Joshua Osborne wins the outstanding student presentation award of the 2019 Texas APS meeting2019-10-26T00:00:00+00:00/2019/10/26/Joshua-Osborne-outstanding-presentation-award<p>It is our great pleasure to announce that <a href="/people/#joshua-alexander-osborne" target="_blank">Joshua Alexander Osborne</a>, a senior undergraduate student of the CDSLab and the Department of Physics at UT Arlington, has won the outstanding student presentation award of the 2019 Texas section meeting of the American Physical Society. The meeting was held in Lubbock, TX, Oct 24-26, 2019. Joshua presented his most recent work in the field of High-Energy Astrophysics, on the relationship between the lag observed in the lightcurves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) at different energy bands and the relationship of these lags with the GRB intrinsic luminosities. For this work, Joshua used the data in the largest catalog of GRBs available to this date: the BATSE catalog of 2704 GRBs. Since BATSE GRBs do not have measured redshift, Joshua used the predicted redshifts of BATSE GRBs from the earlier works in the lab to compute the intrinsic brightness of individual GRBs. Using this data, he was then able to reconstruct the long-held relationship between the lag and luminosity of GRBs. His preliminary results indicate that the strength of the lag-luminosity relationship, as hypothesized in the GRB community, is likely weaker than what is currently perceived.</p>
<p>What makes Joshua’s award unique is the fact that he was presenting the results of his first-ever research project in Physics for the first time in his academic life at a conference. Joshua intends to publish the final results of his works in a peer-reviewed journal in the following months.</p>

Data Science with Python - Fall 20192019-08-22T00:00:00+00:00/2019/08/22/DSP2019F<p>
This 2019 fall semester, I will be teaching
<a href="https://www.cdslab.org/DSP2019F/about/" target="_blank">
PHYS 5391 - Data Science with Python
</a>
in the College of Science at the University of Texas at Arlington. The focus of the course will be on using the high-level programming language Python to quickly review the foundations of scientific programming, and then make effective use of the tools available in Python towards learning Data Science concepts and solving relevant real-world problems. All the course material and news will be available on-the-fly on the
<a href="https://www.cdslab.org/DSP2019F/" target="_blank">
website
</a>
that I have designed for this course.

Travis Driver starts graduate school at the Georgia Institute of Technology2019-08-17T00:00:00+00:00/2019/08/17/Travis-Driver-starts-graduate-school-at-gatech<p>It is our great pleasure to announce that a former senior undergraduate member of our lab, <a href="/people/#travis-p.-driver" target="_blank">Travis Driver</a>, has accepted an offer of admission from the Department of Aerospace at Georgia Institute of Technology. Travis will officially start his Ph.D. studies in fall 2019 at Georgia Tech. Travis joined the research efforts of our lab in 2017, upon taking a course in Python programming and computational engineering. He was able to quickly learn multiple different languages in addition to Python, including Fortran/C/C++, and contributed to our research in the field of machine learning algorithm development. The same year, Travis received several prestigious internships from NASA. Upon concluding his internships, Travis decided to pursue graduate studies in the field of Aerospace Engineering and received admissions to multiple schools, including Stanford, Georgia Tech, UT Austin, TAMU, and CU Boulder. Upon evaluating his choices and plans, Travis decided to begin his Ph.D. studies as part of Georgia Tech. Congratulations Travis!</p>
