Congratulations to Computational Science students Alexander DeLise and Jacob Scalabrin!
Four Florida State University students have been awarded the 2026 Barry Goldwater Scholarship, a national honor recognizing outstanding sophomores and juniors pursuing research careers in the sciences, engineering and mathematics.
The winners are Alexander DeLise, a junior from Tampa; Shiv Patel, a sophomore from Tallahassee; Sebastian Ruiz, a junior from West Palm Beach; and Jacob Scalabrin, a junior from Tampa.
It is the first time four FSU students have received the scholarship in the same year.
FSU doctoral candidate utilizes computational science to improve material predictions and mentor next-generation researchers.
Department of Scientific Computing student Yifan Wang has been accepted to participate in COGNESTIC 2026, an international training program hosted by the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit that brings together early-career researchers working at the intersection of neuroscience, cognition, and computational methods. The program will take place this September and provides selected participants with intensive workshops, lectures from leading scientists, and collaborative research opportunities.
Ocean Sciences 2026 - University of Glasgow's main building
Students Jose Miranda and Jorge Velasco represented Florida State University's Department of Scientific Computing and the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) at the 2026 Ocean Sciences Meeting held in Glasgow, Scotland this past February, presenting innovative research that applies machine learning to advance oceanographic observation and analysis.
A research team in the Department of Scientific Computing has expanded a 1950s math game and turned it into a project that helps undergraduate students practice and grow their skills.
Bryan Quaife, associate professor in the Department of Scientific Computing and faculty associate of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute, based the work on Martin Gardner’s 1957 puzzle “Four Bugs on a Square.” In the original problem, one bug starts at each corner of an imaginary square and moves toward the one ahead of it at the same speed. Their paths form matching spirals that curve inward until they meet at a single point.
