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.

Seven Turner College Management and Marketing Faculty Have Combined to Produce Eight A-Level Journal Publications Between 2021 and the Present

A number of faculty in the Turner College's Department of Management and Marketing, which includes faculty in management information systems, have produced A-level journal publications in the last few years. This report covers that activity, starting with John Finley , the chairperson of the department. Professor Finley published a paper in the Journal of Computer Information Systems in 2022.      Finley is joined by Kirk Heriot , the Crowley Distinguished Chair in Entrepreneurship. Heriot, who earned a PhD in management from Clemson University, published in a 2021 issue of Small Business Economics . One of the study's co-authors, Andres Jauregui of Fresno State University, was previously a member of the Turner College's economics faculty.      Next is Johnny Ho , a professor of management, who has a 2022 publication in the Journal of Computer Information Systems . Ho has won CSU's Excellence in Research Award on multiple occasions, while he has compiled 2...

TSYS School, Jianhua Yang, Lixin Wang Each among Top Five in the World

New research by computer scientists in the School of Information Technology at Universiti Utara Malaysia that ranks institutions and individuals on the basis of scholarship in the area of stepping-stone attacks heaps praise on the Turner College’s TSYS School of Computer Science and two of its faculty – Jianhua Yang and Lixin Wang .   The article, published in the April 2023 issue of the International Journal of Research in Engineering and Science , provides a bibliometric analysis of both publication and citation data from 2000 to September of 2022 related to research on stepping-stone intrusion.   Among several results, it reports that Columbus State University ranks second worldwide, trailing only the University of Houston, using total publications on the subject as the basis of comparison.   A number of other U.S. institutions appear in the top 10, including third-ranked North Carolina State University, fourth-ranked University of Illinois, sixth-ranked Iowa State U...

New Butler Center Report Identifies Employment Gaps in the Columbus Area

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...
