Anke Meyer-Baese, a professor in the Department of Scientific Computing in the College of Arts and Sciences, received the John von Neumann Distinguished Award in STEM, a Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Award, to conduct cutting-edge STEM research at the University of Szeged in Szeged, Hungary.
Meyer-Baese will spend the spring 2026 semester developing new research that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and modern control network theory to study the spread of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, she will be teaching a course on AI with the University’s Research Group on Artificial Intelligence (RGAI). The University of Szeged is a premier AI center in Europe, so being able to work at this location will deepen her understanding of theoretical foundations in AI.

David Robinson graduated from Florida State University in Spring 2023 with a doctorate in computational science from the Department of Scientific Computing, part of the College of Arts and Sciences. Robinson was the first graduate of the department’s fire dynamics doctoral program, one of two interdisciplinary graduate degree tracks in association with FSU's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute. Currently, Robinson is a postdoctoral researcher at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico where he develops the QUIC-Fire code, a bite-sized version of complex fire modeling techniques, to precisely model prescribed burns. QUIC-Fire models enable better-informed natural resource management at the local and regional levels.
