex system-of-systems and develops a model-based systems architecting framework for generating, evaluating, and evolving lunar base architectures. System architecture decisions are formalized and structured to produce architecture instances through a generative process informed by urban planning practices, capturing the mapping of function to form, as well as spatial\/topological and connectivity relationships among the objects of form. The framework leverages model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to capture, query, and trace architectural decisions to the resulting configurations. To enable quantitative evaluation, the framework establishes a connection between MBSE architecture models and multidisciplinary analysis and optimization (MDAO) models through a graph-based transformation mechanism, enabling architecture-specific evaluation of system interactions, resource flows, and infrastructure networks. This allows consistent evaluation of architecture performance while preserving traceability between architectural decisions and analysis results. Given the combinatorial explosion of possible architecture configurations, the design space is characterized by mixed-discrete, hierarchical decision variables and multiple conflicting objectives. To address this system architecture optimization (SAO) problem, population-based multi-objective algorithms augmented with surrogate models are used to efficiently explore the design space and converge to pareto-optimal architectures.\u0026nbsp; In all, this research establishes a repeatable and systematic methodology for lunar base master planning that integrates architecture generation, transformation for evaluation, and optimization. The methodology enables the analysis and evolution of architecture alternatives for long-term, scalable, and adaptable lunar surface infrastructure.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-24, 9 AM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Collaborative Visual Environment (CoVE) Room in Weber Space Science and Technology Building\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Daniel Schrage, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Perry Yang, School of City and Regional Planning\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Jud Ready, GT Space Research Institute\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Balchanos, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA Model-Based System-of-Systems Architecting Framework for Lunar Base Master Planning, Evaluation, and Design Space Exploration\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Model-Based System-of-Systems Architecting Framework for Lunar Base Master Planning, Evaluation, and Design Space Exploration"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-15 21:08:44","changed_gmt":"2026-04-15 21:09:29","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-24T09:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-24T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-24T11:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-24 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-24 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-24 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Collaborative Visual Environment (CoVE) Room in Weber Space Science and Technology Building","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":""}},"689781":{"#nid":"689781","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Defense by Victor Yang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Victor Yang\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 Final Examination (Defense)\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDegree Program: Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ETitle: A Design Methodology For Resilient Cislunar Space Domain Awareness Architectures\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: Cislunar space is the next frontier of human space exploration as scientific and commercial missions by national agencies and private entities are driving a renewed race to the Moon. Long-term human presence in this domain depends on supporting infrastructure, of which space domain awareness is a critical component that tackles the detection, tracking, and identification of space objects. SDA has been crucial for near-Earth applications, and the same need will follow as activity in cislunar space grows. Systems resilience as developed for terrestrial infrastructure and for space mission success motivates this work on resilient SDA design. Traditional design processes consider resilience analysis as robustness or disruption analysis after the conceptual design phase, when high-level performance and cost trades are already conducted. Layering resilience onto fixed architectures yields a narrow solution space and weak traceability between resilience outcomes and design decisions. The core technical barrier that blocks resilience from entering the conceptual phase is the modeling complexity of resilience evaluation, where it must be concretely defined, simulated, and measured rapidly enough to participate within the optimization loop. This thesis develops a methodology that brings system-of-systems resilience into the conceptual design of cislunar SDA architectures through a phase-based performance framework, with three research questions derived from the technical gaps. First, a flow-weighted supra-adjacency matrix (FW-SAM) was developed as a graph-based replacement for discrete-event DTN simulation. Encoding sensing, communication, and relay flow in a single sparse matrix, the FW-SAM evaluates downlink efficiency directly from its structure. The second research question addresses graph-based robustness metrics, with sensor performance loss, downlink efficiency loss, and relay efficiency impact derived directly from the FW-SAM. The third research question formulates an analytic resilience integral combining preemption probability, robustness, recovery time, and an adaptation trajectory with a phase-decomposed cost model, where the integral couples resilience investment to the architecture being designed. The validated methods are composed into a multi-objective optimization spanning constellation architecture and resilience phase variables. All-in-One Integrated Resilience Optimization (AIRO) jointly optimizes all variables with, tested against two sequential baselines, with and without resilience optimization. AIRO produced wider Pareto spread on all three objectives and discovered more than twice the architecture classes of the sequential approach, including constellations with lower sensor capability paired with high adaptation investment that the sequential methods cannot find. The resilience objective also drove orbit diversity beyond what performance and cost optimization together could produce. The graph surrogate, the analytic resilience integral, and the architecture-coupled cost model make resilience tractable inside the computational budget of evolutionary optimization, enabling enhanced resilience tradespace exploration for future cislunar SDA systems.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-24, 1:30 PM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Code\/Cove\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Brian Gunter, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Kyriakos Vamvoudakis, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Balchanos, chool of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Steffens, Draper Laboratory\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA Design Methodology For Resilient Cislunar Space Domain Awareness Architectures\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Design Methodology For Resilient Cislunar Space Domain Awareness Architectures"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-15 21:06:34","changed_gmt":"2026-04-15 21:07:03","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-24T13:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-24T15:00:16-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-24T15:00:16-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-24 17:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-24 19:00:16","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-24 19:00:16","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Code\/Cove","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":""}},"689780":{"#nid":"689780","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Angel Mario Zarate Villazon","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Angel Mario Zarate Villazon\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: A Model-Based Methodology Supporting Commonality Integration in the Lunar Surface Mobility Vehicle Family\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: The goal of the Artemis program is to establish a sustainable lunar settlement, which requires surface mobility vehicles capable of diverse, evolving missions. These use cases support exploration and infrastructure deployment activities. With challenges related to affordability and complexity, NASA has established commonality and interoperability, which relate to sharing common parts and ensuring diverse systems are compatible, as key design principles. Despite the widespread success of leveraging common vehicle platforms in the automotive and aerospace industries, current proposals for lunar surface vehicles remain largely treated as isolated systems rather than a cohesive family of systems where commonality can be leveraged. This fragmented approach overlooks the benefits that commonality can bring, such as reduced development costs and simplified lunar surface logistics and maintenance. However, transitioning to a family of systems perspective introduces complex tradeoffs between commonality and mission-specific performance, necessitating a methodology to identify where commonality should be integrated. To navigate this tradeoff, this research proposes a hybrid approach that leverages the analytical commonality and performance assessments of Product Family Design with the variability management frameworks from Product Line Engineering to support commonality integration decisions. The hybrid approach addresses three main phases of the decision-making process for commonality integration: Modeling of the variability of the lunar surface mobility family of vehicles across its operational, functional, and physical layers of abstraction in a feature model to elicit alternative designs through generative artificial intelligence. Linking simulation instances to the feature model to automatically generate physics-based constraints between these alternatives and ensure the feasibility of design alternatives. Evaluation of the commonality and performance tradeoff and the sensitivity of metric selection for the decision on integrating commonality across parts in different vehicles of the family. Overall, these contributions formulate a methodology that provides decision support on where it is appropriate to leverage commonality.\u0026nbsp; This research enables physics-driven decisions on a comprehensive description of the alternatives to decide commonality and interoperability. Ultimately, these results support the deployment of robust mobility capability across the lunar terrain through a family of vehicles that addresses the various needs for sustained human habitation on the lunar surface.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-05-01, 9:30 am\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: COVE (Weber Building)\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Dimitri Mavris (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EProf. Daniel Schrage, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EProf. Yashwanth Kumar Nakka, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Michael Balchanos, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Hugo Guillermo Chale Gongora, Airbus\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA Model-Based Methodology Supporting Commonality Integration in the Lunar Surface Mobility Vehicle Family\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Model-Based Methodology Supporting Commonality Integration in the Lunar Surface Mobility Vehicle Family"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-15 20:44:59","changed_gmt":"2026-04-15 20:45:31","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-01T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-01T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-01T11:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-01 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-01 15:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-01 15:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"COVE (Weber Building)","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":""}},"689779":{"#nid":"689779","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Emily Toph","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEmily Toph\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAdvisor: Prof. Eric Vogel\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\u003EInterface-Engineered MBE of InSe: Early-Stage Growth Control and Hall Sensor Performance\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cem\u003EOn\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EWednesday, April 29 at 11 a.m. (EDT)\u003Cbr\u003EPettit Microelectronics Building Room 102B\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eand\/or\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVirtually via MS Teams or Zoom\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/253152803479756?p=3APd10saNQuRogNWn9\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022Meeting join\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/253152803479756?p=3APd10saNQuRogNWn9\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMeeting ID: 253 152 803 479 756\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPasscode: Nr2U7Wa9\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. Eric Vogel \u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering (advisor)\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Prof. Mark Losego\u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Prof. Faisal Alamgir \u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Prof. Alan Doolittle \u2013 School of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Dr. Brent Wagner \u2013 Georgia Tech Research Institute\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; This work aims to enable high-sensitivity, BEOL-compatible InSe Hall sensors by clarifying how the very first layers of film growth set the ultimate limits on mobility and noise. Although indium monoselenide (InSe) offers high intrinsic mobility, a layered van der Waals structure, and a suitable bandgap, MBE-grown films typically underperform exfoliated crystals because defects and competing phases are \u201cbaked in\u201d during the first one to three monolayers at the substrate.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; To address this challenge, interface-engineered MBE is used to deliberately shape nucleation and early-stage growth. Metal-precursor layers, chalcogen pretreatments, and time-structured flux schemes are tuned to control nucleation density, phase stability, and grain coalescence, with the goal of producing phase-pure, continuous, low-roughness InSe films within BEOL thermal budgets. Structural and morphological characterization (Raman phase fraction analysis, AFM, TEM) is used to map how these interface-engineering strategies change phase composition, grain size, and interface disorder.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The influence of substrate bonding and symmetry is further examined by applying these interface-engineered approaches across van der Waals, ionic, and covalent or amorphous platforms.

Sumner, associate professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, for a discussion on how the rise of e-commerce is reshaping local governance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EAbstract\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe internet has fundamentally changed small businesses in the United States. Social media and e-commerce platforms have enabled new business models, many of which can be operated from home offices and basements. Entrepreneurs are less dependent on brick-and-mortar presences than ever. We argue that this shift has dramatic effects on small business owners\u2019 political behaviors and identity. The small-business-owner-as-civic-leader archetype that features so heavily in American civic and political life is not inherent to entrepreneurial activity, but is rather the product of interactions that are specific to brick-and-mortar businesses, especially when co-located with other brick-and-mortar businesses. Brick-and-mortarness, we argue, exposes business owners to a plethora of routine interactions with the government (via parking, construction, building permits, etc.) that catalyzes (sometimes collective) political actions. These mundane political actions teach small business owners how local politics works, but also socialize them to see themselves as political beings, with long term and broad impacts on how they relate to local politics and civic life. We test this using data from a statewide survey on Minnesota small business owners and through a new dataset of small business owners\u2019 participation in the January 23, 2026 anti-ICE strike in Minnesota. We find consistent support for our theory. An implication of this is that the technological innovations of the \u0026nbsp;internet suppresses the political socialization of business owners into individual and collective political actors.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPlease join us for a discussion on how e-commerce undermines local politics.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Please join us for a discussion on how e-commerce undermines local politics."}],"uid":"36009","created_gmt":"2026-04-14 19:46:42","changed_gmt":"2026-04-14 19:52:04","author":"cwhittle9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-28T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-28T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-28T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-28 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-28 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-28 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Habersham Building, Room G17","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEric Koob\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:ekoob3@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eekoob3@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689638":{"#nid":"689638","#data":{"type":"event","title":"SCPC presents: Activate Games-Buckhead!","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEach dynamic game room has interactive technology that reacts in real time, ensuring an adrenaline-filled adventure.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA play time slot at Activate Games Buckhead with\u0026nbsp;games that test your physical and mental abilities.

Accurate predictions in early mission analysis enable guidance and control design, establishment of mission requirements, landing footprint estimation, and space debris risk assessment. Current early mission analysis tools face a fundamental trade-off: simplified models are computationally fast but neglect key physics such as aerodynamics and ablation; high-fidelity multi-physics simulations are accurate but computationally expensive for uncertainty studies. This work proposes a mission-driven framework that bridges this gap by coupling a 3-DOF non-planar trajectory propagator with FUN3D computational fluid dynamics and FEAR ablation analysis to generate high-fidelity training data, which is then used to develop machine-learned surrogate models for aerodynamic coefficients and ablation response. Training data is concentrated near a nominal trajectory; its plausible dispersions with altitude, velocity, and vehicle geometry are used as inputs, and lift coefficient, drag coefficient, mass loss, and frontal area recession are used as outputs. The coupled Trajectory-CFD Solver has been developed and validated against the Stardust sample return capsule re-entry. The framework predicts the landing site within 41 miles of the actual location, reducing the prediction error by nearly half compared to a conventional low-fidelity trajectory propagator. Remaining work includes data generation improvements, surrogate model training and deployment, integration of the surrogates into the trajectory propagator, and Monte Carlo uncertainty quantification of landing footprints. The resulting framework will demonstrate how mission-specific surrogate modeling can preserve the fidelity of high-fidelity solvers at a fraction of the computational cost, advancing early-phase reentry mission analysis.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-05-04, 11:00 AM\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: ESM 108\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. John Dec (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Krish Ahuja, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Alvaro Romero-Calvo, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EImproving Atmospheric Entry Environment Prediction Using Machine-Learning Surrogate Models\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Improving Atmospheric Entry Environment Prediction Using Machine-Learning Surrogate Models"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:52:25","changed_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:52:25","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-05-04T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-05-04T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-05-04T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-05-04 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-05-04 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-05-04 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"ESM 108","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166866","name":"MS 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":""}},"689741":{"#nid":"689741","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Reid Fly","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Reid Fly\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdvisor: Dr. Timothy Lieuwen\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: Characterization and Modeling of Nonlinearly Interacting Thermoacoustic Modes in a High Pressure Gas Turbine Combustor\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EAbstract: Thermoacoustic instability is a widely-recognized performance limitation found in a variety of combustion systems, and pushing operations towards higher power and reduced emissions has created conditions where these instabilities are more prevalent. Because of their importance in determining operability limits and structural loads, the effort to understand, model, and predict these pressure and heat release oscillations has garnered much attention. Decades of experimental analysis and modeling work has resulted in a very robust understanding of the linear behavior and stability of thermoacoustic modes. However, numerous experiments have noted the presence of limit cycles, intermittency, and chaos which cannot be understood through linear analyses. Further complicating these systems is the presence of multiple linearly-unstable modes whose coupling can cause yet more complex behaviors. This work proposes to contribute to the understanding of the nonlinear dynamics of coupled thermoacoustic modes through both experimental characterization and model building. A novel experimental facility will explore both the steady-state and transient behavior of a system with multiple interacting modes. By using a hydraulically-actuated variable-length exhaust, this test setup can precisely control acoustic mode shapes without altering operating conditions. A data campaign will characterize the dynamics of global and spatially-resolved heat release and acoustic pressure in this rig at high speed across gas-turbine relevant operating conditions. To extract more generalizable information about the underlying physics in the system, a reduced order model will be constructed to reproduce the observed behaviors. By connecting model terms to physical phenomena, the model will help uncover the mechanisms underpinning the system dynamics. In turn, this model and the associated learnings will aid in the modeling of thermoacoustics in pursuit of better design and more predictable operation of gas turbine combustors.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDate and time: 2026-04-28, 9:30 am - 11:30 am\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ELocation: Food Processing Technology Building - Auditorium 102\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ECommittee:\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Timothy Lieuwen (advisor), School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Timothy Lieuwen, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Benjamin Emerson, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003EDr. Keegan Moore, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ECharacterization and Modeling of Nonlinearly Interacting Thermoacoustic Modes in a High Pressure Gas Turbine Combustor\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Characterization and Modeling of Nonlinearly Interacting Thermoacoustic Modes in a High Pressure Gas Turbine Combustor"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:37:39","changed_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:38:23","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-28T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-28T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-28T11:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-28 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-28 15:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-28 15:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":" Food Processing Technology Building - Auditorium 102","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":""}},"689740":{"#nid":"689740","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Yidong Hua","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPhD Thesis Proposal\u0026nbsp;Announcement\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStudent Name: Yidong Hua\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThesis Title: Assessing the feasibility and impacts of full electrification on the pulp and paper industry\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThesis Advisor: Marta Hatzell\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThesis Co-Advisor: Micah Ziegler\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECommittee Members: Sankar Nair (ChBE), Mattew Realff (ChBE), Chris Luettgen (ChBE), Joe Bozeman (Civil and Public Policy)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDate: 04\/28\/2026\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETime: 3:00 - 5:00 PM\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocation: MRDC 3515\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAssessing the feasibility and impacts of full electrification on the pulp and paper industry\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Assessing the feasibility and impacts of full electrification on the pulp and paper industry"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:36:12","changed_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:36:40","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-28T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-28T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-28T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-28 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-28 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-28 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MRDC 3515","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":""}},"689739":{"#nid":"689739","#data":{"type":"event","title":"PhD Proposal by Youngjin Kwon","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYoungjin Kwon\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E(Advisor: Prof. Seung Soon Jang \u0026amp;\u0026nbsp;Prof. W.

Kirigami-patterned structures are first introduced to achieve strain isolation by redistributing mechanical deformation away from the sensing interface, enabling stable EMG acquisition in freely moving ALS animal models. These structures are further optimized through systematic analysis of kirigami geometries, where hierarchical fractal patterns demonstrate improved strain isolation, reduced mechanical instability, and enhanced signal quality in dynamic applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo address non-conformal wearable systems, we develop a material-based approach using polyborosiloxane (PBS), a viscoelastic polymer with dynamic boroxine networks. Molecular dynamics simulations and rheological experiments reveal that boroxine-rich networks provide frequency-stable energy dissipation, enabling effective suppression of motion artifacts in EOG systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis work establishes a comprehensive framework that combines structural and material design strategies to enable robust bio-signal acquisition across diverse wearable platforms.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EProf. Antonio Facchetti\u0026nbsp;\u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EProf. Shucong Li\u0026nbsp;\u2013 School of Materials Science and Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EProf. Peter Hesketh \u2013 School of Mechanical Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDevelopment of\u0026nbsp;soft materials and\u0026nbsp;kirigami-based\u0026nbsp;mechanical decoupling for\u0026nbsp;motion-artifact\u0026nbsp;reduction in\u0026nbsp;wearable\u0026nbsp;electronics\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Development of soft materials and kirigami-based mechanical decoupling for motion-artifact reduction in wearable electronics"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:34:19","changed_gmt":"2026-04-14 16:34:52","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-28T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-28T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-28T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-28 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-28 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-28 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Marcus Nanotechnology Research Center Room #2107 ","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":""}},"689730":{"#nid":"689730","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exam - Dong Suk Kang","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle:\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cem\u003ETime-Oriented Data Conversion Techniques for High-Speed and Energy-Efficient Analog-to-Digital Converters\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Shaolan Li, Advisor\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Gu, Chair\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Sathe\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe object of the proposed research is to develop a high-speed, energy-efficient analog-to-digital converter architecture based on hybrid voltage-time-domain signal processing.

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.

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. Finally, we compare these designs with existing solutions and propose two promising directions for future investigation: a Fibonacci hybrid converter and a 6S quadruple step-down (QSD) hybrid converter.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Efficient Power Delivery Using High-voltage DC-DC Converters for Data-Centers"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2026-04-03 21:17:28","changed_gmt":"2026-04-03 21:18:56","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-24T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-24T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-24T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-24 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-24 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-24 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Online","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meet\/243338998834406?p=3DdNeusZPYzaO2gsBG","title":"Microsoft Teams Meeting link"}],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"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":""}},"689453":{"#nid":"689453","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Digital Learning Team: Canvas Office Hours","body":[{"value":"\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Digital Learning Team is excited to offer virtual and monthly open office hours for drop-in assistance.\u202fGeorgia Tech faculty, staff, and TAs are welcome to drop in to ask questions about Canvas features and functionalities, learn about available digital learning tools integrated with Canvas, and brainstorm creative ways to use Canvas in your class.\u202fPlease grab your coffee, tea, or favorite beverage, and join us for Canvas Office Hours!

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":""}},"689422":{"#nid":"689422","#data":{"type":"event","title":"AI \u0026 Health Workshop","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003ECo-hosted by the Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience, the Institute for Data Engineering and Science, and the Wallace H.

This represents a fundamental shift from AI as a classroom presence to educational infrastructure. Neuroscience now confirms what learning designers have long known: scaffolding, sequence, and cognitive friction are not optional features of learning\u2014they are its foundations. General-purpose AI, deployed without pedagogical alignment, risks removing that friction, accumulating \u201ccognitive debt\u201d rather than foundational understanding.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, Pratschke introduces \u003Cem\u003EGenerativism\u003C\/em\u003E, her design approach for creating generative learning in a world where humans learn and work in partnership with AI, and the three integrated frameworks that operationalize it: (1) a Contextual Framework identifying four essential dimensions\u2014cognitive, learner, pedagogical, and technical; (2) TPAIK, which reimagines the established TPACK framework to define the intelligences required of AI systems; and (3) the Agentic Community of Inquiry (ACoI), an adaptation of the Community of Inquiry model that provides a structure for multi-agent learning environments.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs AI moves from language to experience\u2014from agentic systems to world models that generate entire simulated environments\u2014the stakes for pedagogical design only increase. These frameworks provide the foundations for designing learning that takes place not just with AI, but inside the worlds it creates. The role of the educator is shifting\u2014from consumer of AI tools to designer and creator of AI systems\u2014and these frameworks serve as a guide.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiography:\u003C\/strong\u003E Mair\u00e9ad Pratschke is a researcher, strategist, and advisor who has worked at the intersection of digital technology and education for more than 25 years.

Transcending traditional educational models, TrEd is a living and breathing movement striving to redefine education as a journey of exploration; it champions the belief that genuine learning blooms not in confined classrooms, but in the spaces that nurture students\u2019 confidence, adaptability, and empathy while simultaneously equipping them with the tools necessary to make meaningful contributions to society.2 At the heart of TrEd is an unwavering and resolved commitment to placing students at the very center of their own transformation, where curiosity meets courage and every challenge becomes a seed for growth. Through a wide range of experiential initiatives, TrEd empowers the next generation of changemakers by cultivating leadership skills and equipping them with the inner flame to question and uplift.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EAmong its most treasured offerings are the Mentoring Talks,3 where luminaries from around the world candidly share transformative moments from their professional journeys, fostering a growth mindset and an appreciation of perseverance among students. Over the years, these inspiring talks have shown the voices of the world\u2019s most distinguished minds, including Nobel Laureates, offering students a path paved with determination and a North Star to guide their aspirations. At the same time, the Medical Research Volunteer Program (MRVP)4 and the International Medical Research Volunteer Program (MRVP-Int\u2019l) both create valuable pathways for undergraduate explorers by drawing them into the process of hands-on research, developing their scientific rigor and curiosity while also providing them with precious networking opportunities with researchers and research institutions early on. On top of that, the ChemCarnival brings chemistry to life in a whirlwind of color and celebration.5 As the largest STEM event in the MENA region, ChemCarnival exemplifies TrEd\u2019s mission to break down barriers in STEM by highlighting science as a creative and joyful pursuit where formulas are turned into fireworks, encouraging the next generation to see science as a festival to join, not a mountain to climb in fear. In addition, spirited STEM competitions6 and the Makhlouf Haddadin Lectureship7 engage both the AUB community and the broader public, promoting a culture of lifelong learning and intellectual exploration.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EIn an age marked by rapid change, TrEd\u2019s mission is to train a generation of transformative leaders who possess the courage and critical thinking required to challenge the status quo, adapt to crises, and inspire positive change within their communities.
