Most people know turbulence as the force that can make airplane flights bumpy. Scientists recognize it as one of the most important, yet unsolved, problems in physics.

Despite decades of research, the chaotic nature of turbulence makes it difficult to predict and control. This challenge impedes more than smoother air travel. Solving the turbulence problem could lead to advances in areas ranging from sustainable energy to training a smarter workforce for the era of artificial intelligence (AI).

To advance understanding of turbulence, the National Science Foundation is establishing a new, $30 million Science and Technology Center (STC) at Michigan State University. Georgia Tech is among eight universities supporting the center.

Assistant Professor Qi Tang will join the STC for Transformative Explorations in Multi-Physics and Engineering of Scientific Turbulence (TEMPEST). TEMPEST, launched on Sept. 1, aims to build trustworthy, predictive models of real-world turbulence.

Georgia Tech hosted the 2026 MFEM Community Workshop on Sept. 22-25. Assistant Professor Qi Tang served on the organizing committee and the School of CSE was a sponsor for the workshop. MFEM is a free, lightweight, scalable C++ library for finite element methods led by Tzanio Kolev, a computational mathematician at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. 

College of Computing Senior Associate Dean and School of CSE Regents’ Professor Srinivas Aluru was selected to chair the search committee to identify the next editor in chief of ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery (TKDD), a premier journal for the data mining community.

The CSE Graduate Student Association (GSA) hosts coffee hour every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. in the CSE Workshop Room in Coda.
