Jayveer Kochhar, a rising high school senior who joined MSEAS during summer 2025 as an RSI scholar, has received one of five RSI Distinguished Written Paper Awards. His paper, “From Satellite Observations to Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics: Geostrophic Field Smoothing and Diffusion-Based Reconstruction,” focuses on how small-scale ocean currents, known as submesoscale features, can be predicted in the Gulf of Mexico. Congratulations Jayveer, and to his advisors Anantha and Akhil, as well as Chris and Pat for the data!

Congratulations to Aditya K. Saravanakumar, a Ph.D. candidate in the MSEAS group, for being awarded a MathWorks Mechanical Engineering Fellowship! The competitive MathWorks Engineering Fellowships are awarded to the top nominees from all of the academic departments in the School of Engineering, who use MATLAB and/or Simulink to advance discovery and innovation across disciplines. All the best to Aditya!

MSEAS was well represented this year at USNCCM in Chicago. Congratulations to Aditya, Akhil, Anantha, and Pierre!!

MSEAS alums Abhinav Gupta, Aaron Charous, and Deepak Subramani presented their work at the Forty-Second International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) in Vancouver from July 13-19. Congrats!!
