Virginia Tech’s Fall Commencement ceremony for the Graduate School is now underway (livestream here) and seven students from the Sanghani Center are among those receiving degrees. “This has been a tough year and they successfully navigated obstacles caused by the COVID19 pandemic to achieve their academic goals and we are very proud of them,” said Naren Ramakrishnan, the Thomas L. Phillips […]
At the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2021) earlier this month, Yi Zeng, a Ph.D. student in electrical and computer engineering, gave a poster presentation on “Rethinking the Backdoor Attacks’ Triggers: A Frequency Perspective.” Among the paper’s collaborators is his advisor Ruoxi Jia. Zeng was a master’s degree student at the University of California San Diego when he […]
Having the opportunity to apply state-of-the-art machine learning models to bioinformatics problems as an undergraduate motivated M. Maruf to take a deep dive into machine learning and deep learning as a Ph.D. student in computer science at Virginia Tech which he chose because of its exemplary research and top-notch facilities. “Dr. Anuj Karpatne’s unique view towards solving real-world […]
Conferences have been a big part of Arka Daw’s life as a Ph.D. student this past academic year. Daw presented “Physics-Guided Architecture (PGA) of Neural Networks for Quantifying Uncertainty in Lake Temperature Modeling” in proceedings at the 2020 SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM), and “PID-GAN: A GAN Framework based on a Physics-informed Discriminator for Uncertainty Quantification with […]
