  2024 Supercomputing Researcher Spotlight Series – Part II

  2:00pm

  at Academic Learning Center, 2105

  Bayesian Statistics is a useful framework for statistical inference that has found widespread application in various fields, including social science and business research. Unlike traditional frequentist statistics, Bayesian statistics incorporates prior knowledge or beliefs into the analysis, allowing for more flexible and nuanced modeling.

   

  Assistant Professor of Quantitative Analysis Dr. Yifan Zhang will deliver the second presentation of this two-part series and will offer a technical introduction to Bayesian computation, delving into the popular Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method and addressing the modern adaptations necessary for handling large datasets. Additionally, it provides tutorials and examples to guide the audience through the process of conducting Bayesian computing leveraging HPC.

  Gameplay Socialization and Symbolic Interaction in Digital Games

  11:30am

  at Prillaman Health Sciences, 2202

  Join us as the Innovative Creativity Research Community hosts an installment of its speaker series on Gameplay Socialization and Symbolic Interaction in Digital Games, featuring Dr. David Kirschner.

   

  Dr. Kirschner earned his PhD in sociology in 2014 from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, where he studied how videogame players are socialized into virtual worlds, including how they learn game rules and social norms through interaction with human and non-human others. Kirschner has since explored topics such as virtual reality sickness, gamification and health activism, gender representation in videogame advertisements, the dynamics of multi-player online gaming, sociological perspectives on role-playing games, and both self-directed and social-emotional learning in videogames. Current research projects include exploring communities of practice among artificial intelligences in single-player videogames and assessing student satisfaction of videogame-based learning in the classroom.

  Workshop: PIN Community Research Grants

  1:30pm

  at Academic Learning Center, 5500

  The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation (PIN) offers the Community Research Grant Program to support teams of university researchers and local governments of any size across Georgia and to expand new partnerships across the southeast U.S. The program provides up to $100,000 per project, program management, access to the Partnership’s Summer Internship Program and a network of peers. Alumni cities and counties have successfully implemented their projects and garnered additional funding and technical assistance to continue their project beyond the program period, continuing to serve their residents and meet their community’s goals. They have also garnered national recognition for their projects and served as a model for other communities in addressing similar problems. Projects are focused on addressing a community problem with applied research involving smart technology and/or civic innovation.

   

  In preparation for the next proposal window (2/1/25 through 5/15/25), the Community Research Grant Manager, Katie O’Connor, is coming to Kennesaw State to speak about the program and answer questions. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to discuss their idea and to bring three copies of a one-page summary of their research project. Research development staff and the AVP of Economic Development, Tyler Reinagel, will also attend to help provide guidance on proposal preparation. Refreshments will be provided.
