Welcome to the new Google Summer of Code scholars for 2023! INCF is sponsoring four students for which I (Bradly Alicea) am acting as mentor: two students for the DevoWorm group (via the OpenWorm Foundation community) and two students for the Orthogonal Research and Education Laboratory. These four students are pursuing three projects.
D-GNNs and DevoLearn (sponsored by the DevoWorm group)
Congratulations to Himanshu Chougule and Sushmanth Reddy Mereddy for being accepted to work on the Developmental Graph Neural Networks (D-GNNs) project. Sushmanth has been contributing to the DevoLearn platform for quite some time and will spend this summer working on improving the image segmentation to GNN embedding pipeline. Himanshu was a part of last Summer's GSoC cohort in the Orthogonal Research and Education Laboratory, working on the Open-source Sustainability project. His work resulted in developing Agent-based Model-Reinforcement Learning hybrid models. This year, he will be working on building Topological Data Analytic capabilities into the D-GNN pipeline.
Mayukh Deb and Jiahang Li are co-mentors for this project.
Virtual Reality for Research and Open-source Sustainability (sponsored by the Orthogonal Research and Education Lab)
Congratulations to Vrushali Nandurkar and R.V. Rajagopalan for being accepted to work on the projects Virtual Reality for Research and Open-source Sustainability, respectively. Vrushali is enthusiastic about working on creating open-source virtual world assets for scientific research and educational initiatives. R.V. will be working on a continuation of the Open-source Sustainability project, helping to augment the existing models and web interface.
Jesse Parent is a co-mentor for both projects, while Brian McCorkle is a co-mentor for the Open-source Sustainability project.
