Rahmatullah Roche Set to Join TSYS School Faculty in August

The TSYS School of Computer Science announced today that Rahmatullah Roche will be joining its faculty as an assistant professor in August of 2024. Roche is currently enrolled in the doctoral program in computer science at Virginia Polytechnic Institue and State University, where he is scheduled to earn a PhD next month. A recipient of the 2023 Pratt Fellowship Award, Roche's research portfolio already includes a number of journal publications. In 2020 he coauthored a study appearing in PLoS ONE on distance-based protein folding. He followed that in 2021 with publications in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, and PLoS Computational Biology. In 2022 he added another publication in Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, which he bolstered in 2023 with additional publications in Homology Modeling: Methods and Protocols, Bioinformatics Advances, and PLoS Computational Biology. Two of these journals — PLoS ONE and PLoS Computational Biology — are A-rated according to Scimago, while another three — Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, and Bioinformatics Advances — are on the verge of that designation. Roche's overall research interests lie in computational biology, applied machine learning, data science and bioinformatics, optimization, and human-computer interaction. Currently, his research is primarily focused on macro-molecular predictive modeling, with a specific emphasis on intra- and inter-molecular interaction prediction using cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques. Prior to enrolling in the PhD program at Virginia Tech, he earned a B.S. in computer science and engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (in 2016) and an M.S. in computer science and software engineering from Auburn University. To date, Roche's research has garnered 46 Google Scholar citations, with the two most highly cited individual studies being his 2022 publication in Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics and his 2021 study in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, respectively. Turner Business welcomes Roche to the TSYS School's computer science faculty.

Turner College Grad Publishes Academic Study on Corporate Culture and Strategy

Former Turner College student Tamara Todorova , now an associate professor of economics at American University in Bulgaria (AUB), recently published a study on corporate culture and strategy. Todorova earned an MBA from the Turner College in 1996 and then went on to earn a doctorate in international economics from the University of Economics - Varna in 2001. She has been on the faculty at AUB since August of 2000. Todorova's study, which appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Business Performance Management , investigates how corporate culture helps to economize on the transaction costs of internal organization. As she explains, the dimensions of corporate culture that assist in this task include increasing trust and reducing intrafirm opportunism. Todorova's study demonstrates that setting common goals and a common direction reduces the sizeable costs of internal organization. Tamara's prior research appears in Economics of Transition , International ...
