Graduating Class Reflects Interdisciplinary Nature of Computational Science and Engineering

It’s Fall 2021 Commencement Week at Georgia Tech and the School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) is set to welcome nearly 50 new alumni during ceremonies at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Friday.

Seven School of CSE students are set to receive their doctoral degrees during the Ph.D. Commencement Ceremony, which begins at 9 a.m. They are:

• Rodrigo Borela Valente (Ph.D. CSE CEE 21) advised by School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Professor J. David Frost
• Scott Freitas (Ph.D CSE ML 21) advised by School of CSE Associate Professor Polo Chau
• Kasimir G. Gabert (Ph.D. CS 21) advised by School of CSE Professor Ümit V. Çatalyürek
• Nimisha Roy (Ph.D. CSE CEE 21) advised by School of CEE Professor J. David Frost
• Ankit Srivastava (Ph.D. ML 21) advised by School of CSE Professor Srinivas Aluru
• Abdurrahman Yasar (Ph.D. CS 21) advised by School of CSE Professor Ümit V. Çatalyürek
• Yuyu Zhang (Ph.D. CS 21) advised by former School of CSE Associate Professor Le Song

“These new Ph.D. graduates along with our new MS graduates have diverse expertise and interests, and their academic and professional pursuits from here will certainly cover a broad spectrum,” said School of CSE Chair and Regents' Professor Haesun Park.

“What they share is a passion, honed at Georgia Tech, for developing data and computation based approaches to find answers to questions that truly impact people’s lives.” 

Along with seven new Ph.D. graduates, 42 students are receiving their Master of Science in Computational Science and Engineering degrees at the Master’s Commencement Ceremony set for 1 p.m. on Friday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.   

Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of CSE, these students focused their work on a variety of domains including aerospace engineering, biology, industrial design, mathematics, and other fields.
