CBI Student Awarded SRC Grant
GSCS PhD student, Abhishek Phadke, was awarded a Semiconductor Research Foundation (SRC) grant through Texas A&M Research and Innovation (TAMUCC R&I). Funds from his proposal titled “Resilient Operations of Unmanned Aerial System of Systems” will be used to purchase a set of microdrones to prototype the collaborative multi-UAV methods he will develop for his PhD research.
Hot Off the Press, New Article!
CBI researcher, Antonio Medrano, had an article published by PLOS.org today. The article discusses the impacts that data representations have and how they may or may not distort outcomes. The article focuses on two common spatial data preparations: 1) the connectivity of the network generated by connecting raster cells to their neighbors, and 2) the range of the attribute scale for assigning costs. Such analyses involve locating a linear feature by performing shortest path analysis on raster terrain data and are commonly used to locate transmission lines, where the results could have major implications on project cost and environmental impact.

CBI Students Recognized at National Conference
CBI students, Hamid Kamangir and Hue Dinh, were recognized for their presentations at the American Meteorological Society’s 20th Conference on Artificial Intelligence which was held virtually last month from January 10-15. Hamid Kamangir placed third and Hue Dinh placed fourth (honorable mention) at last month’s conference. Hamid Kamangir presented on his paper, FogNet: A Multiscale 3D CNN with an Attention Mechanism and a Dense Block for Fog Predictions, and Hue Dinh presented on his paper, Deep Learning Predictions of Coastal Fog Using Autoencoders.
The American Meteorological Society’s 20th Conference on Artificial Intelligence was held at the 101st Annual Meeting, from 10-14 January 2021 in New Orleans. The theme for the 101st Annual Meeting was “strengthening engagement with communities through our science and service”. The American Meteorological Society’s was founding in 1919 and its mission has been to advance the atmospheric and related sciences, technologies, applications, and services for the benefit of society.
