News and Announcements

We are excited to add Professor Hao Chen of the Department of Statistics as the newest member of GGAM! Professor Chen's research develops nonparametric methods and theory for moderate- and high-dimensional, network-valued, and other complex data.

Dr. Esha Datta, GGAM PhD ’23, has received the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers Most Promising Professional Award following her nomination by Sandia National Laboratories.

Graduate student Kim Calabrese has been awarded a highly competitive NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, one of only 2,500 recipients selected from 14,000 applicants nationwide.

Recent PhD alum Joshua Petrack has been selected as the recipient of the UC Davis Allen G. Marr Prize, an honor recognizing the most outstanding doctoral dissertations each year.

We are excited to add Prof. Greg Kuperberg of the Department of Mathematics as the newest member of GGAM! Prof. Kuperberg's research interests include quantum computing, computational complexity, and numerical integration.

We are excited to add Prof. Yubei Chen of the Department of Computer Science as the newest member of GGAM! Prof. Chen’s research sits at the intersection of computational neuroscience and deep unsupervised learning.

We are excited to add Prof. Anuj Kumar of the Department of Mathematics as the newest member of GGAM! Prof. Kumar's research lies at the intersection of fluid dynamics and partial differential equations, combining mathematical analysis, computational and theoretical approaches to make progress on questions related to transport and mixing in turbulent flows.

Graduate students Kelli Gutierrez and Jon Forstater were honored with Best Poster Awards at the 2025 SIAM Northern California Chapter (SIAM NCC) meeting. Their work showcases the depth, creativity, and interdisciplinary reach of research happening in our graduate program.
