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.

Grant Hits Ground Running as New Turner College Marketing Intern

The Turner College's new marketing intern Lizzy Grant , a senior marketing major from Newnan who previously attended Gordon State College, where she played varsity soccer, and is scheduled to graduate from the Turner College in May of 2024, has hit the ground running in her new position. She recently played a large role in the creation of a video tour of the Synovus Center, the main campus home of the Turner College. The video helps to guide new students on where to go in the building and who they can talk to if they help. The video showcases the Student Services Center, the main lobby, and more. The video is played as part of a loop on video screens placed throughout the Synovus Center. Lizzy's list of activities at CSU is impressive. She is the Treasurer of the Turner College's Marketing Club, the President of Marketing for the Turner College's chapter of the Financial Management Association, and an Ambassador for the Turner College. She is also the Treasurer of her s

Jung Exploring Influence of Confucianism on Luxury Brand Performance in China, Japan and South Korea

In a recent chat with Turner Business , Turner College professor of marketing Sungwoo Jung made the point that luxury brands are gaining the degree of influence in many developing countries that they enjoy now in developed countries. He has been pondering this issue as part of his international marketing research program, which typically focuses on advertising, pioneering advantages and multi-cultural analysis. Currently, Jung is concentrating his energies on a cross-cultural analysis of brand equity that highlights luxury brands’ performance. His research finds that China, Japan and South Korea have each seen an increase in market share for luxury brands in recent years. As Jung explained to Turner Business , “These three countries share a common philosophical background – Confucianism.” With that point in mind, Jung and his coauthors are currently engaged in an investigation of how Confucianism influences consumer behavior in these three Asian countries, and how that behavior im

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
