Sophia Sanborn is on the TWIML AI Podcast with Sam Charrington

Sophia Sanborn, postdoctoral fellow in our Lab, is featured in the renowned TWIML AI Podcast with Sam Charrington.

Watch her discuss why deep networks and brains learn similar features here!

Our survey of topological neural networks is the most popular arxiv link!

Our literature review "Architectures of Topological Deep Learning: A Survey of Topological Neural Networks" was the most popular Arxiv link on April 22, 2023!

Congratulations to the authors Mathilde Papillon, Sophia Sanborn and Nina Miolane from our lab, as well as to our collaborator Mustafa Hajij.

Nina Miolane Awarded a Faculty Research Grant by the Academic Senate

Nina Miolane, PI of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, is recognized by UCSB Academic Senate for the scholarly excellence of the Lab!

This grant, provided by the chancellor, will allow the team to develop novel methodology that can reveal brain anatomical changes across important life events, e.g. through aging, menopause, among many others.

Nina Miolane named Hellman Fellow

Nina Miolane was named a 2023 Hellman Fellow. The Hellman Fellows Fund, founded by Chris and Warren Hellman in 1994, provides support to promising junior faculty in the earliest stages of their academic career. The award supports emerging leaders across the University of California, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Stanford University, Harvard Business School and Williams College.

Adele Myers Receives the Prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP)

Adele Myers, Ph.D. in the Geometric Intelligence Lab, has been awarded the prestigious NSF GRFP fellowship. She will receive 3 years of funding to develop novel cutting-edge methodology to analyze biological shapes.

This award recognizes her as an outstanding graduate student & high-achieving early career scientist!

Adele Myers Gives an Eye-Opening Public Lecture in Santa Barbara!

50% of the world's population experiences menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause. 85% of females aged 18-64 have used contraceptives. Yet, only a small fraction of research has been dedicated to understanding how these processes impact the female brain. This lack of attention to female health is surprising, especially considering the increased risk of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's, migraines, and multiple sclerosis in women.

Sophia Sanborn Receives the Prestigious PIMS-Simons Fellowship!

Sophia Sanborn, postdoctoral fellow in the Geometric Intelligence Lab, has been awarded the prestigious PIMS-Simons fellowship from the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the Simons Foundation.

This fellowship recognizes her as an "outstanding young researcher in the mathematical sciences”!

Nina Miolane is Featured in UCSB Convergence Revue

Nina Miolane, PI of the Geometric Intelligence Lab, is featured in UCSB Magazine of Engineering & Science (Convergence) for our research on quantifying the morphodynamics of migrating cells with geometric statistics !

The cells in our bodies are constantly on the move to achieve a myriad of tasks that are essential to life. What happens when cell motion is disrupted? What can we learn from the uncoordinated dances of abnormal moving cells? Could we read characteristics of pathologies such as cancers by decoding cell movements?
