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.
Officials in the Turner College's Butler Center for Research and Economic Development recently put the finishing touches on an extensive report on trends in educational programs and occupations in the Columbus area. The report also includes data on business and technology trends. According to Fady Mansour , Director of the Butler Center, there are several key takeaways from the report regarding 10 occupational gaps that currently exist in the Columbus area. First, software development occupation exhibits the biggest labor shortage, with the report adding that the TSYS School has a bachelor's degree program in information technology along with a new AI track for the bachelor's degree in computer science, both of which can qualify students for this occupation. Other educational programs are in demand, such as computer programming and cloud computing. Second, there is a gap of 30 employees per year in general and operations management. This gap could be addressed by the Turn...
