Jasmine Bordere and Yi Zhou Share 2026 Turner College Excellence in Research Award

Possibly for the first time ever, two winners were announced to receive one of the Turner College's faculty awards as both Turner College associate professor of accounting Jasmine Bordere and TSYS School computer science professor Yi Zhou took home the 2026 Turner College Excellence in Research Award. Like most researchers, Bordere's scholarship includes peer-reviewed journal articles, interdisciplinary research collaborations, and applied research that informs both academic literature and professional practice. Her eclectic research program addresses financial reporting standards, auditing practices, teaching effectiveness and student learning in higher education. Bordere's first publication, a study of audit risk, appears in the 2015 volume of Current Issues in Auditing. In the above and other areas, Bordere has experienced several research successes in recent years. Her 2020 article in Internal Auditing examines the financial reporting impacts of the coronavirus. That same year Bordere's article in the International Journal of Servant-Leadership discusses the servant leadership principles covered in the movie Lone Survivor. More recently, in 2024 and 2026, her research explores the student evaluation of teaching premium earned by clinical professors in economics, and racial comparisons of the impact of confidence and enjoyment on student success. These studies appear in Education Sciences and Research in Higher Education Journal, respectively. Lastly, Bordere's current work on the impact of universities' athletics success on the quality of their incoming students is being revised for resubmission to an A-rated journal. Success in this instance will produce her first such publication. This comes on the heels of the publication of Bordere's first book title, The Beauty Premium in Academe.
Zhou blazed his way through 2025 with nine journal publications, including papers published by Journal of Systems Architecture, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, Electronics (twice), Information, and the Journal of Supercomputing, Computers. In addition to this lengthy list, which follows eight peer-reviewed publications in 2024, Zhou supervised research conducted by several graduate students, including (1) Xian Gao, Mahmoud, Yasser, and Kaleb Horvath (undergraduate student) in the development of smart health systems, and (2) Pexiong He in data mining and recommending systems. Moreover, nine undergraduate students had the good fortune of working under Zhou's guidance on topics ranging from AI-powered smart sensing and monitoring for physical rehabilitation to private Cloud establishment for dynamically allocating computing resources for DS/AI projects. In addition to these achievements, Zhou's research recently surpassed 500 career Google Scholar citations. His Google Scholar citations count currently stands at 577, while his i10-index is currently equal to 18, meaning that he has published 18 studies that have each garnered at least 10 citations. Google Scholar also reports two additional metrics. One of these is a scholar’s h-index, which is the largest number, h, of a scholar’s publications that have each garnered at least h citations. Zhou’s h-index is currently 14, meaning that his 14 most-cited studies have each generated at least 14 citations. Zhou’s top-cited publication is a 2024 study that provides a comprehensive overview of past developments and recent progress in the development of AI technology for use in smart healthcare that appears in Future Internet. This piece is co-authored with former TSYS School student Xian Gao and scholars from Auburn University. Zhou’s second most-cited publication is a 2022 study that proposes a novel thermal-aware workload distribution strategy that takes node failure into account and can improve the energy efficiency of cloud data centers that appears in IEEE Transactions on Computers. This paper is co-authored with scholars from Jinan University, University of Exeter and Auburn University. Turner Business congratulates these two outstanding faculty on this latest achievement.
