Samuel Adeyemo
a chemical engineering doctoral student, had his research published in the peer-reviewed journal Computers & Chemical Engineering. Adeyemo’s work develops a new machine learning algorithm (BIDSAM) that outperforms popular existing methods like ALAMO and SINDy. The mentorship of his advisor Debangsu Bhattacharyya, GE Plastics professor in the chemical and biomedical engineering department, helped him fulfill this accomplishment.

Andrew Gautier
a computer science student, recently had the opportunity to present at the NASA IV&V facility in Fairmont and was awarded a NASA undergraduate fellowship. During the event, he engaged with experienced engineers and scientists, especially in the aerospace industry. Gautier’s research applies natural language processing and machine learning to the process of building better vulnerability forecasting models. Throughout the research process, Statler College has provided him with a solid support system and faculty mentors, Dale Dzielski research associate professor and Tom Devine teaching assistant professor both in the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, have served as sources of encouragement. Looking towards the future, Gautier stated, “I am excited to finish my junior and senior year strong and want to keep producing better and better results.”

Raphael Oladokun
a chemical engineering graduate student, recently had his second first-authored manuscript published in Nature Scientific Reports, the 5th most-cited journal in the world (Clarivate Analytics, 2023). The article was co-authored with Ezekiel O. Adekanmbi and the 2022 MESA Lab summer high school interns, Vanessa An and Isha Gangavaram, under the supervision of Soumya Srivastava, assistant professor in the chemical and biomedical engineering department.
Through this exciting publication, the group demonstrated how microfluidics are at the forefront of single cell analysis technology. The study investigated the dielectric properties of erythrocytes (red blood cells) and their responses to metabolic stress, temperature, and storage duration. Also highlighted was the relevance of this research in membrane physiology, clinical hematology, and transfusion medicine.

Peter Yegorov
a computer science master's student, and the team from the SG-REAL lab recently published a paper proposing a Cyber Digital Twin intended for testing Smart Grid cybersecurity tools in a safe environment. Yegorov traveled to Asheville, NC to present the paper’s findings at the 2023 North American Power Symposium and won third place for the best student paper award. The Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources played an important role in this accomplishment, as Yegorov worked on the paper in the lab of Anurag Srivastava, professor and chair of the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, for one year as his senior capstone project.
