A CECAS Graduate Student Advisory Board Travel Grant took twin PhD students from Clemson Automotive Engineering to Austria! 🇦🇹

Tanmay Samak and Chinmay Samak had a full schedule at , where they presented a paper entitled "Mixed-Reality Digital Twins: Leveraging the Physical and Virtual Worlds for Hybrid Sim2Real Transition of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Policies." They also presented two workshop papers, one of them receiving an award! And on top of all that, they co-organized two autonomous racing competitions, one simulated and one real.

Congratulations to this dynamic duo for conducting top level research, sharing their expertise with the academic community, and for winning a travel grant from CECAS GSAB this year which helped fund their travels. Amazing work!

2 new chairs from CECAS departments were recently celebrated as having finished the second ever New Chair Onboarding cohort! Dr. Robert Prucka (left) Department Chair of Automotive Engineering and Dr. Alexander Leonessa (right) Department Chair of Mechanical Engineering, were part of this nine-month, cohort-based program designed to support faculty as they transition into one of the University’s most complex leadership roles.

These two now oversee departments with some of the largest numbers of graduate students in the college. And having gone through sessions of mentoring circles, success coaches and interactive discussions led by experienced academic leaders, subject-matter experts and University professionals from across Clemson, Dr. Prucka and Dr. Leonessa are well positioned to lead their graduate programs to new heights!
